    Expediter Running on 2

    As Mark said in his post, we lost the center motor 35 miles off shore on the way out the other day, decided to run and fish. This is a SHAKY video of us running Back on 2. 43-45mph 4800 turns. Also we dont have the ability to trim the dead motor out of the water because of our stearing system so were also draging the dead one. Ended up being a split vertical Shaft so it was a cheap repair.

    6200 on the 25 in shafts and 5850 on the 30 in shafts. I think on the 20in shafts they set the limiter at 6750
