Cruising on one engine


From Pt Severn to Simcoe my 3807 drank a lot of fuel. While out playing around today I tried something. Cruising at 2200rpm I was moving along at 8 knots. I scaled back one engine to neutral and only list 1.3 knots in speed. On long voyages, I'm considering running on one engine only - alternating periodically between the two. Is there any harm in this?

Thanks
