“You switched the witch off“ “I dont switch off nothing”. I love it. My partner and I have these same discussions, but only on land and definitely not about the windlass.

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.

how long does it take to break in new motor?? you guys deserve the new engine , congrats!!!!

Not to throw any shade on you guys as I enjoy your channel immensely. But the engine is too high up on Anti Vibration Mounting pillars studs this will add to vibration and shorten mount life. Easy fix just shim under AVM’s. Great motor you will enjoy for years.
