My Volvo never got to maximum rpm until I re-propped, but after re-propping with a prop that was sized and pitched according to a prop shop in Norfolk, it did 7.5 kts at 2800rpm on flat water. With

Alexandre You are right but why only 2200 on ful max Speed i go with 2800 and flat water with 8.4 kn with Perkins 80hp Every wake will change the Speed Look in the Forum Bill from Bebe explain all

I share your sentiment. Same experience. Cheers, Veit SM215 ATMAN Sent from my vm iPad

Frankly, I am at a loss as to why a person would change an engine in the first place. We have the Perkins TMD 22A Turbo and it runs like a gem. I can still reach the hull speed of over 8 knots and I

We have 110hp Ynamar and I think you have a bit more power in reserve when the going gets tough. Probably not much difference in flat water. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Hallo Hanspeter, I have only own my SM2K since 2012, so my experience is limited. I have the Volvo TMD 22 P (same as Perkins M80T) which is rated for 78HP at 4500 RPM Until 2 months ago, I was only

Hi again Wolfgang, the FURUNO pilot you have, with L&S hydraulic pump and strut is a very reliable system. If you want better, you should have a full second one installed. Although I never tested it,

Hi Wolfgang, you must have used your bow-thruster a lot! It usually stops after 3 minutes of use (like 18 times 10 seconds). Making a way to ventilate the bow-thruster will not change much about motor

Thanks Derrick...will do. Steve Aloha SM72

Steve, If you have followed Kent's saga, you are probably already aware that new engines installed on Amel boats need to be isolated from DC ground. That means you will want to transfer to your new

Can't wait to see the before and after. I really understand the delay issue. Steve

Yep....Yanmar 80 turbo. We are trying to sort out the 2 alternator option, and then get the engine to the yard in St Augustine. With a little luck, we will get North by late July or early August. You

Wise choice Steve.. JPG

Hi Steve and Liz, We are in Goček Turkey, tolerating the delays... We are preparing a before and after document for interested viewers. I will send you the link soon. Cheers

I'll be late getting there, too, Steve. Going to get the electrical problems solved before I go North again. Still hope to be Cape Cod area by midJuly. I think you're making the right decision about

Thanks Kent. We have decided to go with the 80hp, as I just don't want to risk CDrive issues. I hope you have your electrical gremlins sorted soon, and are back on the water. We still hope to see you

Thanks Jean-Pierrre. I'd love to have a simple normally aspirated engine, but we don't seem to have many non turbo options. John Deere makes an 80hp, but I need to check on fitment issues. How is you
