Boat Towing Gas Savers: It’s important to keep the rig rolling down the road. Small things I do that can help keep a couple dollars in my pocket.
You hear it all the time to check your tire pressure.
But make Sure and Check the SPARE on both the tow and boat!!
I run my tires close to Max. rated pressure. This gains me a few dollars at the pump…but can cause them to wear out faster! So Don’t over do it!
50-55 lbs is normally recommended
Don’t fill the boat up with fuel until you get to where you are going!!
You don’t want to haul all that weight in fuel if it’s a long drive. Plus the fuel found around major lakes usually is better marine quality without ethanol in it.
Always tow your boat with the cover on.
Virtually all boat covers create more drag than the benefit of a slipstream. Keep it in the back of the truck and put it on when you get to the hotel, might just save you a few dollars for a new NRX.
