I have a Honda 5hp 4stroke on my M17 and have been wondering what its gallon per hour burn rate is... For lake sailing I fire up the engine just to get away and to the launch ramp, otherwise, I rarely motor. I'm headed out this week to do some coastal sailing where I'll probably use the engine a lot more. Have any of you all checked out how much your engines burn at different speeds and covering quite a distance? Thanks in advance for any info. George J. M17 #600 "Rocinante"
