    My new Merc

    Some will know I bought 40 Merc in December. went on a 4.25 allycraft Reel Mate

    Been trying to put some hours on it to get it to it's first service.

    I did a few trips and one trip I noted fuel usage.

    Did 11.9k's for 2.2litres. ( this was a trip from Raby Bay to Peel Island for the day )

    This was a visual measure as I don't have gauges for this.

    I did a 31k trip yesterday and will fill the tank today to get another reading.

    BUT, that sounds real good to me.

    The new "small" outboards do give amazing economy, my 50 uses bugger all, can get in quite a few crab trips before I top up, just to keep the tank full, I used to carry a spare small tank, but can't be bothered now, mind you, most crabbing is low speed use.
