Is it possible to cruise with just one engine each time?
Alemao I would recommend to search through this forum on running one engine on a twin screw and ask your mechanic about it too.

I lost one of mine one time and an old fisherman non-licenced diesel mechanic on board strapped the shaft of the dead engine to keep it from rotating while underway.
