Yep. With pleasure boats, it's indeed normal that the market value, among other thing, depends on the engine hours clocked. But I am a bit...
+1. In fact, when I decided to replace the mains seacocks in my current boat after purchasing her (when she was already 13 years old), I did...
Aha, I see. I wasn't aware that water injection along the exhaust are called dump cans, so I assumed we were talking of flooded cans. Which...
Well, I wouldn't call myself an exhaust expert, either. I just thought to answer post #35 from MYlover, because gas temperature is cooled down by...
I guess that flooded is the more appropriate description for the cans I was referring to. Are there other types of exhaust cans which don't stay...
Beware of those! Though in fairness, also retrofitting fins to a hull not originally designed for them can be tricky. Neither their placement nor...
Nope. The main function of dump cans is to silence the exhaust. The possibility to use rubber hoses after the dump can is just incidental, sort...
Good point, I wasn't paying attention to that. @ JohnHansen: aside from what you can find directly in DK, I'm pretty sure that you can source the...
Here, the manufacturers widely recognized as the best for this stuff are Maestrini and Guidi. Hard to name the absolute best, since both have...
I'm also a fan of the "if it ain't broke..." principle, generally speaking. But removing the shrouds after 22 years for a decent visual inspection...
Wow. Respect for the Captain. That spot is called Baia Cannone, less than one cable length N of Portofino. They must have washed away all the...
That's almost 9 and 10 litres per Nm respectively. Way too much at those speeds, for that boat/engines. R U sure that everything is in tune, clean...
Sorry, I can't give any suggestions on MAN service anywhere in FL. But some folks here will be able to contribute, I'm sure. Me, I'd be glad to...
Wow, every 3 years? By "new", do you mean also the injector body? Those Bosch injectors are part of what I called bulletproof, in these engines....
Thanks a lot MYlover, very interesting pic indeed. Confirms that you are measuring EGT downstream of the turbine, as I already guessed based on...
Well, they were/are also very good, both underway and at anchor. I'm not saying just as good as the vectors, because that would be a bold...
I'd be very interested to see that, if the search isn't too much of a hassle for you. Thanks in advance, regardless of whether you will actually...
When I said that I tried Sleipner stabs, I specified "also before" their vector stuff. By implication, I hope you'll agree that this means both...
The only MAN engine I can think of with a power rating of 820hp was the very last mechanical V10. After that, on the V10 block, they built the...
That's nowhere near as interesting as your interpretation of what I wrote. From my post #9: Just about every fin stabilizers I tried were very...
