Yeah, call the local Detroit Diesel dealer and have them come out and diagnose it.
It could be a bad connection at one of the shorepower inlets, given the age and if they've shown signs of overheating, it's most likely the culprit.
They should still atomize the fuel the same as the fuel pressure in the injector and line is the same regardless of compression, that comes from...
You can tell pretty easily with the valve cover off if a cylinder has low compression from the fuel injector on a Detroit both in noise and feel...
You might also be able to tell if you have a dead cylinder just by running the motor with the valve cover off. Usually the injector won't actuate...
As to the OP, you can find one through a good broker usually is the best way. Word of mouth is always best. The other way is to dockwalk, find...
The 80' Hatteras actually has 2 nicely sized crew staterooms in the stern and a large head. 1 with a queen for the Captain and another with bunks...
I would increase the fuel burn average. an 80' Hatteras MY will burn 140 gph at cruise. But you can run it at 10-12 knots at 25-40gph and offset...
Have you tried calling the Detroit dealer? I'm sure they could work on it. It sounds to me like you have broken rings on 1 cylinder. That would...
I wouldn't say that. I've run several Sunseekers. They all have rode great. I ran a new 73' Manhattan a year ago into 5-6' head seas and...
Gardeners aren't too terribly complicated, so any good diesel mechanic should be able to work on them.
I know of people in Fort Lauderdale that can do all that for you for a reasonable price. Georgia I don't know.
Why do you not want to run for too long above 1800??? Your engines were designed to run 1900 rpms at cruise all day long and it's good for them...
Which also builds low quality yachts.
It could be simply leaking from the oil drain hose on the turbo. Not enough info to really diagnose.
I agree with the above sentiments, but figure a boat should be 10% or less, 5% would be more comfortable. Those same figures should be how much...
low quality = low price.
Displacement hulls don't need a lot of power to move them. The 76' Northern Marine I ran had a single 600hp Cummins and it had plenty of power.
They were about 16 miles offshore of Ft. Pierce, FL. Not sure where the helicopter was based out of..... But I'm guessing it would take 15-30...
I took a 75' Hatteras MY through the Erie Canal. The only marina we fit into was in Troy, NY. We anchored the other times. There was plenty of...
