Skip,
As an engine professional for many decades I can tell you that all you need is the two published numbers I hope are in the engines specifications. That would be the torque peak and speed and the horsepower peak and speed. For a naturally aspirated diesel this is very close to what a dyno test would give you. Turn the HP back into torque (rev*tor/5252=hp)_ and plot it out as two straight lines (it isn't, but it won't matter much). If I can find it and you are interested, I could try to post the one page explaination of this. Ta Da - power curve Matt Colie - still trying to get out of Detroit and back to tidal water after 30+ years. Skip Gundlach wrote: Hi, y'all... Back on the boat and about to pull the shaft and tranny to true the shaft and plates and, perhaps, redo the MaxProp settings. However, before I can do the calculations, though I have the pdf of both the parts and manuals, I can't find anything about the power curve. Does anyone have them/know what they are, and willing to share? Thanks.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |
