X18 Powerplant
Here is a couple shots of the X powerplant, I redid the plumbing with marine hose prior to installing in boat. Clear lines were for looks while it sat in our showroom.
Still breaking in so performance specs. not avail yet. Should push the 14x18 clever with 1.31 edrive to about 5,600rpm and vessel should go 63-65 assuming about 14% slip. I decided not to go high hp since vessel still has cable steering. We used a 278 crane which has 114 centers, so it does idle at 700rpm which makes for easy docking.
