I think your missing my point. Yes, My gen-set oil changes are complete in minutes. Getting the oil & filters in your hands, then on/off the boat...
In my opinion (IMO), Synthetic oils may offer a lil longer oil change interval but I believe it offers better engine protection. Greater...
Shopping for oil and filters is depressing enough. Dragging a pail of oil on/off the boat. Disposing of old filters and oil. Cleaning up. 15 to...
By the way (BTW), yesterday I got a high pressure error on my new and bomb proof galley A/C system. Strainer and lines fouled. In 6 weeks,...
In the late 80s & early 90s I was shooting Duracoat and S/W two-part paints. Worked great. When S/W epoxy bottom barrier was recommend, we went...
Yes, We are using all synthetic on NL 12, 20, BMZ 20 (Isuzu 4LE1) and a kluge D1105, 9. Oil labs are coming back perfect past 300+ hours. I...
So, what ya going to do with the old pumps? Mail them to me?
I just remembered, Some of the older owners manuals commented on the original engines model number. May be helpful to fine read the first few...
These are usual service parts and may not be base engine Yanmar parts. Trouble finding others? Contacted a real Kohler shop yet with serial and...
If I remember, most of those gen-sets were based on the Yanmar 3JH(F) or 3HMF engine. What parts do you need?
Keep clean. One of our members had his tower re-finished,, on the boat. Looks like new. It still needs to be washed often.
We finally busted out to clear water. Were back from a six week deployment. We leaped froged down the Florida coast to Elliot Key and back. All...
By the way, That Kubota D1105 used in your previous 8kw OhNo is the same engine model I'm using for my #2 gen-set. Over 4000 hours and was running...
These OhNo's had some nice at the time, Cummins engines. The MDL3,4 & 6 just never took off like the Kubota, Yanmar, Shibaura, Mitsubishi & Isuzu....
Ouch. No backup gen-set? Leaks in a tray, with a drain port? Have you been gen-set shopping lately? Where is your ship? You probably have an ole...
There is something about a boat when I first walk on them. I can tell if they were chartered or luved by the owner. Not all guest you have on...
My notes show 509-0203 as the original OhNo rear seal part number (spec A). That includes a wear sleeve. Sadly, these engines are way past end of...
Any numbers still readable on the old seal?
And like brothers, these two squabble a lot. However, there are some good thoughts and ideas embedded in the bickering,,,, sometimes.. ;);)
Do you like your boat?
