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.
