I have been having a hard time with fuel conservation,but I'm doing much better now thank to a lot of help from other skippers.I use the Strict range mod,and this gives me nine knots at ahead standard,and it is the most efficient speed for mileage.I try to stay on the surface as much as possible,with battery charging off when applicable.My greatest wish would be that we skippers could determine the number of engines we wished to run on,and charge batteries.I'm pretty sure I read where skippers would run on only one engine to conserve fuel.Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.I know running with two engines for propulsion,and charging with two was S.O.P.Maybe a mod like I mentioned isn't out of the question.I thank all the people that gave me a hand with using fuel more frugally.
