Re: M_Boats: motor fuel

Larry Yake and I had separate estimates that at around 4-4.2 knots, you can get as much as 26 NM/gallon. Fuel economy drops rapidly as you increase speed from there. --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' On Apr 10, 2009, at 4:01 PM, Tom Jenkins wrote:

Hi folks,

Does anyone out there have an M17 with a long-shaft Honda 5 hp 4 cycle? If so, I wonder if you have recorded how far you can travel on a gallon of gas. Info on a similar motor from another Mfg might be equivalent. Thanks,
