So your thought is the key is too tall and thus forcing the shaft against the other side too much? Anything is possible. But if it was the key...
Make sure you keep a close eye on that shaft seal until you get this figured out. Running it with that wobble is surely putting more stress on...
On my Donzi I custom made frames to put solid glass on the front of the bridge and wrapped around about 1/3 of the way back on each side. Then I...
Do you have a cutlass bearing in the shaft log or just the one in the strut? What was condition of the bearing(s) ?
I’m still interested to hear if these engines have a low coolant level alarm and why that didn’t alert to a problem?
Do you get similar readings on the other gen if you are only running one at a time? You have two gens, why not perform a side by side test? This...
Is it just me or does a 32” diameter prop seem small for a boat this size and up? I’m swinging 32” props on my 54 with a lot less hp. Yes, I have...
I get your point. But you cannot reach this switch from anywhere near the bed. It is in the back of the hanging locker. And it doesn’t look like...
So we had some time on our hands so I asked my guy to troubleshoot why the port side air handler in the master stateroom wasn't working when I...
Do your engines not have low coolant level alarm? If heater ruptured and dumped coolant, why didn’t the low level alarm alert you to a problem?
Oh man, so sorry to hear. How many hours on that engine?
Yes, I agree that in theory the thermostat should simply shut the heater off as the normal engine cooling temp is well above where the thermostat...
This was my first thought as I was reading. Then secondly, even if left on and even if the thermostat in the heater failed and stayed full on I...
Could also be a governor issue where it’s not applying enough engine power under heavy load?
I’m still confused by the CAPT comments. So he’s been running this boat for 20 years and said it would do 37 kns then has nothing to say when it...
Hope you enjoyed the repower thread. Yes, very happy with the new CATs and the NL gens, and really everything else we did. If I knew what I know...
Your first post said 25-26 kn at 65% load. Are you saying that at 75% load you don’t pick up another 1-2 kns for 27-28? You could always ask...
Did you run it at 80% load to get a better sense of true cruise speed and fuel burn? Did CAPT say why he cruised at 65% load or offer an opinion...
Any update? Did you haul yet and pull that shaft?
These are mine: http://www.goldcoastpower.com/product_details.cfm?DETROIT-DIESEL-12v92-DDEC--low-hour--Marine-Yacht-T/O-&product_ID=91224 I do...
