Will a 4 cyl 4-154 Perkins turn it and the prop simultaneously, or will we
have to wait for the batteries to come up before coming out of neutral on
the tranny??

It will use 3 to 4 hp under load. That should not be a problem if the
Perkins is running OK and you use dual belts.

That's the right unit assuming you can get a mount fabricated and the
Perkins has dual drive sheaves. Nothing less is going to get that
bank of L-16s charged in a reasonable length of time.


Actually a single GearTooth Belt and GearTooth Sheaves can transfer
up to 8 HP with ease.....

You can do 24 HP with an 8 rib micro vee.

But if you have vee belts, it doesn't matter....
