I know the captain who pilots one of the local large steel-hulled tour
boats. Twin diesels. He runs on one engine at a time. Monday, port
engine, Tuesday, starboard engine, et cetera. I noticed this about a
year ago the first time, after he invited me into the pilot house and I
saw that one of the tachs was pegged at zero the entire trip.

Makes sense. I guess. Works for him anyway.
