I do a lot of open ocean tours and just completed a trip from Sorrento to Refuge Cove Wilson's Prom return (460klm), seas were rough, average speed 45 kph, rpm 5k to 5.5k as in the air a lot due to conditions rpms continuously jumped up and down to 8k.
Ski was loaded with additional 80ltr fuel and approx 40kg of equipment, me at approx 110kg geared up an a pod system weighting around 55kgs, the pods do add extra buoyancy and stability for the iS model in these conditions.
Having the IS the ski capacity is only 227kg (i carry 285kg overall)
Fuel economy was 1.6klm per litre or approx. 110klm per tank. I have included a couple of pics to show setup and route
I tried to engage eco mode but tutorial says throttle must be fully in but speed is too high in open ocean rough seas
I would value any suggestions on how to achieve better fuel economy?
regards
Mike
