Harry is correct.... Also.. If you use your boat a lot then it will
probably pay for itself in a year or two.... I had a pair of 454's in a
Phoenix 33 and it was an eye opener.... found out for that boat, I had
to push it a bit past optimum cruise RPM (Per crusader) to get the best
fuel economy. It also helped me justify the new Cummins 370s I put in
the boat two years later....

Agreed for that situation. But would it not be more fair to start
out full of fuel and then top off when you get back. That way you
know exactly how much you burned.



That would be more accurate, if I wanted to take the time to do so
every time I
go out. But, I don't.


For under $150, you can install a fuel-flow meter and be done with it.
You can probably install it yourself.



Thanks, I didn't see Harry's response to my post (he's filtered). Every year I
consider flow meters, but never do anything about it. Maybe this year I'll break
down and do something. But then I have to figure out where to put the gauge. Not
a lot of places to do it on my console. Any recommendations as to type?
