CS34 Engine Hours and Fuel Consumption

Putting the boat to bed for 2022, I try to remember to record the engine hours each year.

Here are the engine hours when we got the boat in 2012:

637.8 hours

So that is an average of ~30 hours over 22 years for the previous owners.

Here are the engine hours after launch this year:

1046.2 hours

So that  is 508.4 hours in 10 years, an average of ~50 hours per year. 

Hour meter after haulout:

1211.3 hours

So we have put 65.1 hours on the motor this season.

We tried to sail as much as we could, but there were many windless days.
With the deliveries to/from Trident, we did a lot of motor sailing in light winds.
The trip back from Mimico was a motor all the way.

When at anchor, we would run the motor every couple of days for an hour to charge the house batteries.

The Yanmar 2GM20F diesel engine has been reliable.
It has not burned or leaked any oil.

Yesterday I filled the diesel tank:

Gauge showing full on fuel tank in starboard lazerette

Took 80L (qty 4 20L gerry cans).
That is about $200 of diesel @$2.21 per litre.

I did fill the tank this year at TrentPort marina for like $100 (40L).

So that is about 120L of diesel for the season.

So Still Time burns about 2L of diesel per hour.

The fuel tank is approximately 100L.
