So had to go this arvo ,wanted to go to Clifton springs but I thought touch windy.
Launched st helens solo n without any mishaps launching or retriving.
Wind was south 13knot plus.
Gave the boat a run up past pt heny ,boat seem to cruise around 28knots so ...and with only s rough idea how much ks per tank, I decided to chuck a you turn a bit past pt Henry n went to nth shore rocks n sounded for a bit .
Eventually anchored and petrol gauge was on empty.
Burlyed up n.Plenty of these little buggers...
On pipi
So switched to worm sp n.got some 30cm pluses....
Sounder was playing up and when I got to dry land checkrd tranducer n was loose as a goose.

Was it your first time out in your new boat mate? How many keepers you end up with?

Re: G_town..st helens.
get a new sounder , one with nmea2000 capability and add a fuel flow sensor, that way you can check usage all the time. but ofcourse theres easier ways to do it. but since you might be needing a new sounder its an option worth looking into

Re: G_town..st helens.
There's a factory (or dealer can't remember) option for ~70l underfloor tank. Give international marine a call and find out about it
