Doug, I assume you went with the 315s and the props we disccussed? I am wondering what you did with the exaust set up? Congrats it only gets better!

yes 315s and 21x22 4 blade props. Exhaust 5 inch straight out the back, velocijet ports glassed over. I believe you have 21x21, I went with the same as Al from Mattapoisett boat yard has on his 33 Sportfish. I am WOT at 3800 so your size might be a tad better match. I may end up tweaking the props over the winter. I did put the Yanmar gauges in the Bertram panel as you recommended, and it looks quite nice.

Congratulations on your repower! Welcome to the diesel world. I continue to be amazed by the Yanmars' performance. I, likewise, may still need to tweak my props this winter, we'll see. Brian '90 Bertram 33' FBC Never Say Never Guilford, CT (Homeport) Kinnelon, NJ (Home)
