I was really hoping to keep the 2.5". I'm currently exploring 1.525:1, 1.757:1 or 1.9:1. I realize the 1.9:1 is probably best option but I'm...
Have you called Hynautic to see if they offer something? Not yet. I'm still trying to sort out gear ratio issues with ZF. I no sooner think it is...
I need power steering even if I'm only running one engine. I do long hours of slow speed trolling on one engine only. I wouldn't want to have all...
Thanks for all the great input.
The C18’s are approx. 1” shorter than the 12v92’s
I wish you had photos too! :) If memory serves you went to bigger engines. The C18's are near identical to the 12v92's, actually a smidge...
My lead guy has been doing detailed layout and mock up the last few days. The good news is the holes in the deck/engine room ovhd will not need to...
Can I not simply add some pitch to existing props? It seems like not much change from 1.66 to 1.757 but maybe I'm underestimating. No, I'm not...
I'm starting a new thread to cover the Repower of my 1994 54' Donzi (by Rosciolli) Sportfish. Today I formally placed the order for CAT C18 ACERT...
I spoke to soon on going with the 1.525:1 gear ratio. Upon closer investigation discovered the existing gears are 1.66:1 (not 1.60 as thought). So...
That's a perspective on 1(ea) 20kw and 1(ea) 9 kw that I hadn't considered. I will have to give this some more thought. I don't have room for...
I'm partial to Northern Lights. I've heard nothing but good things about them. My current set-up is a 20kw and an 8 kw. The 8kw meets most of the...
I'm repowering for the reasons mentioned. Difficulty in finding parts and service, especially for the DDEC electronics. I like the idea of getting...
What do you like about the Sturdy controls? You bring up a good point that I need to look at all the options out there. I should look at Sturdy,...
I have not looked at those or any others for that matter.
I'm getting ready to start a repower of my 54' Donzi (details covered in another thread). I'm going with CAT C-18's and ZF665-A gears. I've been...
I'm going with the ZF 665-A with 1.525:1 ratio. This is the closest ratio I can get to my current 1.6:1. I'm told at WOT at 2300 rpm the shaft...
So I have decided to move forward with the repower project. I'm finalizing some details with CAT but I'm going with the C-18's at 1150 hp (1136...
I met with CAT last week. They are working up a proposal. More when I get something..........
You are correct and I was mistaken on gear ratio. The existing gears are 1.6:1. The gears are badged Detriot then have a Twin Disc model number....
