Kevin

Straight out of the B/W manual: 71C is rated for gas motors at 310 HP at 4200 RPM and diesel at 182 HP and 3200 RPM. 72C is rated at 475 HP and 4200 RPM for gas and 274 HP at 3200 RPM for diesel.

The B/W Velvet drives will turn in either direction as indicated by Ernest. But you can NOT run one of them in reverse. Thus to use these transmissions you MUST have counter rotating motors. If both new engines turn the same direction you will have to have new transmissions.

Kevin, keep thinking and asking questions, you may yet find a way to put diesels in your boat.

Ernest, how is your project coming?

Bill
