Is this time on the lake, or time on your engines?
Many people run the engines to get to a spot on the lake, and then spend hours at that spot without the engine running. So engine hours only shows the amount of time moving on the lake.
I have 30 more hours on my generator than on my engines. On hot days, I run the generator when away from the dock to keep the cockpit refidge running and cold (and the ice maker running).
How many sailboats never run their engines?
How many boats don't even have an hour meter, or if they do, perhaps they rarely look at the hour meter? I had to wait until I got my maintenance records together to look at my engine hours and calculate how many hours over last year. Plus I have twin engines, do I get a double count in the engine hours category over those with a single engine?
Or triple, since I can also include generator time?
