    I am looking at several Viking 43 express. One has a Man 2848LE403 800 hp. and the other DDEV6V92TIB. 625 hp. Can anyone give me pro and cons on these engines and future maintenance costs. Trying to keep the costs down.

    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.

    Thanks for the reply and input Capt J. Do the Man engines need to be overhauled every 1000 hours?

    No, just the usual 1000 hour service. Clean heat exchangers, aftercoolers, inspect turbo's, inspect injectors and injector pump, adjust valves, change air filters, change coolant. Check the service book for exact requirements. The 800's should go 6,000 hours between overhauls.
