The Bénéteau Antares 805 is a versatile pleasure boat, ideal for fishing outings and short coastal cruises. It can comfortably accommodate 4 to 5 people and is appreciated for its ease of maintenance with convenient access to the engine compartment.
The Bénéteau Antares 805 can be powered with twin-engine configurations, including 80 HP Yanmar engines, or single-engine with a Volvo engine from 160 to 200 HP, offering varied performance according to the needs of boaters.
Twin engines offer increased safety at sea but require more frequent maintenance and are less economical. Single engines, on the other hand, simplify maintenance and consumption but present a higher risk in case of failure.
Regular engine maintenance is crucial. It includes descaling the heat exchangers, cleaning the turbines and water pumps, and checking peripheral components. Reconditioning is often recommended for older engines.
For a 200 HP diesel engine, fuel consumption can reach around 40 L/h at full load. With regular use and proper maintenance, consumption figures vary depending on conditions and equipment, generally around 10-15 L/h cruising.
