We manage a boat with 671tib's. Dock queen that fast idles around town for the last 10 years. Owner found diesel fuel cheap this fall and ran the...
BTW I still can not push our Bert sideways on calm water with 32 inch wheels. Adapt and over come. BTW We don't have no stinking thrusters either....
Docking, inland operation, rules of da road, navigation and traffic schemes are great to learn on a simulator, But, there is a pucker factor that...
Where did the limited life comment come in on that other thread. The 92s use some of the same mfg's and similar equipment. AND, the same failures....
I didn't mean anything negative about 92s, just thought I'd throw that in at no extra charge.
That should be just; 8V71TI or 8V71TA. DDC gave up on that straight (experimental) 8 during the 40s. Packard did also.
Hum,, eerr,, aahh,, TA's were used in marine engines. 71s and 92s used them. Mostly during the Penski era and usually (not always) with DDEC....
Yep. Nice and shiny.
Didn't we have a thread (of jokes) re Lucas? Yea, Yea,, The first to bottle smoke and offer a DYI kit to put the smoke back into the wires when...
Once that bearing allows the shaft to wobble, shift or fly out of tolerances at all, the turbine wheels/vains may come in contact with the...
At many, many thousands of RPM, the common shaft is under a lot of heat and pressure. That bearing holds it all in place and together. That poor...
Without altering the designed tune of the engine, It is best (IMO 71 Junkie) to keep all stock. My 12V71TIs still use the original dry turbos and...
get way off the dock, Practice around a crab pot or make shift non moving point and practice.
Let me try to draw more aweigh from that other thread about multi wires per crimp. I am guilty of this. 3 wires, two small, one medium, pull out...
Let me try to draw aweigh from that other thread about soldered connections. Behind the radios and GPS, with real (real) skinny wire, I do solder...
Reminds me of an ole pilots phrase; Any landing you can walk aweigh from is a good landing. Any landing you can walk aweigh from and reuse the...
Kids, It's trial by error. Keels in-between the wheels, Size of props, Size of rudders, Beep V, Flat bottom? Wife happy?, up/down wind/current,...
I opened a can of worms on another post referring to wire nuts on board a boat. I'd rather not tie up that thread any more than I did. I have...
Gee Didn't mean to open another worm bag. Trying to offer an example with another boat. The wire nut issue was for the pump wiring that may have...
Got it. Thx.
