The board seems a little slow lately so I figured I would post some numbers
Click on Pic to enlarge...and again to enlarge more...
One day I had time to kill so I went out and recorded the following:
I have A Suzuki 70 with full ballast in My MacM and recorded the following with a Lowrance GPS and wiring harness connected to the module on the motor to measure fuel usage at the injectors...
I wanted to do a chart but I could not figure it out how to work Excel so this will have to do....

Thank you for your data, I have often wondered what the exact fuel economy is and I have the exact same set up. How fast was your current?? Do you run much with no ballast??
bhmurray-
I did not take a standing measurement of the current but by looking at the numbers I would estimate about 2.5 MPH current I never run without ballast. If I did it would have to be like glass out there with no more then 3 persons. I do not like the characteristics on how the boat handles with no ballast and I am never in that much of a hurry.
Jim-
Nothing fancy on the spread sheet....
open your sreadsheet> push print screen button on your keyboard (top right side)> open PAINT (program, standard on all windows computers under accesories)>Go to the EDIT menu and hit PASTE...the image of anything that was on your screen when you pushed the Print Screen will now be visable>Crop the area you want as a "picture" and go to edit menu and CUT> Go to FILE >New and open a New page and EDIT>Paste the cropped image and save it as a JPEG (use the drop down menu)
I know it may sound cmplicated but do it three times and it is easy It will save any image on your screen as a Picture and you can post it from there...There may be a easier way but this is how I do it...
Another way to do it is Scan the document with a scanner and save it as a picture and post it from there
