LOL, it's rather that Greek MAN dealer whose website shows those numbers which is a bit crazy, methinks... :) They must have made a cut and paste...
That's not correct, F42. The stroke has always been 142 mm, for V engines. It's true that the D2866 had a 155mm stroke, which in your D2876 was...
I see your point ref. main bearings in principle, but output also depends on manufacturers' choices, to a large extent. At this size, Cat and...
I wish I knew the answer to your question, because those engines are exactly the ones running my own boat. 2004 vintage, about 16 hundreds hours...

Funny you should mention her, J. Not sure if you remember, but during my stay in another boat (the MS75 which I think you know) from which I took...
Far from pretending to answer on behalf of NY Cap, but my understanding of what he meant is simply more weight=more fuel. Which is somewhat true...
In that respect, the Dashew's FPBs are even better. Different strokes for different folks, as always with boats....
I did some math, actually. That's why I checked the Cat specs for the C-18, according to which two of them should burn 57 GPH at 1800 rpm, not 67....
+1, and not only for Zopilote (now called Holiday, as I recall). Here's another couple of almost sisterships, as spotted by truly yours. The...
I can't be positive on current Irish-specific rules, if any. But I did deal with an Irish broker, a dozen of years ago. Back then, he was happy to...
Interesting. Multi-voltage battery banks aren't actually that common, among EU builders. Wherever 12V-only components are present in an all-24V...
