Default what is my fuel consumption ...
Have a 1992, 120 V4 Evinrude powering a 2000 (approx) Key West 19'. Can anyone give me an estimate on the GPH? My guage is not working, and need boat tomorrow. Thanks

Thank you, 'nado,

That will keep us from running out until I can fix the sending unit. We/ve only had the boat out twicw and are not familiar with it yet.

Happy fishing...

Should that be 75% at cruise?? 12gph *.75 is 9gph at 40rpm. I bet you get about 30mph cruise which give about 3mpg, which is typical for 18 to 21 foot boats with single outboards. Just my experience.
