    Salvage question.

    One of my oldest friends just called me. He just bought a 36 foot sailboat in Ft Lauderdale and moved it to a mooring ball, in Miami, this past weekend. He didn't have time to replace all the lines. Tropical Storm Gordon paid them a visit and the boat broke free from the mooring. No one was on...

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    Turns out computer was off by more. It said I had 29 gallons let and when I filled up I took on 90 gallons. Not good! It’s been perfect up till now which means I may have made an error.

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    I've got 150 hours on my 200 Yamaha and it's been consistent at almost 3 mpg. My 150 Suzuki was lucky to get 2 mpg. It really has been a pleasant surprise as I figured I'd loss a little mpg going with a larger engine :D

    Spot Light

    I just ordered some. Thank's for the idea! The sun reflection does bother me and it will also work well with the spot light.

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    Mine is the same thing. I usually go about 20 MPH but if the water is flat I'll kick it up to about 25 (4,100 RPM) and shocked that I'm still getting 3 MPG. I like it!!

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    It was a working trip for me or I would have contacted you and Dr Bob. I was working a convention at the Hilton and rather then get a room I took my boat and stayed at Peg Legs/La Fitte Cove Marina. Cool place!!

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    Here is the data for the last 260 miles. It shows 89.9 gallons used and that's about 2.89 miles per gallon. Which is about right for the last year. I added 20 gallons before the trip so the remaining fuel should be right BUT the fuel gauge showing empty was still a little disconcerting.

    So, which one do you trust your computer or fuel gauge?

    I'm heading back from Pensacola Beach, FL to Blue Water Bay Marina about 50ish miles and I notice my fuel gauge showing empty. I added enough fuel to make it there and back, I thought. I'm still getting used to the boat. Fuel gauge shows empty but computer shows 32.9 gallons. The computer has...

    Any cons to camper back?

    I really enjoy mine especially in winter. In summer the screens gives some privacy in marinas which is nice.
