Scott..

I have not been keeping a record, so let me try to answer some of your question now and next weekend, weather permitting, I plan to go out and I will record some specific fuel consumptions at specific RPMs. It will be interesting to see how those numbers will compare to numbers that you are getting..

To give you an idea on range - I have a 135 gallon tank. Last time I went off shore I covered 200 miles - ran out in the dark at 15 mph and back in at 25-30 mph. Trolled several hours at 5-6 mph and used 80 gallons. Last weekend I was trolling at 2 mph and was using .3 gallons per hour per engine.

As far as loud - compared to my son's 150 yamaha. But - as my son has pointed out - I have 2 engines and he has one. Also I think his console is a little further forward than mine so you are not on top of the engine. But - at speed it is loud.

Not sure what you mean by WOT #'s?

Any specific RPMs you would like me to record?

I'll get back to you next weekend.

Charlie
