My engines will draw off of either tank. The current config. is Port feeds Port and Starboard feed Starboard. I am getting the feeling the "sweet" spot will be a bit different for every boat. And perhaps I need to go and look into fuel meters. Does anybody have a recomendation for meters? Not...
Thanks for the insight. My next trip out I will run at 3000 or 3600 rpm. I hope that gives me a better burn rate. I agree with the plowing bow; It does get on the nerves. But to my defense, I was told that should be a better rpm / burn rate for my bank account. Now I am thinking the gentlemen...
Thank you for the replies,
First, are you looking at your fuel tank guages or do you have flow meters....I am watching the gauges, no flow meters. But I thought it odd they were the same for such a long period.
When you topped off, did you fill it until the gauges showed full or did you...
Help please...This weekend my son and I made a 100 mile round trip. I was trying to get a feel for (our) new 370 DA and its fuel consumption. We topped off the gas tanks prior to leaving started out. When we arrive at the first destination we burned 1/4 tank (per engine, per tank). Then we made...
Thanks guy's, all this information helped. I took the boat out this weekend. with full fuel tanks, fresh water and loaded fair with food and friends. I tried to run the boat on avg. @ 3000 RPM (and note my run times) for the bulk of the day. At days end I went and purchased some more liquid...
Thanks again. That got it, took a boat ride with the valves open and the A/C on. Before I knew it, the water was flowing again and making cold air... And not a min. too late, it was 100*F today.
Hello all;
Took the boat out this weekend and had some problems with the house A/C. The boat is 2 months old for me, so this may just be a learning curve for me. Any ways when I had the boat surveyed the house A/c was working great (I sat in it for a couple of hours) and after the survey...
Thank you, this seems to be a simple way guesstimation for fuel burn. And much cheaper than a gps (for now) I would be interested in the gps set up RollerCoaster speaks of. But not till end of year. $trapped
New SR owner here. Ok well not new, but new to me..I have just purchased a 92 SR 370 Sundancer; and I am itching to get her out and about. But I have a few questions and hope you all can help.
My boat has twin 454's (7.4) and I will assume stock prop's on her. I have no idea what the most...
