I'm getting ready to start a repower of my 54' Donzi (details covered in another thread). I'm going with CAT C-18's and ZF665-A gears. I've been...
I'm going with the ZF 665-A with 1.525:1 ratio. This is the closest ratio I can get to my current 1.6:1. I'm told at WOT at 2300 rpm the shaft...
So I have decided to move forward with the repower project. I'm finalizing some details with CAT but I'm going with the C-18's at 1150 hp (1136...
I met with CAT last week. They are working up a proposal. More when I get something..........
You are correct and I was mistaken on gear ratio. The existing gears are 1.6:1. The gears are badged Detriot then have a Twin Disc model number....
I met with CAT dealer late last week. Will see what kind of proposal they come back with. They are also going to give me some detailed drawings of...
All great info any very much appreciated. I wasn't planning on replacing shafts unless a problem is found. We pulled shafts a few years back and...
The spec sheet I have indicates the 12V-92TA dry weight is 4,895 lbs dry. Not sure where you found the 5,861 lbs you indicate? I attached the...
I appreciate all the input. It would be difficult for me to seriously consider MAN's. Not because they are not good engines but the service and...
Well fortunately I'm in the shipyard business so lots of resources at my disposal. However, we are large commercial, not yacht so a bit different.
Thanks. I do have 10 degree down angle gears behind the 12v92s now. I'll have to look closer at the C-32s and possible remote mounting of items.
Capt Ralph can you expand on your opinion the C32s will fit please? My research shows the C32's at 9" taller and about 10" wider. The Detriots...
Back in 2015 I considered Repowering my 54' Donzi Sportfish when I had a failure with the existing STBD Detriot 12V92TTA. For various reasons I...
Let me know if I can help provide any info on the regulating valve I had to install due to cold water temps affecting the ice machine. I replaced...
So are you saying the pumps are in deed pumping and the problem is elsewhere? Is this boat new to PAC NW area? Has the freezer and ice maker ever...
As Pascal mentioned these pumps will not self prime. I have similar type pumps for my A/C, Ice chipper, refer, etc. If you hauled the boat no...
Finally got the boat trialed after a hard winter and happy to report the rebuilt Trans seems to be working great. The higher temp is gone and both...
Doesn't address your out of stock issue but thought I would add that I installed Sterling 24v to 12v chargers about 5 years ago and they have...
Take extra caution to make sure your splice from the 8 Plait to the chain is correct. I bought a complete Rode from Maxwell only to watch the...
I switched both my starting and house banks to AGM five years ago and couldn't be happier. Starting are 8D's and house are group 31. The house are...
