Thanks! TAMD41-D turns exactly 3800 at WOT with 20x18 and a fairly clean hull. Boat came w/o Camano manual, but with all component manuals. Problem is that my cabin helm 12 year old Raymarine C-80 goes dark when battery voltage drops to around 13.65, while shore charge brings battery charge up to 14.5v, at which C-80 works fine. So, I've figured that the problem is the C-80. Mechanic tested alternator and house and start batteries, pronounced all good. Your feedback adds to that conclusion - it's the old C-80. My car and truck run up to 14.7 after long period without running, ease over next 30 minutes. C-80 and old 4,000 watt radar are reasons I'm looking at new tech, including safer 40 watt pulse radar. Hate to replace all electronics, but in my planned ownership cycle - probably 12 years, now is actually a good time. I do have the lower fixed helm seat, love it, retreat from sun/glare, steadier in rough water, better access to my paper charts (overkill to back up i-pad and MFDs? Guilty.....) RI - so beautiful! So many interesting harbors and vessels up there!
