Hello chaps,
Firstly thanks for all of your help with my queries over the last week, New to Ribs and the help has been fantastic, Ta
Couple of queries !! I have a patch to put on a small leak and have cut a piece of material to fit, I wondered if the corners of the patches should be rounded off rather than leaving them as a corner ?
Last one ish (today) ha ha is I have a 15hp Johnson 2 stroke, late 1990's. I wondered what sort of consumption I should expect with a mix of planing/pottering ? Also not sure what size fuel tank to get as yet ? Prob be as small as practical as I would like to keep weight down.
All the best, Colin.

I would say yes round the corners - less likely to catch.

Fuel consumption is generally 1/3 of the HP at Wide Open Throttle WOT per hour - so 5l/hour in your case, slightly less for a 4 stroke or if not at WOT.
