我们关掉了发动机，用帆航行以节省燃料。

We used sail power and turned the engine off to save our fuel.

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

例如，如果装了一台很大的舷外发动机，船只可能会因其重量而变得不平衡，尾部偏重，用俗话说倾向于在水中“蹲着”，而影响航行。

With a very large outboard motor, for example, the boat may be imbalanced by having that weight far astern and may "squat" in the water and not sail as well.
