So I bought this Bering 70 and to be honest it has a few kinks in it I need to work out. Has two QSB 6.7 engines and at speed when it’s brought into reverse it can kill the engines. I think it’s over-propped. At 8 knots the mains are running at 1100rpm’s which seems low to me. My thought...

Hi there - VERY interested in your setup as I would like to do the same - biggest downside I’ve heard regarding this sort of PTO High amperage DC Alternator output is belt slippage - I must confess I’m not great mechanically I just had the idea - what pulley / belt system did you use to avoid...

Thanks!

Greetings: I am under contract to purchase a 75ton displacement trawler. I have three decades of experience piloting planing vessels but have never piloted a displacement vessel before. During my sea trial my path looked like a snake, I couldn't get a handle on turning the rudder, how long...
