Afternoon People,
Would anyone have any idea on the fuel consumption rate of the honda 50 hp 4 stk working through the rev range and at what revs does it cruise most comfortably.I have one on the back of my 4-55 poly c/c I just can't seem to find any running test's anywhere.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.As I'am heading up north soon and apparently i'll be travelling fair distances between fishing spot's.

why dont you test the consumption rates for yourself ?
go on a nice day a measured trip of 30 km and see how much fuel you use
this would be the best way to see how your setup goes using fuel

I have a 50hp 4St Suzuki on my 4.55 poly and we travelled approx 60 km on smooth water on the inside of Fraser last weekend and when I topped up this morning it took about 12 litres. Might give you some idea but as Vertico says go for a run over a measured distance and then fill it up. Probably the best way for individual boat/motor combinations as everyone is different with speed, weights etc
