Nope. A bit counterintuitive maybe, but it's actually the other way round. Raw water is re-injected only when the engine is running, and while its...
Yup, I believe that's negligible, for two reasons. First, even if dry exhaust pipes can indeed get much hotter than the engines, in terms of...
Neither do I, and I did say exactly the same, in fact. That doesn't make then necessary, anyway. Aside from my own boats, I can think of several...
Nothing wrong in a long dry section per se, but necessary, it definitely isn't. In my V8 MAN installation (as well as many others that I've seen)...
I'm sorry to say that I don't like what was done in more ways than one. 1) that type of insulation on the (very long!) dry section makes visual...
The OP said in post #5 that the photo shows his "previous exhaust", and that he now has a completely new one with no mixers. So, while I would...
I tend to agree with the previous suggestions to ship the thing. Not that a N62 can't handle the passage, but are you sure you want to? As I once...
Well, mine was of course a generalization, and as such always subject to exceptions. But if there's one thing I can confirm you, is that by not...
I think it does. Not showing a lot of appreciation for our efforts seems to be a common trait of most wives, but next time try to tell her that...
If your previous exhaust had those mixer elbows, you obviously had a wet exhaust - more than likely with a main u/w outlet, plus bypass. And since...
Wow, what a cute little boat! Also her drawing on your homepage is lovely, btw. Next time I'll be around FL I'll get in touch for a sunset cruise,...
If you think that you'll have other occasions to tackle similar jobs in the future, you might consider a Fein oscillating multi-tool. You'd never...
Thanks again, I always appreciate views based on first hand experiences. Party and hully gully style is precisely NOT our type of cruise, hence...
Many thanks HTM09 for your very interesting insight on a peculiar and intriguing type of navigation, together with the vessels designed for it. My...
Based also on some reconstructions of the accidents that were published in the meantime, I don't think there's a lot that the Resolute Captain did...
All of their pre-common rail D28XX engines. But in the meantime I got hold also of a much newer installation manual, specifically meant for CR...
If that's how Industry would read the diagram, well, "Industry" would be wrong. In fact, the connections which I highlighted in the previous post...
Actually J, the diagram does show that also the engine must be bonded - see below. And trust me, bonded they always are for good, also in...
Correct. In fact, in the previous (awful) drawing, you can see also the dedicated starting battery. And the domestic grounding should be separate...
Ok, so we are saying exactly the same thing. But don't be mistaken (they usually separate the metals with saltwater in them via O-rings or other...
