Honda 225 on my Seacraft 23WA

[gss036]

I was pleasantly surprised today with the performance of the new 225 Honda. I just put on a Northstar F210 fuel flow guage and today was the 1st time using it. I had been expecting much higher fuel usage than what showed up. I ran at 3600-3700 RPM and was traveling at 26-28 MPH with a fuel consumption of 4.8/4.9 GPH. Man! What a difference that is compared to my old Merc 200 HP carbed engine.Even with gas prices down, I paid $1.89/9 to day, that will definately help pay for the new engine much sooner than expected.
