Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my boat's fuel burn rate?
Check your engine manual or owner's manual for gallons-per-hour figures at cruising RPM, or track your own fuel usage over a few trips.
Does this account for idling and trolling?
This is a simplified estimate based on average speed. Idling, trolling, and rough water will increase actual fuel consumption.
Can I use this for other watercraft?
Yes, this works for any powered boat as long as you know its fuel burn rate and average cruising speed.
