They made V12 pre-common rails. I ran a 57' Bertram that had them. They were rated at 1350hp and figured possibly rated at the OPs 1360. The...
If you need to ask, you really are better off hiring a Man mechanic. You're talking about an engine that costs $80k to rebuild if you screw it...
That's a wonderful place and way to mount a breaker panel.
They should be good engines. MTU had some issues right out of the gate with them, (first 150 sets) but should have been resolved. I've seen a...
I would find another Yanmar dealer. A recall is a recall and they should honor it. Secondly, why are your alternators not charging your batteries?
It can mean the panel mounted right in view on the dash where you steer from if it has fuses or those push button ETA breakers.
Good news, it sucks that you had so much equipment fry because of it. I've replaced more 6-12 batteries at a shot because of a battery charger...
There are a lot of systems on a Super Yacht that cargo ships simply do not have. A lot of being a Captain on a Super Yacht is dealing with 5 star...
Not only that, I see the 125 as a more ideal Bahamas/Carribbean boat for an owner with the reduced draft and enough stops where the reduced fuel...
I would highly recommend buying a new unit. Not only are they much lighter. You cannot get many wear items/replacement parts for that 1964 ONAN.
Are you saying that all of the chillers are 2010??? I would find a new A/C guy immediately. Sounds like he just wants to sell units. Chillers...
You don't need to replace the rams as far as I know with Bennetts. I have a boat sitting in salt water with the Bennett indicators that we...
The ones manufactured for/by Volvo were origionally made by QL. I agree that they do work very well. Humphrees is it's own brand and has...
Actually you generally want to see more engine hours in the year range that you're looking at. Diesel engines don't like to sit around and you...
1. Yes you can. You'll see around 1.5 mpg at trawler speeds in a 35'-45' SF. However you might want to call it trolling speeds (some fisherman...
If I remember correctly, the Post hatches were all fiberglass? Find someone that does fiberglass and have them fix it.
It depends on the motor, the sea water temp and the thermostats. I "think" the common rail 1100's I run have 192F thermostats in them, and yours...
Your speeds are amazing and I looked at the specs. It is larger than it appears in the picture. My personal thoughts are it's not well suited...
Yes, go to a Caterpillar dealer and buy the sample kits, they're around $30-35 each. The kit has the bottle to put the sample in, a larger bottle...
Unfortunately those conditions will scale up the heat exchangers a lot faster than usual. They'll also wear out impellors quicker. But it is what...
