 | The Boaters Guide to Improving your Boats Fuel Economy
Increased fuel prices are hurting commercial and sport fishermen, charter boat operators and recreational boaters. Saving fuel is a complex issue, dependent largely on your particular vessel and how you operate. There isn't much boaters can do about the price of fuel, but they can follow some basic procedures to help reduce the amount of fuel needed and lower the cost of fuel consumption. Saving money on boat fuel can be as easy as simply slowing down or as complicated as replacing a boats engine and results vary greatly depending on the vessel. This program offers tips for conserving fuel along with fuel saving suggestions for re-powering boats.
By following a few simple steps and procedures, boaters can lower their vessel fuel costs without drastically changing day to day operations and boating activities.
If you're in the market for a new or used boat, you'll also find tips and suggestions to help you make the right purchase decisions.
You'll learn Tips for Conserving Fuel by Reviewing:
Engine & Hull Maintenance
Propellers
Navigation
Weight Considerations
