What are you guys getting for fuel efficiency on your four strokers?
In Gph if you please.

What about maintenance costs - general operating costs?


When I run up to Captiva (72 mile round trip) I burn about 11-12
gallons of gas. 60HP EFI 4 stroke on a 20-' pontoon boat.

1900 hours in, I am using 3 quarts of oil and a $13 filter every 100
hours, foot oil change every 500 and I am on my 2d set of plugs,
impeller and zincs. That is it for maintenance.


You only change the lower gear oil every 500 hours?
