kingie chaser Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 No one here can answer your question. Find out your consumption rate at full throttle & then you will get ypur max distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) This might help. My tinny is 14 foot and I have a 30hp 2 stroke. I carry quite a bit of gear too. 22 lites of fuel and I had about 2 litres left. I had two crew on board and seas and wind were rough. 30% throttle most of the time (8 knots) except in the bay where about 80% throttle (16 knots) Edited October 29, 2019 by Guest123456789 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) I have a 13ft tinny, 25hp 2 stroke with 25ltr tank. I usually get 4 or 5 trips (4 to 5 hours mostly on my own!) out of it scooting around in botany bay from spot to spot then drift fish mostly & occasionally anchoring. If its a concern carry 10ltr plastic jerry can with you if you think you will be out for a long time or going somewhere over night. Imo if would be hard to consume a whole 22ltrs in 1 day around the harbour. Trail & error, run it, look at the tank gauge & see how much you have used!

Fishn50 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I had a 15ft tinny with a 30Hp 2 stroke Mercury all the gear, bait tank, 2 anchor sets ect , would launch at Roseville fish the Harbour all day with plenty of moving round, and would use 11L on my own (88kg) or with 2 (160kg) and use 15L. As the others said it all depends on if its a 2 or 4 stroke, weight of boat, gear and people inside. I doubt you would ever use 22L in a day unless you went outside. PS. I ran it pretty it much flat out when moving spots, and coming and going from the boat ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campr Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Only way to find out is to take some spare fuel in a tank/drum and run it nearly dry. Wind and choppy water will increse fuel usage considerably. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
