The Medina is powered by a

General Motors Electro-Motive Di- vision 20-645E7 diesel engine with an output of 3,600 bhp at 900 rpm, producing a top speed of 16 knots. Electrical power is sup- plied by three Caterpillar D353 diesels driving Kato 300-kw, 480- volt generators. A Schottel 48- inch bow thruster is driven by a

Detroit Diesel 12V-71N engine rated 400 bhp at 2,100 rpm. The bow thruster is interfaced with the Sperry autopilot system to permit automatic heading keep- ing with the main engine shut down.

The deck machinery hydraulic system was designed and fur- nished by MARCO Seattle, and is powered by a dedicated Caterpil- lar D353E engine rated 470 bhp at 1,225 rpm. A standby main hydraulic pump drive is installed on the forward end of the port auxiliary generator, while an 80- hp electric motor/pump unit pro- vides power for the anchor wind- lass, forward deck Husky crane, and speedboat davits. A MARCO

WS444 Superseine winch and 54- inch power block with power grip are principal features of the deck machinery complement.

The electronic gear is unusually complete and includes two Sperry

MK 126E radars, a Furuno 850B scanning sonar, Baymar recording depth indicator with Paragon dig- ital readout, Taiyo marine band

ADF and VHF automatic direc- tion finders, two Hull single side- band radios (one with Northern

N541 1-kw linear amplifier), a

Morrow model SSB-150 emergen- cy SSB radio with programmable scanner and emergency tone gen- erator, a King K195 aircraft band radio, two Kenwood VHF radios, two Hygain model 655 VHF-FM radios, a Magnavox 1242 satel- lite receiver, Furuno weather fac- simile receiver/printer, Yaesu all- band receiver, Regency VHF scan- ner, and a complete ham radio in- stallation in the navigator's cabin.

The radio installation was en- gineered by Honor Marine Com- munications Inc. of San Diego and installed by Peterson technicians.
