Memories of this time last year, when my Birchwood 27 did 20 knots with only a single Merc 120 diesel installed. Only 4 knots slower than it did with twin 120 petrols.

Congratulations!

Hi

It is exciting. I have just converted as well it means more and longer trips. I have got two 4 cylinder diesels and get a lot of vibration at low speeds - do you get much vibration from the v8?

<hr width=100% size=1>No! No! - I mean the other Starboard

 

[cjrvernon]

no i dont get any vibration
she seems as smooth as the petrol did im really pleased

What's the noise levels like on the GM V8? I had an old GM engine years ago and it was horrendous.

[cjrvernon]

hi the engine is only a little bit louder than the petrol
but im amazed how quite she is

the boat next to me has the same engine but older and he says mine is a lot quiter than his

so sounds like they have improved

cheers

I've just finished installing a 6 cyl diesel and new Bravo 3 drive.
Took the trouble to put some more soundproofing in whilst I had room - ie whilst the engine was out.
Now quieter than the V8 petrol!

I would have been back on the water 3 months ago if I hadn't needed to replace the transom whilst I was at it (it was rotten, nasty shock)
