OK guys,
went fishing today

http://home.cfl.rr.com/jackman1939/DSC00002.JPG

put 55 miles on the boat - 19.5 gallons of gas = 2.8 mpg - most of the travel was 43 mph
5000 rpm = 43 mph
5500 = 46 WOT
14.5X19 SS prop
full tank of gas - 2 people (~430 lbs)
The E-TEC is quieter than the Honda
Starts instantly (every time).
Love the motor.

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
 

Hi Guys,
I'm back. Have been enjoying my rig!
Need some help with something:

I'm smelling some gas fumes in my boat.
Looked at the top of the gas tank (where the fuel gauge sensor goes into it) - nothing leaking there. Peeked around other places, but could not pinpoint anything.
Any ideas?
thanks

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
 

Is the smell constant or do you just smell it after the tank is full?

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
 

I just replaced the gas fill hose on mine, it got rid of the gas smell. If you have original hoses, thats probably it.

I just hope it aint the tank leaking.

Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda
 

I get heavy gas fumes for the first hour after filling tank , the vent is in arms reach of helm the dually dosent have that side windshield to block the wind while moving
