It was an exciting day last week when the brand-new propulsion engine and transmission landed in the ship.  The combination of engine and drive gear was too large to ship as a complete unit, so each were hoisted independently before being mated once they were both in the engine room.  The engine is a Cummins QSM11 (350hp) engine with a TwinDisc hydraulic transmission.
