I have told the potential installers that I don't wish the AP to be connected with anything else- I don't need to do "S" turns or square patterns...
Do you have a newer unit/system? Do you like it? Please let us know what you think if you have a boat between 40 and 80 feet.
I burn around a hundred an hour at 1800 rpm with twice the engine (16's)- so a good place to start is 50 an hour at cruise between 1750 and 1900....
The bypass turbo has both a spring loaded bypass that allows turbo air to bypass the blower and also a small "scooped out" area next to the bypass...
I spoke with Capt Tom over the years from time to time when I we fish out of Lakeworth inlet. While the boat I drive does have a nice safety...
Same company did both engines, and why they changed IDK. The hard starting is on one side only- stbd. I spoke with a major marine exhaust...
"My" S&S 16-92's (1987, non DDEC, mechanical gov) came with 100% (non by-pass) superchargers (aka blowers) when the boat (65 sportfish) was new....

While I'm headed to Shini tomorrow, it's in my MB diesel wagon not the Sea Deuce. She's not going there anytime soon unless it's an emergency.
3 knots tops there- but it does feel like 7. It is one of the tougher marinas to pull into- but then so is Sailfish Marina on singer island FL my...
I drive to and from fuel docks alone on the 65 Donzi without issues. I set up the lines in advance and can get from the helm to the bowlines in...
You run up and down the coast in a 70 footer alone? If you have a stroke/heart attack/ or fall and get knocked out what happens?
3208TA 375 HP are good engines. Cheap to work on and new ones are cheaper also. Volvos are also good- but tend to leak oil. DD leak oil but if...
Not nearly as many good MAN service companies as MTU or CAT.
