Fuel Economy

Fuel economy can vary depending on boat
load, hull design, and throttle setting. When
boat reaches top speed, throttle back from
FULL SPEED to a lower throttle setting. You
can save fuel with a minimal loss of speed.
If equipped, use the "fuel economy" feature of
digital displays or gauges to optimize fuel con-
sumption. Refer to the user's guide for the
digital display.
