Try doing a search on this sight. The names Floscan and Lowrance come to mind. I know Fishing Fool and Mboy installed one last season.

It is an eye opener. I run my Yammie at 4500 RPMs and get about a 13 gallon an hour fuel burn. It gets me about 22-25 MPH depending on conditions, etc. Bump the throttle to 5000 and the gallon per hour really rises. The speed does not go up in proportion to the RPMs. With that I know the sweet spot on my throttle for best fuel efficienty.  t^
