Hi folks,
Not yet decided if my new 5.7 v8 is becoming a merc or a Volvo, I have access to parts for both. The engine will have a 4bbl with vacuum secondaries, 330hp im told.
One thing is for sure, it will be a single prop outdrive on merc 23' highfive prop.
I'm trying to establish on our Four Winns Sundowner 205 with me, wife and two small kids and light camping gear what kind of consumption we should expect at -
A- tick over in gear, silent cruising
B- on cruise with smart tabs
C- WOT
Seems like a difficult question to answer but id appreciate if anyone could have a go at it.
Sincere thanks in advance.
Stan
