So in the event, Scott from Barrus hand delivered AND fitted the 28" pitch Bravos. A quick test later and all is good - they are just managing to exceed 3800rpm but as the rig gets heavier as crap...

Not intending to "blow smoke up your @$$", Cookee, but I reckon you know more about props than Barrus. That said, Scott has said he will send us a 28" pitch set of Bravo IIIs so I'll get those on...

Brutal lag on the 6LP that I tried previously in a fairly similar boat (same hull, a bit lighter). It was all or nothing and a b@st@rd to get out of the hole - she just couldn't get spun up enough...

The 8-LV is sweet. It's quiet and pulls like a train. I don't notice any appreciable turbo lag and the useful torque range seems very wide. Compared to the Yanmar 6LP it's a pleasant surprise. ...

Thanks Cookee - I'll have a play with that calculator. I might be able to get my hands on a loaner set of 28" for a play. I realise that the increased pitch will slow the time to plane. I was...

The boat is now afloat and I have some information and a few questions.

That's very impressive. I don't have much faith in fuel gauges so had specced a "dippable" tank and a basic WEMA gauge to point to when crew ask "Have we enough fuel?" ;)

Thanks Cookee - that's what I was looking for. Interesting about the fuel usage - I wasn't expecting that on a diesel. How does the engine monitor/measure fuel usage?

Thanks for that Cookee. It is a relief to know that the linkup is painfree, I've heard sooo many stories about simple connections that weren't. I see from your website that you are going to...
