I also use about 3/4 gph running 5-6 knots at 2000 rpm (or sometimes slightly less depending on the chop and wind conditions).
I am running the original Universal M35 but, despite high mileage, it has been maintained well and runs efficiently. I have a 2 blade, feathering Max Prop. Just as an aside, if the wind is pretty brisk and you can expect to be heeling at 20 degrees, and you should expect that if you have sails up and little crew, You should make sure you have more than 1/4 tank of fuel if you will be motorsailing (running the engine while sailing). If the fuel gets too low you run the risk of getting air in your fuel line when heeled and the engine could be impossible to restart until the system is bled. You can always remove and filter any fuel left in your tanks before you service them and re-add the fuel. Tracy Hirsh SV Ogopogo C&C 37+ CB Fairhope AL
