I know it seems way off. What is more confusing is that the Suzuki gauge was calibrated by the dealer taking into account the tank shape.Something not adding up. Fuel burn on those engines is around 25 to 28 litres per hour per engine at cruise speed of 4000 rpm.
If you cruise at 30 knots and you have travelled 80 nautical miles you should have burned about 133 litres.
Yes Bill, any video of her?did you take any video of your trip up the arm?
I have seen some boats that in the water gets air trapped in the front of the tank when the tank vent and filler are at the stern of the tank so they will not totally fill up in the water with the stern down a bit. Once on a trailer with the tank closer to level they get more fuel in the tank as the vent is able work properly. On my friends boat we need a couple of big guys on sitting on the bow to fill up at the dock until he fixed it by moving the vent line to the front of the tank.Maybe boat was filled on the trailer vs in the water might sit differently. Even if it’s double that’s pretty damn good!
I’m a bit surprised you didn’t have a fuel flow indication on your engine electronics that would have told you what your burn was on the run across the Strait.
Remember to swipe right.No video, sorry. My arm just isn't that long- even with a selfie stick.
Oh I am certain that there is a Fuel Flow meter on the Suzuki gauges and I have no doubt that there is likely an altimeter, and a reasonable facsimile of the Norden Bomb Sight buried somewhere in the Furuno screens.
I am slowly working my way through every Manualand trust me there is no shortage of wonderful documentation written in the most warm, comforting, and understandable language imaginable.
If you know what you are looking for you won't find it, and if your don't know what you are looking for you will find the answer to something you never understood , and still don't
Of course, as you can well imagine, Furuno, Suzuki , ICOM, Fusion ,etc., all met in a bar in Vegas and decided that each of them should write-in a fashion that is 100% dissimilar from each other.
Mission accomplished.

Who came up with
Back in the mid-90s I was running crew boats up the Arm quite a bit, and I recall there being quite a vocal lobby from waterfront homeowners along that stretch. Their docks took quite a bit of abuse from the wakes of passing yachts and boats like ours.Who came up with this?
