Never heard of that thing, but... Eight seals failing over ten years, plus both shafts at the same time last week? o_O Its one of the two,...
Not me, if you're referring to my previous post. But my boat is my home for 6+ months/year, and you'll understand why whenever going out for...
Well, when I said that I carry nothing to deal with a seal failure, I meant nothing specific. I do have spare socks and undies onboard, if that...
Why not relevant? As an emergency solution, it's certainly better than any shrink wrap tape - and also much easier/faster to deploy. Of course, I...
Beware of complaining about politicians, folks... [MEDIA]
Some dripless shaft seals have, either standard or available as an option, a device that can be used to "lock" any water ingress, provided that...
Good point, CR. For some reason, I had in mind that it happened upon cold start, rather than after shutdown (as the OP actually said). On the...
Do you actually mean hybrid (diesel/electric), or electric-only? If the latter, I'd be curious to hear what you have in mind, because I'm not...
I wouldn't rule out leaking injector(s) either.
I can't think of any marine engines which were ever stretched to a thousand ponies with a 12 liters displacement. Well, aside from Seatek, who is...
Looking fwd to hearing your findings. There must be something wrong somewhere, because it beggars belief that just one side/fluke was partially...
Sounds like the flukes are not rotating as freely as they should. Are you sure there isn't some metal dent somewhere, or anything else restricting...
A gensets noise change suggests that the engine is struggling to keep up with a high current demand on its alternator, but pretty sure you must...
And didn't he mention that a multimeter test with no load on a capacitor is as reliable as tossing a coin? :confused: Based on your latest...
Well, I agree as a general principle, but one has to wonder what were they thinking at Cat, in this particular case. I happen to know intimately...
I definitely preferred the pocket anchors arrangement that I used to have in my previous boat to the bow roller that I have in the current one....
Are they, really? The CORES?!? I thought that only the external box was aluminum - which is an already debatable choice - but using it for the...
You might have already seen these Cabo seatrials sheets, but just in case... Ref. the hours, if anything they sound unusually low, for a 16 years...
You might be unable to spot a defective run capacitor with just a multimeter. Easier to just replace it and see what happens - it's not a big...
R U sure it isn't a 230V 50Hz motor? I can't read all the yellow label on the box, but it does show 230VAC at its top. Anyway, the symptoms you...
