This is a lazy mans way of doing things I guess. Im putting together a 14 ft runabout with a 58 Johnson 18hp.
Say with two adults aboard what kind of fuel usage can I expect. Trolling will be with my electric but just average crusin' around. Anybody got some input for me. Ive got a 6 1/2 gallon tank. Will that last me all day??? |

10% of the horse power per hour. So at wot you should be using 1.8 gallons per hour. But it's just a theory. So get a spare gas can and go test it. |
