      April 27, 2019 at 11:31 am Right now I have a 35 T Jason commercial lobster boat that is powered with a bf6m 1015 Deutz rated at 443 HP. I have a 2” shaft swinging a 28×34 wheel. I have a zf 325 2:1 gear. I am looking into a QSC 8.3 500. My Deutz is a 2100 rpm engine. Would I be able to keep my zf 325 at 2:1? The gear is only 2 years old with less than 2k hours on it.

      April 28, 2019 at 7:19 pm Thank you Tony! Fuel burn is not a concern. My concern was unfamiliarity with what the engine can handle, as it came in the boat when I bought it. Also not much support in this area. Most of the day is spends at idle hauling gear, and my runs are only 15-20 minutes average at cruise speed. Once Iā€™m where Iā€™m hauling gear i donā€™t hit cruise speed very often. I will run her a little harder and see where it brings me. Thank you for your help!
