[PSUBS-MAILIST] alec smyth--mk 101 question

[vbra676539@aol.com]

Alec,

What amperage difference did you see, if any, after filling the 101s with oil? The factory says 60 amp breakers, but my local guy is using 40s for the motors, plus the rest of a flats skiff's electrical system. Is that going to be enough? I'm about ready to plunk down for some penetrators, too. The motors use 10 gauge wire, and I'm going to contact Impulse to see what's what price wise. Any suggestions?

I'll be running four fixed thrusters, two aft on either side of the fairwater tank, vectored at 30 degrees toward each other, and two more just forward of the conning tower at forty-five degrees for vertical and lateral. It works for Phil, so I'm hoping it will for me, too. I'll let you know. Any suggestions on the penetrators? I've been out of that market for awhile, so having some idea of current pricing will help. If you did it cheaper, then count me in.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Vance
