Fuel Consumption - 150 Verado

Post by yepi'mon » Mon Jul 02, 2018 10:55 am

Hi Guys

Struggling to find any info on the net about what figures to expect from a 2011 150hp Verado on a Caribbean Adventurer (5.85m / 720kg (hull only)) at cruising speed?

Just a general idea will work!

Cheers
C

does the boat have a digital cluster or the sounder connected to the motor?
if so you can test drive and have a look at the readings..
