I'll tell you that, in precise terms:

She has twin six cylinder MAK 6M32C Diesels running through a Lufkin CSQ1102-PTO-K reduction gear (5.13:1 ratio) driving a single ABS-Type 4 Ni-Al Bronze CP prop manufactured by Schottel-Schiffsmaschinen GmBH, Wismar, Germany.

The Canadian Vessel Registry website says that the Michipicoten is now a twin screw vessel (presumably as a result of her dieselization this past winter).

Please tell me this is a misprint and that her two new engines are hooked up to one drive.
