yet you get a lot of soot on the transom ? Black smoke on acceleration, how quickly (how many seconds) do you take to go from 1000 to say...
Spin up time is often mentioned as a downside of gyros but in the real world does anyone really hop on, gets under way and reach rough water...
When you get into the “slightly” range it s all very subjective. The only way to get a valid result would be to have two identical boats, anchored...
There is reason maintenance intervals are given by hours or gallons burned which ever comes first on many motors. The faster you go, the more fuel...

Best case scenario, they take twice the space. If installed in the forward section of a boat, switching to a vented combo yield a ton of volume...
modern motoryachts have the same issue. Very few have enough natural ventilation.
I can not imagine the roller and setup to be too weak to handle a 110 pound anchor. Under way there should be a chain lock or some way to secure...
It s been blowing 20/25 here in the Exumas for the last week. Finally eased up yesterday. I was close to shore (200’) at Bog Majors (Staniel)...
