from sea to shining ...at 14.2 knots "Balboa" owner chooses Waukesha diesels for converted 1000 ton tuna seiner

The 190-ft. long "Balboa," out of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, fishes tuna in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. She is a converted U.S.

Naval vessel and most of the imaginative redesign is the work of owner John Mauricio.

She is Waukesha-powered all the way.

Two Waukesha VHP L5792 supercharged and intercooled die- sels, each rated 1421 continuous horsepower at 1215 rpm, power the twin screws. With her 4-blade, 92 x 92 inch screws turning at 243 rpm at full power, the "Balboa" cruises at speeds up to 14.2 knots.

Two Waukesha VC L1616 diesels provide 350 kw each for ship's service power. A Waukesha VC H1077 drives the bow thruster and supplies 250 kw emergency power. The skiff engine is a VC

H1077 rated 230 horsepower at 2000 rpm.

Mauricio likes the reliability and performance of his Waukesha engines and says "there is a great advantage in matching pro- pulsion and ship's service electric sets to get maximum parts and service interchangeability. We're pleased with our decision to go with Waukesha."
