Bill,

Not trying to bump your wagon but counting sleeping time and shore or
fishing time vs ( for my 18hp Univ fuel consumption---1qt/hr) you'd be
somewhere around 50%.with that 3Gal.

Now, Nutsy sitting in his "Slip" at his Nav Station, writing post the
ASA would be consuming 0%. Throw in a trip to Oyster Bay and back could
motor one way and could use less than you (% wise)

That is why our vessels are called Aux.

OT

Thom,

Dourinal says the figure for engine run time while cruising is
typically 85%. Do you feel 85% is the same or even close to your
(miscalculated) figure of 50%, If so, I would like to start sending
you 50 dollar bank drafts in exchange for $85 bank drafts. Perhaps 24
per day?

A day has 24 hours. 8.5 days is 204 hours. If you want to include all
those hours, that's fine, but even so, try the math again. If you use
1 quart an hour, 3 gallons would be 12 hours run time. 12 is NOT 50%
of 204. It is more like 6%

Meanwhile, my less efficient gas outboard uses closer to .5 gal per
hour, but I do not count time stopped - just travel time. I still
don't come anywhere near 50%, much less 85%. My 3 gallons represents 6
hours of run time. I don't have the log with me, but my travel time
for the period was probably around 50 - 60 hours. That puts me
somewhere down around 10 to 12%. If I counted all 204 hours, as you
do, my percentage of run time drops to 3%.

I used 425 gallons this year, 99% was motor sailing. I top off twice
to 3 times a year somewhere around 1000 gallons a year.


Well, unlike Scotty Potty you at least honest. I wonder how much Spirt burns on
his ferry trips.

Are you suggesting Oz's wife has marital thrombosis?

No, least not till I find out what that is.

Well, it's whole lot better than having crypt orchids.....

We are not discussing brylcreem

They still make that stuff?

Scotty hoards it.

Come to think of it...isn't that what they fry Krispee Creme donuts in? or
is it the filling?

Good gravy...we only use 600 gallons wrth to heat our 2400 sq ft
house....per year....with bitter cold weather....Sure takes a lot of diesel
to warm up that steel boat!
