Default Typical gph for a 6 hp Mercury 4-stroke ?

We just replaced the ancient o/b with a 6 hp, 4-stroke Mercury. What are
some typical per hour fuel consumption numbers for a 6 hp 4-stroke Merc
o/b ?

I'm asking because we're about to make the crossing out to Santa
Catalina Island the day after christmas and I want to make sure I carry
enough fuel in case the winds should completely die down. I'm _guessing_
1/2 a gallon per hour at 3/4 throttle ?

Thanks,



-Sven
