What does the future of the company have to do with anything relating to buying a used one if it is out of warranty, besides possibly effects on...
I would email them first, that should be your first course of action. They built the pump, they're the experts on it, they know the in's and out's...
I agree, check the load first and the breaker and isolate if it's a weak breaker or the pump motor going bad and drawing excessive amperage. Most...
Sounds like you need check valves so that the one pump is not losing pressure or sucking air or water in circles from the other pump, or perhaps a...
It depends, half of the engines I see needing a major are from a screw up.....bad injector washed a liner, turbo sent pieces into the cylinders,...
Are they 12v92's or 12v71's? $60k per engine for rebuilds is actually a little high, but better to plan on the high side.....a major on 71's...
This. You can usually adjust the sensitivity ( could also be called response) in the menu and should adjust it from time to time for various sea...
I don't know about oil seed. IT and sugar may be more efficient But from CORN that the U.S. is using, it is a big money loser to produce ethanol...
Here in the U.S., they derive ethanol from Corn. It takes more energy to extract the ethanol, than what the ethanol produces. It's a loss game.
No, just the usual 1000 hour service. Clean heat exchangers, aftercoolers, inspect turbo's, inspect injectors and injector pump, adjust valves,...
I would go for the MANs long before the DDs. Parts are more for the MANs but the MANs should have a much longer life cycle and need less parts.
Every Ocean I've ever known, had Aluminum fuel tanks and given the age of your vessel, was the reason they started leaking and needed to be replaced.
The crosshatch marks are left from honing the cylinders, but the reason you do that is not so they carry oil, but you do it so the piston rings...
The ideal boat honestly would be an ocean going sail boat. Safer than a motoryacht in regards to the fact it can roll over and self right itself,...
No 1900 rpms, you want to get EGT up to burn out the slober out of the airboxes and turbos. I will usually bring them up to 1300-1400rpms where...
You can but that also requires re-propping the vessel and smaller injectors, and re-setting the rack. What you're going to spend to do so will...
The Prestige I run has bow thruster control at all 3 stations. The bow does drift a little or lag behind the boat when moving the joystick and...
I run a 2015 50' Prestige, and it has the joystick on the aft deck, as well as on the FB and inside the pilothouse. That is plenty sufficient to...
New England ropes is quality line. Miami Cordage also has good line. I would put as much chain in front of the line as possible and remember it...
Yes there is a valve right in front of where the hose attaches, it is painted white like the rest of the generator and you have to turn it 90...
