Geos,
I got this from Mercury's site:
http://www.mercurymarine.com/serviceand ... n.php#1128
How do I obtain horsepower curves, torque curves, or fuel consumption data?
Horsepower and torque curves are not published because they are considered confidential company information. Fuel consumption data is not published because it is affected by factors beyond our control, such as boat hull type, temperature, humidity, altitude, gear ratios, propeller, etc. In some cases, fuel consumption or other performance data is available from your boat manufacturer for a specific boat/engine combination.
Seems they place the onus on the boat manufacturer to provide that...I alos assume they'll say it depends on the motor etc.....
I hope you find the info you're looking for!

They might have a boat/engine config that you may have or compare it too.
