Albin 43' fuel useage

[moonchaser]

I am considering an Albin 43' Trawler with twin Lehman 120 hp engines & would like to get some idea of the expected fuel consumption when cruising at 5-7 knots. Further, I am wondering if running on one engine at a time is advisable & if that would boost the fuel economy? Jim

I have a 43 albin sundeck. I use about 3 gal / hr. Using one engine to my knowledge is not more economical. Mine is also listed with kijiji Halifax if you want to see it.

40n Albin. Single engine. 1.5 to 2 gal per hour at 6.5 to 7 knots.

I'm also very interested in RPM setting for the 120hp Lehmans.

I have read that max rpm for those motors is 2500 so 75% power would be 1850rpm We've run ours 1800 and got around 7.5knots all day. Just had the bottom clean so maybe we can pick up a half KT...

Any input on RPM would be appreciated-

That's about where I run my 120 Lehman....1700 to 1800 or so.

Depends on which tach I use Last season my flybridge tach was 2000 rpm higher than the inside one. Had me running slower for awhile until I got my phototach and learned that the inside one was accurate; looks like it's time to adjust or replace the outside one.
