The 8V-92TI’s should top out at 2350 rpm when properly loaded. Best cruise should be at 1950 rpm, anything more it cuts down on engine life. Your...
I related to you my real life experience outside of tank testing or theoretical calculations. The 4 degrees i have given you is a good number,...
You can’t tell me that the optimum trim angle continuously increases with an increase in deadrise, are you saying that a 24 degree deadrise has an...
Agree, if I had to pick a single number, 4 degrees would be my choice based on a number of boat tests, even up to 20 degrees deadrise.
I said to go in 1/8” increments if you are uncomfortable in the approach, then it becomes a trial an error process. Not for aluminum plate...

Glad to hear you have found your boat. We had a 1978 42’ Uniflite SF with 6-71N’s for a number of years and know the 42’ hull well. It was about a...
MTU America has the product rights to the Detroit Diesel Marine 2 cycle product. Google them and ask for the information there.
Hope all has gone well for you did you ever make a decision on this project?
Lots of good info. I would weight warranty time more than hours, you typically would not be putting 1,000 hours per year on a recreational vessel?
The recreational and commercial marine business is going full tilt at the moment for many suppliers. I am not surprised you have not heard back...
Well, now you have 2 nearly identical physical solutions with a dry and wet exhaust manifold configuration. I think the dry and wet turbo is...
