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