Good point, but wasn't the EGT reading even more effective (and faster) in spotting overload conditions?
I only toyed with the idea so far, and didn't design yet a possible installation (also for the EGT and boost sensors, btw). But the instrument...
Ok, that explains both the previous and the new instrumentation nicely! And also the throttles replacement. I'm very surprised to hear that the...
I can't remember any typical/recurring faults. After all, as already said, we are talking of the very same block, and I believe that the 100...
Correct. Apologies for the typo.
A very clean refit indeed, well done! But which engines does the boat have, if I may ask? The reason for my curiosity is that all the CRM engines...
The current V8 CRM is available with up to a 1300hp output, but the same block it ain't (see my previous post). Mind, they didn't start with a...
All MAN engines with 128mm bore are designated D28xy. The third digit (x) can be 4, 6 or 7 depending on the bore - respectively 142, 157 or 166mm....
Absolutely. I've been saying for decades that the LLL in itself is a totally silly concept. But since so far nobody ever convinced the Brits to...
Yup, being responsible is one of the reasons why some builder deliberately decided to NOT apply for Cat-A even when they could make it...
I don't doubt that she's at least as seaworthy as the Cat-A boat I previously linked, if not more. In spite of the fact that conversion to metric...
Or maybe they do, who knows? You can't say the opposite only based on the fact that their boats are Cat-B. Cat-B is simply what the builder...
I wholeheartedly agree with the first of these statements, but not so much with the latter. In my experience, you can go wrong with ANY brand. But...
Be sure to be sitting down when you'll read the new quote...
Well, if I really should find myself in those conditions in a 40m sailboat, I might well re-think the idea of crossing oceans by boat, but I...
C32 AC cores at $334 each? That deserves a place as an example of what "wishful thinking" means in the dictionary! :D
Well, with all due respect for the rest of what Olderboater said, imho the crucial point in his post was actually a question: "basically are you a...
I've only just seen this thread. For all the ins and outs of MMDS displays, I've got the repair manual on a file. Too large to upload it directly...
Just for the records, in the meantime I had a chance to check the MAN maintenance schedule, and I can also confirm that Beau was correct. MAN...
Ok, but in this case I wouldn't call that an inherent defect of u/w exhausts. Just a poor installation (or re-installation) of a component that...
