Let me see if I have this correct:
Y'all are saying that the Mariner can run just fine on a faster (about 3600rpm) 5hp motor at 1200 rpm ccw rotation of the pump. Therefore, the the 7.5 hp that it usually comes with is just overkill or normally runs a Mariner faster. Is that correct?
I never got an answer as to how fast the Bauer Mariner usually spins and could not find that on line. The Yachtpro runs at 1200 rpm but I don't know if that is one of Brownie's modifications from the stock Mariner?
I also noticed that the gas powered Capitano has a gas engine the same size as the electric motor. Usually a gas motor is significantly higher in named horsepower than the electric version for the same compressor. For example, a 1hp electric is about equal to a 4 hp gas. That Bauer would use the same size surprises me. Maybe they are just real conservative with their electric sizing?
