Mine do, I asume it's to heat combustion chambers for emissions reasons? I'm looking forward to a report on your block heaters to see if cold start smoke is reduced.
I dont think they spin any longer than the 12ltr CAT's i had in my last boat?
AS far as reduced startup smoke, we're going to have to wait till sometime in Jan, not going out to the boat till then

Re: My new 2000 530 with Volvo 122's/610HP
All I can say is I first had the Katapults made up for my 50’ Cruisers 5000 Sedan w/ 12ltr CAT’s @ 660HP running 50k lbs loaded & I got drastic improvements that I don’t expect with my 530. It would be nice
With the old wheels my Cruisers ran at 20-22kts cruise and 26+ Kts WOT.
The Katapilts with fine-tuning got me cruise speeds of 24-27 & WOT of 30+ kts.
I will say that I had the wheels re-cupped a couple of times to reach the right compromise as each time I added cup I lost about 50RPM- I expect I might have to do the same but you never know
When the smoke clears i'd like to see a couple of knot improvement, most importantly at cruise speeds
I always like to travel with a spare set of wheels & this also fills that need as my current wheels will be stared in the ER somewhere
