Hi All,
I am about to do a 300nm voyage in a twin 454 V drive sports cruiser and I am trying to conserve as much fuel as possible to reduce the expense. This is a boat relocation trip and not a holiday as such.
So for those that have done this sort of trip have you ever shut one engine down and just slow motored on the other?
I will be doing this from the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia down to Port Stephens in NSW, Australia. I also hope to be able to use the EAC to make a few knots for free.
I would always have the option of reverting back to both engines if I needed to run for safe harbour due to inclement weather.
