Hi
My experience over the past 3 plus years with our Endeavor 44 has
been that we burn about 3 to3.5 gph at 1750 rpm, making 7.5 to 8 knots.
Cruising on plane at 3100 rpm, making 15 to 16 knots, we burn about 14
gph. I never figured out how much she burns at 3500 and 20 to 21 knots.
On a voyage from St. Petersburg, FL to Newport, RI I divided the gallons
used by the engine hours run and came up with an average of about 10.5
gph for the whole trip. We have a pair of  4 cylinder Yanmar 240 turbo
diesels. For a 44 footer with our speed, I was more than satisfied with
her fuel economy. - Ron Zeppieri, OdySea, Endeavour 44 Trawler Cat

Ron:

My experience with our Endeavour 44 Trawlercat - Fanta Sea - we used 2.5 gallons per hour running one engine at a time at 1800 to 1900 rpm's. Speed is about 7.5 to 8 knots depending on sea state.  We switch engines every 2 hours. Docking, locks, tight places and rough seas we go to two engines.
We haven't checked fuel consumption at 15 to 16 knots.  Don't run this unless bad weather is coming in.

Regards,

Dan

Hi Ron.

Do you "free wheel" the other engine or do you have a CPP?
Cheers.

Jean Pierre.
