Capt J, good to know if considering a boat with MTU S60's. All I have heard about MTU is big $$ for parts and service, so like many have avoided...
Wow, a lot of current draw at 12 volts. So, any S60 should be 24 volt dc and a later version. Did read they made over a million of the...
I would carry them if traveling out of the US and if cruising shallow waters.
Happened to see this http://www.**************/boats/2003/Ocean-Yachts-Odyssey-2991829/Stuart/FL/United-States#.WeyPILpFzMQ powered by 8v2000...
Yeah, where were the spotters and trained radar tech's "on both ship's". Kinda scary being in in a shipping lane nowadays with these frequent...

Most of us have probably operate as a one handed crew many times...
