Gas Usage

[<Buford>]

Can anyone with a Classic 115hp Merc tell me what fuel consumption they use?

I have a 17 foot something V hull Fibreglass boat and use about 3 - 4 Gallons per hour at 3500 – 4000 rpm

I thought this was pretty good

There are a lot of variables that make up the amount of fuel you will burn. Water conditions, weight and style of boat, propping etc.

You should be seeing around 15-28 miles with that much fuel.

This is based on 5-7 mpg which is what most engine run.
