Here's a look at where you where at and going forward: Original Installation with 12V-92TA's: [ATTACH] CAT C-18 with ZF 665-A gear and 1.757...
You may have to consider bumping the ratio near the 2.0 range to get a standard (and readily available) gear. Better case for overall performance,...
Now that’s stepping up!
The short answer is you will have to wait and see and it depends on the condition and material of your existing propeller. When it gets hauled let...
The 1.757 gear is better as noted but puts you in a slight dilemma as the safety factor for the AQ 22, 2.5” shaft falls below the industry...
Smart move, just call and ask for customer service.
The NTSB is meeting with each crew member collecting statements/information, details are hard to come by at the moment , maybe start to get some...
I think you really have two choices, the Sturdy/CAT setup or the ZF gear setup. These are all OEM supply. I personally prefer to stick with the...

No I wasn’t but there is that crowd who likes that configuration, living mainly inside with the AC cranked to refrigeration levels. Captain and...
And when you run the boat with husband and wife in a Hatteras wide body salon WITHOUT sidecks, you have to go through the Pilothouse, the galley...
True on the metallurgy, Veem uses a higher amount of virgin copper than others due to being near the source in Australia. Not so true on...
And you missed the “without side decks” part? That nice feature that brings that ventilation to your aft deck?
What’s to disagree, I love the walk around side deck / aft deck combo, not a fan of a wide body with no side deck?
Great, looking forward to the repower. Have you settle on a gear ratio yet?
You will find the east coast boaters are more inclined for a Captain/owner setup. It is a bit of a bias but you have to understand the factors. I...
