The exact model (TE92/657hp or TE93/756hp) might make some difference. I agree with your suggestion of avoiding dead idle with the latter, but for...
Same block as the V8-800, but very different altogether, because the 900hp was the first common rail and fully electronic version. That said, if...
A fuel burn chart as we all think a fuel burn chart should be, as far as I know, does not exist for those engines. The one that PacBlue posted was...
Wow, SNO of the Pirro bros fame? And for 2 decades? I'm lost for words. The next time someone will criticize Marinemax as a dealer, I'll have a...
Your statement left me wondering where exactly they shipped those boats, 'cause I'm not aware of ANY Italian Hatteras dealer. So, I just checked...
Thanks for the detailed explanation on the yellow little valve. I finished installing the new covers & gauges yesterday (yes, perfectly up-rite)....
I am not sure of what the EU regulation restrictions are on fuel filters (if any), but while metal bowls are indeed common, actually also sight...
All understood, thanks. In fact, I was also wondering how/why the air bubble could disappear. I mean, other than thermal dilatation of the fluid...
Very interesting to hear that, also because you seem to confirm that these gauges are frequently installed in boats at your side of the Atlantic,...
It's a pity that you came across a poorly maintained Ferretti 590, because imho she's a bit better seaboat than the Princess 61. And also larger...
Doh! Thanks for the link, I actually bought the gauges from the Separ distributor in the US, and didn't think to check their UK website. But...
I am going to replace the covers of some Separ filters with the one below, that includes a vacuum gauge for early spotting of progressive clogging...
If I should add another guess, I'd say one or more of the HEUI injectors in need of refurbishing. Possibly due to a bit of fuel contamination....
What Beau asked is if you have MAN engines, because his suggestion was specific to them. But I don't think you do on a 35 footer, don't you?
What was simplistic in your suggestion of glassing only the forward holes is the obvious implication to use the other two existing holes for a...
Hey, I was only answering a post where the OP said "Im even wondering since we have 4 if thats an option". Whether you already knew what I said or...
Actually, 4 fins are not rare at all, but only on very big boats - or better said, ships. Dilbar, a 500+ feet monster built by Lürssen, is one...
Do you mean a lot less with hydraulic? Well, while under way their current draw is close to nothing - just enough DC to run the control panel, but...
Actually it isn't the same, it's significantly less. For any given size/effectiveness, electric fins have been tested to demand 30 to 40% less...
Goes to prove what I said about CMC electric fin stabs not being as known as they deserve in the US. They were retrofitted in the Canados from...
