Best RPM for fuel ecconomy? F-30
Hey Guys does anyone have fuel flow sensors on a F-30? If so what do you find to be the best rpm to run at for fuel economy? Thanks.

juuuust kidding...
We have a Flo-Scan on our F30, and it seems that 2000-2200 rpm is the best for us. We aren't going very fast, but we still have fuel when we get back to the dock
We had some engine issues that just got worse this Winter, so we never really ran over 1800 from Sept - Jan, and we barely burned any fuel at all. I could have rowed faster than we were going, but it would have been quite cold.
Of course your fuel economy is going to depend on other factors - how much weight you are carrying/ pulling and how grungy your hull is, how much weather you are bucking into...etc...
