I admit, 50 whp is probably a bit high. Supposedly these things have about 90 whp max. I figure at 3k rpm about 50% of that is available if not more. At 70, it doesn't have much power in reserve. Not much at all. It's slow. So yeah, probably 25 to 30 nominal.
Okay, fine. You've convinced me that alternator loads are relevant. Crap. Looks like there'll be grease under my nails for some time to come. Time to look for deep cycle batteries. Can't yall wait until I finish my current projects before giving me more? I live far away from my junkyard and facility resouces so getting stuff done in the driveway takes forever...
Anybody got a manual PS box?
