Tips For Reducing Fuel Usage
October 20, 2008
- Slower speeds on the water will reduce fuel usage.
- Proper use of trim tabs reduce drag, especially while accelerating up to planing speeds.
- Minimize the amount of time you spend idling at the dock.
- Minimize the use of onboard generators.
- Use dock-side electricity instead of generators.
- Have a float plan so you know exactly where you are going.
- Make sure your hull is clean.
- Don't underpower your boat. It's important to have enough motor to handle the load.
- Check your propeller. If your boat is slow or lacks top end speed you may have the wrong propeller.
- A well tuned engine uses less fuel.
- Use the grade of gasoline that the engine manufacturer specifies.
