i have a 175hp yamaha on my Outrage 18 1989. i am finding that my fuel usage between 32 and 3500 rpm is 8 to 10 gallons per hour. is this about right?

That sounds about right, many variables came in to play, prop, weight etc...
I had V6 Merc and it burned about the same.
See the link to Yamaha site for the performance of a 150HP

Hi, you didn't state what your Yamaha was, carb.,hpdi,4-stroke??. I've got a 1990 19 outrage with a 150 etec and run about 3300 and burn 6 gal/hr. Oh, the prop is a 17 pitch 3 blade ss
