Yeah, or like Isaac Newton observing evolution over time and natural selection, just as another example... :D
Interesting to see somewhat different instructions for such a basic check. BTW, specifying to check the level with the engine horizontal is...
If you ever came across any written MAN recommendation for a specific brand/type of oil, I'd be interested to see it. In fact, in my experience...
I find such statement more offensive for the Subaru/Toyota crowd. Porsche for connoisseurs would be more appropriate! :cool:
Bobhorn, FWIW I agree with Pascal, and in your boots I'd reconsider the whole DC setup. But just for your peace of mind, what you've got isn't as...
The engines you're looking at are the very last version of the 100% mechanical V10 in MAN lineup, capable of 820hp at 2300rpm. It has been a very...
You've got some nice headphones there. Did I miss the last model from Bose? :D
If like me you appreciate having as much boat documentation as possible at your fingertips in electronic format, just ask. No problem to send you...
Aha, I didn't think of Ford Lehman, also because they are almost unheard of, in Europe. Anyway, I see what you mean, and it's exactly the same as...
I assumed a typo in the OP post, but now that you also use GFI rather than GFCI, I'm wondering if it's my English that is poor. Or are the two...
I think it's more likely that the problem doesn't exist on genset for the very simple reason that the boat doesn't have any GFCI device at all. If...
Not sure of what are the FL engines you're referring to, but if you mean that with no DC you were unable to stop the engines because the stop...
I am familiar with that manual, because your D2840 LE401 engines belong to the same family of my (and Butch's) D2848 LE403, and the operation...
I guess by GFI you actually mean that your marina installed a GFCI device (Amps are irrelevant in this respect) in a pedestal which previously had...
I can confirm that there's absolutely nothing electronic in the Cat 3116. In the event of a catastrophic electric system failure, your only engine...
I meant to mention this, but I forgot - just as another small reminder for the OP: Beware, it's not only the angle but also the length of the...
You said they are V10 engines - out od idle curiosity, 820, 1050 or 1100?
Nope, they were already turbocharged. Little I knew back then about good or bad engines, and their not so brilliant reputation among Cats. BTW,...
In my old lady, also 3116 powered but of 1995 vintage, they were yellow. My understanding is that up to the mid/late 90s yellow was standard, and...
+1 to all that. Having said all what I just said, my preferred way to check oil is before rather than after running the boat. Which can mean...
