Hi Everybody,
I am trying to get a feel for the number of engine hours per year I could expect from my new Hanse 348. Please contact me here or privately. Kind regards Stephen Ward |

That's completely up to how you use your boat. In average I'm adding 100h yearly. I'm located in Sweden and Sail from early May until end of September. Normally we do a 3-4 week trip in the Baltic sea during our vacation (this trip includes getting out of Lake Mälaren, quite often involving motoring for a full day) and shorter weekend sailing.

Speaking of Engine Hours, I have one of the old 2007 Yanmar Panels where the LEDs have gone out. This happened years ago. I would like to know how many hours I have on the engine at this time. Does anyone know how to get the information out of the 3JH6 without replacing the panel?

I've had a reasonable season on my new 418 but with more Motoring than average due to light winds this season and have done about 70 hours or so. We sail around the Solent, S coast, Xchannel generally. My last boat had done around 700 hrs in 13 years but I used to sail up the Hamble and onto my pile mooring so the engine got very little use. I also had a couple of fallow yrs getting divorced / moving house so a more realistic estimate would be 1,000 hrs over the period. She was 31 feet and sailed very well

When I berthed in Gosport I used to average slightly less than 100 hours per year as it was only 400m to the harbour entrance.
For the last 7 years I have berthed in Port Solent which is 3.5 miles from the harbour entrance and my average hours motoring per year has increased to 130 or so. It obviously depends where the boat is moored and how many days you use it per year.

When I twice sailed around UK I found that 30-40% of the time was spent motoring. But that included going through the Calledonian canal. Coastal cruising can involve a lot of motoring in areas with strong currents & tidal gates to be met. Speaking to other sailors going round UK, many agree that this is not unusual. If you are just going out of your marina for a sail around, then you will probably stop the engine soon & not worry if the wind is not what you want. However, If you need to go places & the wind is not playing ball & you are trying to meet deadlines, you will almost certainly want to use the engine more. In 2017, I cruised to Brest from the Thames estuary & only managed 14 hours true sailing due to total lack of, or adverse, wind for 7 weeks. In 2018 I only went as far as the Channel Islands on a 6 week cruise & the motor logged 15 hours. In August this year I went to Ostend & Middleburg & logged 26 hours. I have had my boat since 2003 and the hours are now over 4500 hours. That being said I have had long periods in places like the Dutch canals where the motor gets used a lot. I average at least 12 weeks on the boat every year, plus short local trips

5 seasons; 9,500Nm; 500 engine hours.
I'm always surprised by how many engine hours I do as the sails go up at the first possible opportunity. This season I had a very light wing channel crossing that added 8 or 9 hours. Last season, two full days motoring through the Kiel Canal. I'm also finding that I need to run the engine at anchor to top up the batteries. Stuart

@Mike, you can buy a replacement LCD. It's the same as for Volvo Penta. Just google Yanmar lcd or Volvo Penta LCD. Around 50€. The hours are stored in the tacho so changing the LCD will not reset the history. If you are good at sw and electronics you can build one yourself based on an arduino and oled display for less than half the cost. There are several sites describing how to do this. https://www.delta94.com/arduinooledyanmartachofix
