Randy.
Fuel in equals horsepower out.
If it takes 60 HP to drive your trawler at hull speed, one engine will give
X gph. Twins SHOULD give 30 HP each , so half-X GPH each, plus the driveline
and other mechanical losses of the "extra" engine.But that's theory!!
I'm yet to see a twin installation that's anywhere near as economical as a
single, in the real (not theoretical) world.
Cheers
Glenn.
