A Powerhouse
Harvey is an electric boat. Her five diesel engines drive generators which provide electricity for propulsion.
This power is then channeled through two switchboards where the engineers distribute it. The forward one controls the boat’s many auxiliary electrical
systems. A main switchboard aft controls power to Harvey's massive propulsion motors.
Each of these two motors is connected to its own propeller shaft. They can develop 1065 horsepower at 425 rpm.
