That's what I figured, I'm just confirming. Did you have 2.5" originally and went up to 3" ? If so, do you recall if you were able to use the...
Thanks for all the great info. I am aware the taper is the weak spot so that's why I assumed the splines would be here. I'm looking at diesels...
So the splines replace the taper?
Yes- E rating or recreational/pleasure
Thank you for the info. That helps a lot.
I'm researching repower options and a little conflicted on shaft rating. I have 2.5" Aquamet 22 shafts. I was previously under the impression they...
I don't believe the model 12v2000's that you used are available any more. I would likely have to find a used set.
Yes. When. I had my 39' boat I was able to use a small lunch hook and pulled it with a buoy. But now I use (and need) a 75# anchor and with 100#'s...
I'm not really considering the 8v's. If I decide to stay with same hp I will almost certainly go with the CATs. Capt J I did do some quick looking...
The pot puller I got is for retrieving crab and shrimp pots. It is a Safe-T-Puller semi commercial unit rated for 300#'s. 110' per minute I...
Thanks Donzi 54 I have had an ongoing dialogue with Donzi 54 to get all of the info from his repower. He has been most helpful. His 12v2000's are...
Thanks for the input Capt J. The C-32's would be great from a hp and reliability standpoint but they are just too big. They would be 11" longer,...
Looking great! I can't believe nobody is buying this at your asking price. I paid a bit less for my 54' but it wasn't in nearly the condition of...
I'm not certain about the current HP rating as the spec sheets I have are two years old. I know of another 54' Donzi that was repowered back in...
Thanks for all the input. I'll continue researching. I'm not in a hurry so want to take my time and do this right the first time.
There are so few MANs in the Pacific NW and even fewer in Alaska service and parts are hard to come by. I have business relationships with the...
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I'll do some research and see what I can find. Any suggestions for other engines to consider as a...
Can you expand a bit on what issues you have heard about with the MTU's? Thanks.
Thanks for the input. Curious how you figure a 4-5 knot speed increase with almost 20% less hp? Yes, the C-18 is a more true hp than the Detriots...
The C-18 is a great engine but if I'm going to go to the trouble and expense of doing the Repower it is also for a HP increase and speed...
