Now, do not change the engine speed. 
Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to 
stabilise, then press 
. Wait while the 
fuel computer records the data.
7   The TRACKER then asks you to set the 
throttle to achieve a target RPM. On a multi 
engine boat set all engines to about the 
target RPM. When the engine RPMs are 
correct, the Target RPM box will turn green. 
Now, do not change the engine speed. 
Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to 
stabilise, ensuring the Target RPM box stays 
green. Then press 
. Wait while the fuel 
computer records the data.
8   The TRACKER repeats the above step to 
record data up to the maximum RPM. 
Then the TRACKER asks if you want to save 
the curve. Select Yes. The fuel computer 
asks for a name for the curve. Change the 
default name if required. Then press 
The TRACKER stores the new curve.
Note To interrupt making the curve at any time, 
press 
.
10-6-1 Making a fuel consumption curve
To make a fuel consumption curve you will 
need to run the boat in a straight line for about 
15 minutes using the engine’s full RPM range. 
For your first curve, choose a calm day with 
light wind and little current; have a typical load 
and a freshly cleaned hull. Later, you can make 
fuel consumption curves for different boat, 
weather or sea conditions. Compare these 
with your first curve to see how your boat’s 
performance changes with conditions.
Making a curve
1   Start running the boat in a straight line.
2   Choose a speed source for the curve (see 
section 10-5-1). Normally choose Water 
speed to measure the boat’s potential 
performance.
3   Press 
 one or more times to display 
the Setup menu, then select 
Fuel.
4   Select 
Fuel consumption curve, 
then select 
New.
5   Enter the comfortable maximum RPM you 
know you can achieve for the engine rather 
than the maker’s value.
6   The TRACKER then asks you to set the 
minimum RPM. Set the throttle to idle; on a 
multi engine boat set all engines to about 
the same idle RPM. 
10-6 Fuel consumption curves
A fuel consumption curve shows fuel consumption (fuel used per unit of distance travelled) and 
boat speed as a function of engine RPM. Fuel consumption curves require engine RPM, which 
requires SmartCraft or diesel sensors to be installed. Fuel consumption curves are powerful tools 
for assessing boat performance in different conditions and for helping you to run at the most 
economical speed for the conditions.
