Looking to see my range on a 50 hp 2011 yammy outboard on a 16 fy lumacraft. Got a 9 gallon tank. Looking to make about a 25 mile round trip

Thanks beam. Is there a chart to figure this out. I'll be running 4500 rpm the whole run

on our 16 flat with a 40 yammy we'd make freakin great mileage. at least double what you're needing.

You'll have that easy. I used to have a Yamaha 60, 2 stroke, on a 15' aluminum bass boat. I always used 6mpg as my judgement factor, but in reality it got closer to 8mpg.

It is a four stroke so the gas mileage should be great. Thanks for you're help

So I should be able to make the run to the spot on about a
2 gallons
2 gallons

I would just drop an extra fuel tank in the boat for the trip just to make sure...you can get one relatively inexpensively and you won't have to be worrying...

With a 9 gallon tank you will be fine. I sometimes run that distance on a Yamaha 50 hp 2 stroke, with a 6 gallon tank, but I bring an extra 3 gallon tank just in case. Switched tanks twice but never came close to draining both tanks. You'll be fine with 9.

Thanks hog. I got a different boat but that helps

Dude...you got this. I go 45 mile round trip on a 90 hp Evinrude on a 18 fiberglass boat for 9 gallons.
Just bring an extra tank with you.

2 stroke or 4?
I have a 4 stroke 115 and the gas mileage is incredible.

I have a 50f and it gets 8-9 miles per gallon. I run all day on 6 gallons
