1987 90hp Evinrude

[KAJUNGA]

My 1987 ( or thereabouts ) 90hp evinrude is using alot of gas. I have a 17 foot Boston Whaler. At 3500 Rpm's ( which is all I need to get the boat planed ) I go through 6 gallons of gas an hour. <br />Is this normal? All I do is drive back and forth to the marina to purchase gas. They love me there !!

This is a duplicate post.Your question was answered a few days ago.Guess you weren't happy with that one either.Perhaps a third would be the charm.

There is, however, a solution to your problem---more gas tanks.
