Of your choices, the CAT 3406 is a very very durable engine and was used on a lot of generator sets that ran non-stop. A 12v71 is a good choice...
That is true, but testing it while running will show if there is any restriction in the line as well such as a blockage.
The oil probably builds up a lot of heat when the pump is running and as the oil cools down probably gets condensation in it. I am guessing...
It depends on how the crew get along. Having to walk out of your stateroom to the head/shower is a pain. But on 1 103' yacht I occassionally...

I don't see how it would be a salvage job if it simply ran out of fuel and they anchored and waited for a tow boat (or two). Heck, they could've...

If that is the case, then why would they take it from the boatyard to the middle of the jungle without finishing it first? I believe it was built...
I too like the PSS system if I was going dripless. But after dealing with A LOT of yachts with dripless issues and such, I'm starting to go full...
The HT lenses are really nice. They just cut the glare. Even in direct sunlight they're good. I am pretty sure all maui jim's are polarized....
1. I would be concerned, but removing the airboxes and looking into the cylinders should tell the tale if everything is ok or not. 2. Look at...
Yes but then that gets into other problems. You have to show Millions of dollars going out of the country to another country to pay for it....
