[Richard A. Walker]

The Autoprop gets me about 1kt more speed at the same RPM.

Cheers,

I have a neat little Excel spreadsheet set up based upon the 3GM30 fuel
consumption data from the Yanmar site, along with my observed speeds under
power....

I've only had 3 trips to the pump since I bought the boat last September and
have burned between .40-.74 gph per fill-up. (the .74 included a lot of
motoring at 3400 rpm).

Feel free to modify for your boat and prop combo.

At the risk of sounding like a power boater has any one ever calculated
the<br>GPH of the Yanmar at 3K<br><br><br>
