    Would anybody be able to give me some estimated fuel usage figures for the below settings using MTU series 2000 V16 1800 Hp engines running in a 72 foot sports fisher.

    Low idle 530 RPM …. 5,4 Knots

    730 RPM ……………. 7,4 Knots

    800 RPM ……………. 8,0 Knots

    900 RPM ……………. 9,0 Knots

    At 1000 RPM it reportedly burns 21 gal per hour at 10.5 Knots
    Thanks Tom

    The fuel usage is high at 1000 rpms......I'm thinking more like 45gph. It's been a while since I ran 16v2000's at those speeds. Low idle should be around 10 gph (both engines) normal idle 16gph. 800rpm's 28 gph, 900 rpm's 35gph. These are just guesses from memory. These are for the 2000hp version.

    Hi Capt J
    Sorry about that it's 80 liters an hour = 21 gallons- sounds better
