Thanks again for all your support in achieving this goal of replacing our engine with a brand new 85Hp Turbo Diesel engine from BETA MARINE USA!
The first sea trials went perfectly today, no problems found, and smooth as silk so we spent a couple hours chilling in the beautiful turquoise waters of Haynes Cay here in San Andres, Colombia, before returning to anchor for the first time in over a month!
Thanks again also to Lewmar for helping with our anchor winch replacement, first tests today were wildly successful! (after we remembered to turn the power switch back on!) Lol
Cheers!

Capt. Ron, The visible vibration looking at the engine from the front (pulley side) may very well be normal. I personally do not have ANY experience with BETA 85HP. If you were to send a video clip of the engine running at 1500, 2000 and 2500 RPM to BETA MARINE and get their opinion if it looks OK to them would be a good peace of mind, and good to know. I am sure they have seen that particular model run hundreds of times during their own installations. It would also help to do a video UNDER LOAD and in NEUTRAL and see what they have to say. I am not saying there is anything wrong because I have no personal experience with that particular engine but I have plenty of experience (good and bad) LOL with others. It sounds wonderful.. Sail in good health.

It was a celebration cruise with some of our good friends, and you always keep the sail up in case the motor goes out, so you have a backup means to propel the boat to a safe spot to drop the anchor.
