Tips For Reducing Fuel Usage
* The proper use of trim tabs reduce drag, especially while accelerating up to planning speeds.
* Minimize the amount of time that you idle at the dock
* Minimize the use of onboard generators.
* Use dock-side electrical power in lieu of generators.
* Have a float plan so you know exactly where you’re going.
* Make sure the hull is clean.
* Don't under-power your boat. It's important you have enough motor to handle the load.
* Check your propeller. If your boat is slow "out of the hole" or lacks top-end speed, you might have the wrong propeller.
* A well-tuned engine uses less fuel.
* Use the grade of gasoline specified by the engine manufacturer.
