They're high RPM motors (2800 WOT), similar to yanmars. Most of the boats I've run with them over the years have been Sportfish.....a 38' Bertram...
Their cooling systems are marginal (at least in the tropic climates), so you have to clean all of the heat exchangers every 2 years or so....
AGM's aren't that much more than flooded lead acid, and think of how much time you spend adding water to the batteries over their 3 year lifespan....

Are your current turbo's not rebuildable? That would be your best bet. Finding 396 parts is incredibly difficult.
11.8 volts is pretty much dead. You need to take a volt meter and see what both batteries are reading in Volts. First with the charger off....
40 knots will do that to a boat when you hit a buoy......
The Poster specifically asked me and specifically asked about 12v71 TI's in an 80' Hatteras. So If anyone is assuming way too many things, it is...
Personal experience with multiple Splendides over the years.
I would take Bertram out of your analogy. I've never felt like I was going to fall through the deck on the front deck, flybridge and cockpit like...
LOLOLOLOL I saw that very same boat like that several years back when I was running a yacht from Corpus Christi to Fort Laud....it was in Alabama.
I know of one in Lauderdale By The Sea. Tall pilings and only a 30' dock, has 2 cleats on the seawall on both sides of the dock, owner had a 63'...
First off, your graph and numbers are for 12v71 TA's which is not what the OP is talking about. The OP is talking about 12v71 TI's. Secondly...
The vented models take 4-4.5 hours for a load of 4 XL t-shirts and they're still somewhat damp at the end of 4.5 hours from what I've found with...
That is not true. I have over 10,000 NM's with a Hatteras that is a sistership to the one mentioned a 75' which hull speed was 10.3, hull speed on...
I've gotten to where I prefer the lower station on long ocean trips of 6+ hours at cruise.....less movement.....restroom is closer.....a/c, no...
Pacblue you have obviously never Captained an 80' Hatteras MY from that era. In any kind of sea above flat calm....running that boat on one...
Run this scenario by the Detroit Diesel dealer and they will tell you the exact same thing. Actually they'll say detroits were designed to be run...
LG and Splendid (mostly seen on yachts) make all in ones. This is a very bad idea. If you have 2 all in ones in dry mode, you will probably use...
Any marine engine should be propped to achieve WOT RPMs fully loaded. Running an engine in a manner where WOT does not achieve WOT rpm's it is...
