My guess is this 4900 would lock up most of the sailboat auxiliaries in service. G Just not enough horses. Takes a tad of torque to turn that puppy over. Lew |

Takes a tad of torque to turn that puppy over. ==== Enough to make a Detroit 6-71 grunt for a split second when you switch on the big house bank. :-) I think you could drive one with a 40 or 50 horse aux if you had some sort of "soft start" regulator arrangement. The key is to have double or triple drive belts which most small engines are not equipped for. Another issue is the alternator mount and adjusting arm, both of which need to be quite rugged. |
