I have a Yanmar 2GM with a 14 x 11 prop - Bit over powered but:
Full power at 7knts it uses 1.7 litres per hour
Cruising at 5 kts circa 2000 rpm it uses about .75 litre per hour
We cruise most of the time at 5 - 6 kts with ease. Recently came from
Alderney back to the needles, motoring into a nasty head wind the whole way
- Time taken 10hrs exactly - Distance just over 60 NM
