You asked about fuel consumption in a V6 Evinrude.
My Johnson GT200 (1987) burns about 9 gals/hr at cruise. That is pushing a 20'
cuddy at about 22 knots (gps indicated) according to my flowmeter.That is
optimum mileage. At wide open it is around 20 gals./hr
I hope this helps.
My prayers are with you.

yes it does....so even @ 10gal per hr...with a 117 gal tank....11
hrs...enough to get to keys. hmmmm....and my son's wife kept me idle
saying there was ship to shore communication that they were 12 hrs
from home @ 7 am sun morn....by 7 pm sun she said there had been no
communication. hmmmmmm what wife could go to sleep when planned

call CG? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
