Gas Saving Tips

Posted in Uncategorized by Allegheny River Rat on the April 25th, 2008

A weekend on your boat, on the river, is still priceless, but the cost of gasoline is not. Some tips to reduce gas consumption this summer include:  

Removing unnecessary weight 

(from your body and from your boat) 

Having your prop repaired 

(drop your prop off Rosston Eddy Marina) 

Cleaning your bottom   

(always popular!) 

Tuning your engine 

(schedule your boat today)   

For most boaters, the average weekend of boating does not consume major quantities of gas — the engine isn’t running when you’re tied-off or anchored or simply drifting while you fish. 

Keeping all this in mind, your boat still is one of the best water-front summer vacations around! See you on the river!
