I have a stock 225 Super Mag except the limiter has been raised to 7,600 RPMs. It is on an XB2003. Right now in cool weather it turns an offshore cut chopper 7,250 RPMs at 93.95 MPH loaded to fish with one man. I am 63 and don't fish all day anymore, so battery charge isn't as big a problem as it once was.
I used to drag race 2.5 motors on an Alison drag boat. In my opinion one of the best mods I ever made to the motor was to lighten all the reciprocating weight, rods, pistons, crank and flywheel.
If I replace my 40-amp charging system with a 16-amp and use a Diamond lightened 16-amp flywheel, what performance will I gain? I know it has to rev slightly quicker and put less strain on the crank, but how much speed will it pick up?
I see Simon says if they lighten the 40-amp flywheel you will pick up 1 to 3 MPH.
