[QUOTE="Fish Taco, post: 98569, member: 1850"] What size motor do you have and how is it on gas? I run a Nissan (Tohatsu) 18HP on a 3 gallon tank and according to Nissan, this thing only burns 1.5 gallons per hour at 5,500 RPM. What that really means is... I can't burn 3 gallons of gas in a day for the areas I fish. As I've said, I use a 3 gallon tank and have had zero thoughts about buying a larger one. I'm on the trolling motor for more miles than the outboard. And on the idea of moving the tank forward... Fuel only weighs about 6 lbs per gallon, so you're only talking 36lbs when filled to capacity. On a 3 gallon tank, you're talking 18 lbs. My little 8U series starting battery weighs more than 6 gallons of fuel. [/QUOTE]
