Did you have the oil cooler gaskets replaced on both engines? Had to do that around 400 hrs and everyone I have ever talked to with those...
SeaGull Thanks for the info. Just curious what kind of boat you had that ran that high 80% at normal cruise. This boat has a deep vee from bow...
Capt J, With clean bottom and props it turns 2360 rpms. When I got the boat in 08 the props were 4 blade 28x40 and the load was high with full...
K1W1, I did run over this trip (approx. 15hrs) using the blowers if that could have created this issue. Thx, Skip
Bill, My normal load % is around 75-76% and this trip it was in the high 80s. We did not have a following wind actually a head wind. The boat...
Possible but unlikely since its both engines. I have tried running both ways running with blowers on and off. Mostly off. Owned boat for 7 years.
Anywhere from 1750-1900rpm. I agree on the valves hard to believe they are the issue. Much more likely the injectors. These engines have always...
Had a lot of soot this trip over to the Bahamas from both engines. We towed (cruise speed of approx. 21knts) the 19ft tender and were loaded...
Our 24v macerator pump quit working yesterday while we are in the Bahamas. When checking the pump wiring for voltage I found a 24v 5 pin relay...
This stuff works great on stainless & aluminum. The new sealer keeps the product working for about 6 months. Woody Wax with sealer. Also can...
Thanks guys will put a piece of Styrofoam on top and see how that works.
In general the freezer works well although bait or food located close to the top will soften slightly during a hot day. It appears to be well...
Leeky, Thanks for the clarification on heat. Do you by chance have a good solution. Skip
Do you put anything inside the top of your cockpit freezer bait/food since the top is not insulated? Piece of Styrofoam or towel or something...
As you mentioned take a $25 IR gun and shoot it at the neck of the heat exchanger. They are one of the cheapest investments you can have on your...
By any chance has the boat been in dry dock? If so you might have an air lock. Disconnect your seawater line somewhere after your seacock and be...
It isn't an expensive IR gun. Since the bottom of freezer is fiberglass and doesn't allow air under it does that have something to do with...
I've noticed that my freezer temperature is several degrees warmer at the bottom (by IR gun). Not sure if that is from engine heat or just the...
Capt J or Bill, Is regular Seastar fluid okay to fill reservoir up with? Its about a cup below the line so was going to add some but have no idea...
Does it work on fiberglass? Is it available in US? Thx
