I'm looking for feedback on MTU 10v2000 M93 or M94 engines (1599 hp). I rceieved some useful feedback on another thread but it was a more...
Sounds like a good set-up. I'm not sure what tye of 3 strand you use, but from what I've always seen, a double braid has more elongation than 3...
If it were me I would not use 3 strand nylon, I would use a double braid. When tying to a mooring you want lots of elacticity. If the double braid...
Thanks. I've requested some info on those from the seller. Of course I'm always a bit skeptical of why someone would have removed engines that...
Thanks Lew. That helps. I was thinking the strut could be bored for a 3" so thanks for confirming. I hadn't thought about larger raw water intakes...
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.
