Ah, the 6.5kw gas genny, opposing cylinders, single down draft carb. This would probably have been the gen-set that would of been installed. Look...
Are we talking; Forbes ole Highlander?? I remember her. What a beautiful ship. Glad to see she is still getting some luv.
Has a gen-set ever been installed? I'm assuming your trying to stay with 1964 equipment? A newer unit may weigh much less.
Another boating adventure. I wonder what else was wrong with that gear causing the output shaft to have excessive play up and down?
WTF That first boat full of twits proved the Darwin theory is still in tact. They are among us all, they vote and (in)breed until they get...
Look forward to hear how it works. Keep us up.. ,rc
If you get the Cat SOS kit, pay for the LEVEL II coolant testing. It takes a lil longer for the results but tells you everything about your coolant.
If it's not to painful can you expand on your events? What repair decisions were made? Why only the pinion gear? Any other repairs or updates...
I remember 550 was the warm idle for 71s. Hard to keep sometimes when engaging the clutch. On those older DDs that have a time with the clutch &...
So, some meathead forgot to update the AIS?
But you found 100% load close to the top RPM line. I think your numbers are impressive. So, fill us in more on her ride; Enough hull, flare and V...
Little confused; I just told you how to make the connect successful. I have done it many times or I would not have wasted my time on your thread.
71s need about 5 psi warm. Please ensure your using CF-2 / 40w oil. When your making horsepower, you should see 30+(40?) psi on oil pressure.
Da*m, there just loafing. What is the load on the pins?
I think your worried about to much up front. Let her sit 3 days, get er done & go have fun. Even on a wood boat, I don't see any problems down...
Look around the connector or the transducer looking for a part number tag. Hopefully the original Airmar part number will come available. The...
You got that rite. We added a bank of 31s for the gen-sets.
One of the toys coming in for us to experiment with is a dimable DCv power supply (LED Driver).
Interesting,, I would think 140 to 165 is the perfect temperatures for a complete raw water cooled engine. Still, without any thermostat, the...
A closed cooling system should run from 160 to 180 degrees. Without thermostats you engines may not be running correctly and 10 degree swings...
