Yes, that is true. BUT, it doesn't take a whole lot of un-burnt fuel to make black smoke sometimes. I lost a cylinder on a 12v71TI due to a split...
Just about every Ocean SF brand new, topped out a 30 knots back then WOT. That was their calling. It should cruise at 1950 rpms at 25 knots, the...
As for the engines in Giant, it could be they cannot get the parts to fix them and changing engine types would be a HUGE project which would mean...
Another reason the operating temperature will be between 30 and 90 deg C oil temp or such a large range, is because the seawater temp cooling the...
NO, the surveyor reports the boat cruises at 23 MPH, not "tops out at" WOT. I ran a 48' Ocean express about 6 years ago with the same 671's and...
I have used one on a Riviera that took 125volts 50amps. It had the 240volt 50 amp cord on the end, and you could plug it right into 240 volts and...
I would guess you'd be burning 45gph. I would say 520 gallons should be usable. I would run 10 hrs a day max, which should give you a fuel...
Possibly to allow for build-up in the heat exchanger as time goes on, old gear oil that some people neglect to change, etc etc.
I would check the sintered iron filter first, or just order new one(s) and change them, they're hard to clean effectively. After that, pull the...
Actually if I remember correctly most of the computer controlled cats, the gear temps run very very close to whatever the engine temp is. I would...
What about a bad ground? if the power leads are hot, the ground could be shorted. I would check that. Also, un-hooking the wires/plug going...
now, now, kids. What temperature does the other transmission run at when at temperature. What are engine temps on both engines? I have...
Inside of the lower hose fitting on the bottom of the resevoir, there is a filter or mesh screen. I have seen it get all full of debris over the...
Miami Beach Marina is a nice marina and in South Beach. There is a surge and wake that goes through there a lot of times, and is much worse south...
It depends on how much traveling you're doing. The more you're doing, the more this mod will pay for itself between cutlass bearing changes....
It doesn't matter what motoryacht they're installed in, if they're both propped to hit 2300 rpms at WOT, then fuel burn should be very similar. I...
E rated CATS are recommended to be run at 80% LOAD, not by RPM, provided they turn the maximum rated RPM at full throttle.
I was told by Northern lights they'll go 40k hours in a commercial 24/7 (more or less) use setting and less hours in a pleasure boat. They are a...
Well yes and no. a 50amp cord should be able to pull 50 amps AT 240 volts. Some marina's I've been to hover around 206 volts which puts more...
I don't know any engine surveyors in that area. However, I don't think you can go wrong by having the Factory Detroit Diesel dealer for that area...
