Small yanmar guestimate of 1/2 gallon an hour, make maybe 5 knots...mmmmm
lets see 12 gallons good for 24 hrs, about 120 NM range....
I think you can go 8 hours and maybe 50 miles if not too much bad stuff
happens....thats how I would figure it and then maybe you can get back where
you started.

Sounds good. I'd rather not carry extra fuel, but I do have a pair of
3 gallon jugs that are compact size.

Depends on your speed. If you motor at 5 kts., you need enough fuel
for about 20 hours of motoring. I use about one gal. per hour. So
I'd need another 8 gals.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Like to maintain a 4.5 avg. speed. Isn't one gal/hr. rather high?
