I'm guessing that you are under loading the engines.
Those gears are a mistake, and trying to correct that mistake by using the wrong props is only making things worse.

Tweaked how? How can you run 31 knots at 3300 rpm and 30 at 3900? Did you go to a 16" prop? I fear that you're making a mistake.....

Re: Hei Hei Repower - Hyundai 270s Update
What would be the advantages of going with the 2:1 gears? Being able to take advantage of the low rpm torque of the diesel, something the gas engine simply doesn't have (with proper marine cams). The efficiency is nice, the lower possibility of explosion is nice. But the really great thing about th...

For a 3800 RPM diesel, I would think:
2:1 (though I always wanted to try 1.85:1)
21X23

Re: Seacock maintenance
The handles are usually replaceable. They're just held on with a nut. If you bend one, it can be replaced. Spray a little CorrosionX or other penetrating oil on the outside of the valve. Wait a few hours and try to move it.

You should probably do a short haul and have them serviced or replaced. A frozen valve is just a damn foolish reason for a boat to sink.
