- 2004 5.0 Mercruiser with Bravo 3
Serial No OM684005
Hello,
I have a 2004 Searay 260da. It has the little 5.0-litre merc cruiser, single-engine.
At just over 4,000 rpm, it does about 20 knots. Based on the smart craft gauge it burns about 67 litres an hour.
Where I live in Australia it's open ocean, so not a flat lake or river.
1. Does that seem correct?
2. Also does trimming the engine leg help with field consumption etc.?
3. It only revs to about 4,200. Would that be correct too?
Thank you,
Byron
