I don't think I can stay on plane at 32-34mph with triple engines. My slow easy cruise is about 37mph +. If you run up over 35mph with the gen on, does it shut off? Is your pickup behind both steps?

400SS or 370SS owners, can your generator run while on plane???

Here is the deal. My 419 FASTech foams up the water too much for the generator pickup to feed the strainer and keep the gen supplied with enough water to run on plane or at 40mph. I know there are...
