Thomas,
What HP rating is Marcotte claiming for his PSRU ?...............From the experience of a few users
on this group and others using product have reported it seems to have a checkered operational and
maintenance history..............John of this group (13B/Marcotte in Tailwind) reported a problem he had
to resolve not long ago..............John jump in here and give Thomas your experience and if you think
this PSRU will stand up to a Turbo/20B of about 550+ HP..................I personally would have severe
reservations about the Marcotte at that power level..............FWIW

Does anyone have any experience using a 2.40 gear reduction on the 20B? I am going to use the Marcotte PSRU only because he has a much higher HP Rating and it is only offered in the 2.40 ratio in the configuration I am using. However I notice everyone uses the 2.85 more commonly. Is there a specific reason why this would be better for the 20B?. I would appreciate any input any of you might have to offer.
Kind Regards
