Of course my fuel consumption did......but not even 5% more consumption then normal and it threw a black cloud you couldn't see through. In the...
Henning made a point, that the vessel you have does not take advantage of the water. I agree. I tend to stay un-opinionated and did not comment....
Yes one of the smaller boats......either the 65 vsc or the 65 sf, travels with each megayacht. Any idea why she's being sold and they're keeping...
Take your transmission cooler, sea-water cooling hoses off and physically look inside the transmission cooler to see if there is a lot of scaling...
Yes, that is true. BUT, it doesn't take a whole lot of un-burnt fuel to make black smoke sometimes. I lost a cylinder on a 12v71TI due to a split...
Just about every Ocean SF brand new, topped out a 30 knots back then WOT. That was their calling. It should cruise at 1950 rpms at 25 knots, the...
As for the engines in Giant, it could be they cannot get the parts to fix them and changing engine types would be a HUGE project which would mean...
Another reason the operating temperature will be between 30 and 90 deg C oil temp or such a large range, is because the seawater temp cooling the...
NO, the surveyor reports the boat cruises at 23 MPH, not "tops out at" WOT. I ran a 48' Ocean express about 6 years ago with the same 671's and...
I have used one on a Riviera that took 125volts 50amps. It had the 240volt 50 amp cord on the end, and you could plug it right into 240 volts and...
I would guess you'd be burning 45gph. I would say 520 gallons should be usable. I would run 10 hrs a day max, which should give you a fuel...
Possibly to allow for build-up in the heat exchanger as time goes on, old gear oil that some people neglect to change, etc etc.
I would check the sintered iron filter first, or just order new one(s) and change them, they're hard to clean effectively. After that, pull the...
Actually if I remember correctly most of the computer controlled cats, the gear temps run very very close to whatever the engine temp is. I would...
