I would just change it, they're pretty cheap, take 2 minutes to change. If you really really want to test it. The best way or most accurate...
The newer Onan gensets also have a sensor for water flow (the computerized ones) and if they don't detect waterflow just past the impellor within...
Sorry, I got lost at the picture of the girl on the bow...... :) Yeah, it definately has chaulks there......Maybe this one was supposed to have...
The water sensor is most likely going bad. In the pic it looks like the terminal on the right is loose or not connected the way it should be to...
C) the raw water pump and it's impellor, then B, then A. :)
I think the second or one of the two oil switches is a safety that does not allow the starter to engage if someone hits the button and the engine...
Your boat should have the Westerbeke 15btd OK, see diagrahm http://www.westerbeke.com/WiringDiagrams/12B-82B_108C_(39144_rev_j).pdf oil...
It should have 2 wires connected to each sensor. The sensors will look like a small spark plug almost but without the part the spark plug boot...
You might be right......He might have to jumper the two wires versus unhooking 1 wire. I couldn't remember if they were normally open or normally...
Exactly, whichever one it stays running without is your culprit. You may also be able to ohm the shutoff switches, but if it's intermittent you...
If you hold down the preheat and it continues to run, then it is shutting off on a safety switch. Check all of your basic fluid levels. Check...
Why isn't the cleat mounted on the deck and the scupper drain they're using wasn't made into a simple hause pipe, I have no idea. You see the...
The CAT engine computer tells you exactly what your load is at all times, as well as fuel burn and many other parameters. Swapping bigger engines...
17 knots is hardly what I'd call fast. The CAT C18's run very very clean at slower speeds and don't load up on excess fuel like many of the other...
Run the boat at 10 or 12 knots (whatever your hull speed is which is probably around 10 knots), conserve a lot of fuel, and enjoy the...
Well, see what it takes to have Caterpillar turn them into the 1150hp Acert's. If it is possible, then that should get you what you need/want in...
It depends on the boat. On boats that barely stay on plane when they're new due to how much power they have or hull design, it can make a big...
Do you think he'll sell the boat for $1.75 without the mooring if I give him a 12' boat in trade???? hehehehe
I've seen it a lot on diesel trucks. I have not seen anyone do it aftermarket (other than the dealer such as Pantropic to bump it from a C rating...
It did happen. Bottom was cleaned before the intial seatrial, as there was a seatrial/survey which included hauling the boat. 11 layers of...
