What is typical Seagull fuel consumption?
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 9:53 am
Hello,
I'm a new Seagull owner, with a pair of 40+ engines (1955 and 1963). After various technical hiccups I've now got both running smoothly and took one out onto the Thames in my 13' dinghy for a decent trip at the weekend.
After something like 2 hours at half throttle it seemed like I'd used about half a tankful of fuel - which seemed reasonable to me.
But I'm curious what is considered typical fuel consumption for Seagulls or this size. How long do other people expect a talk of fuel to last when running under reasonable load?
