Gday everyone, just trying to work out an approx fuel usage on my 75hp honda 4 stroke older carbie model.
Prob is i havent used it enough to work out my self so was hoping someone here may have a similar motor and could give me an idea what to expect. At the moment im working on 20 litres an hr running at 4500 rpm.

Re: Honda fuel usage
Depends on boat, conditions, load etc but I run a yammie 80 4 stroke efi on a 490 top ender with a bit of gear and get 2.5km/l under normal conditions. Best economy is 3 but thats empty, glass and trimmed out. I always take way, way too much fuel for a trip though

My DF80 EFI Suzuki on 4.55 Topender which is always loaded does the same as Theodosius on long runs about 2.5km/L and a bit better if glass off and running down the big rivers with the tide.theodosius wrote:Depends on boat, conditions, load etc but I run a yammie 80 4 stroke efi on a 490 top ender with a bit of gear and get 2.5km/l under normal conditions.

Re: Honda fuel usage
Have a 50hp Honda 4 stroke on a 455 seajay ( work on 3km/L never done the check though )
Best thing I noticed for better fuel economy 20 years ago when I used to race ski boats was the amount of difference a stainless steel propeller made.........
As Grumpy mentioned Tides is the biggest blowout to any fuel equations up here.
As theodosius mentioned nothing wrong with bringing fuel home.
