What kind of fuel consumption do you get with the D6 310's, and how noisy, smelly, are they? tx. gram. Gram, We get from memory I think around 50-60 litres/hr (total consumpt.) at say 15 knots depending on bottom condition. We have the Volvo NMEA 2000 interface linked up to the Raymarine plotters and this is what this says. Incidentally the NMEA link is great as you get then full engine monitoring up on flybridge. Max range at this speed then with 1600 litres of fuel something like 450 miles. In terms of noise they are fine - in fact up on flybridge sometimes not sure if they are running as there is very little vibration or noise. This took me some time to get used to after my previous Princess 40' cruiser when I could listen to engine revs when mooring up. No smells really unless you are downwind of exhaust. Incidentally one thing that really annoyed me with the Princess (Volvo KAD44's) with exhausts on the side of the hull was the extensive black film that built up around both rear quaters of the hull. With the Cumberlands transom outlets don't have any black film at all. Guess the D6's run cleaner than KAD44's though that probably helps as well. Hope this helps.
