Harry, do you know of any tests showing fuel consumption of the Yamaha 150?

Yamaha has pages and pages of "performance bulletins" on its engines, on
its website.
I guess I'm just plain stupid. I go to the site, click on performance
bulletins, select '4 stroke', 115hp and up, and then there are no
selections. This is the page I'm going to:

There's a flaw in the way the page works. Select "ALL" three times until
you get to the Boat Manufacturer's Name, then select the name you want.
It'll pull up all the boats of that line that were tested, and you can
see the results for the various matchups between engines and boats. At
least it works that way for me.

Drove me more nuts until I figured it out. Don't ask me why it works
that way. But it does.

I've tried several times, but couldn't get it to work. Thanks.


You still can't get it to work?

I should have said 'had tried'. Yes it works, there were a couple dozen
bulletins for Key West boats. Not an exact match, but close enough. Looks
like I should use about .5 gph trolling (3mph) and a little less than 5 gph
cruising (3500 rpm).
