MPG
 
I was trying to figure out the MPG my boat will get. I've got a 21 ft Skeeter Bay Pro with a EFI Mercury 200 on it. I haven't made any big runs with it yet, but was just wondering what it should get...

Fill ur tank up, go fishing, be sure to calculate mileage, come home and top off boat then devide miles, by gallons used. simple

Just guessing somewhere between 2-3mpg if its propped correctly

I always thought outboards were rated by using gallons per hour burned.

I certainly hope you don't have a heavy foot.

My 225 Optimax gets about 3.35 mpg at 4500 rpm and about 3.9 at 4000 rpm.

My 150 Yamaha 4 stroke does about 7 GPH and 4.5 MPG at 4000 RPM according to the puter

cmdrost 07-21-2011 09:21 AM

4 strokes at WOT burn as much if not more fuel than 2 strokes.

Same engine as jchief. Yammy 150 4 stroke:

I've never taken the time to calculate it, but performance bulletin from yamaha says:

3000 RPM = 6.08 MPG
4000 RPM = 5.45 MPG
5000 RPM = 4.46 MPG
6000 RPM = 3.33 MPG (WOT)

Hydro 07-21-2011 07:29 PM

Cruise RPM, 9-11 miles per gallon...

Average fishing trip I burn 1.8-2.4 gallons...

Yamaha 40 four stroke EFI...
