Hey all, got my new boat in the water this weekend. It is a 22ft SSRX pontoon with lifting strikes. It is powered with a Merc 115 command thrust. I'm also running an OEM 3 blade stainless 15 pitch x 15 diameter that Bennington recommended.
i went through a full tank of gas in 4.5 hours of use. Most 4000 rpm or less. Dealer said I could take it up over 4000 after 2 hours but only for a few hundred yards at a time.
My confusion.....the gas use....everyone says that seems high.
