I have done a search on the subject of fuel economy as well as checked Grady Whites site and noticed that the fuel economy numbers I am seeing are not in line with mine on my boat. Even in the best sea conditions with moderate loads the best fuel economy readings I have ever seen is 1.1 MPG. Grady's website shows the Marlin reaching 29.5MPH at 4000RPMS, in order for me to cruise at that speed my engines would have to run at around 4700RPMs. I have my GPS linked to my gauges so speed is coming from my GPS as opposed to the motors sensors.
I usually run each engine off seperate fuel tanks and noticed that when I top off my tanks after running low my AUX tank which is feeding my port engine will always take 15 to 20 gallons more than my main tank. Anyone know why one engine would burn more then the other?
I have already tried changing out the spark plugs but still have not improved my economy.
My boat is a 2006 and has twin F250's.
