You should be able to replace a cylinder head with the motor in it's normal position. You only need to raise the motor up if you are dropping the...
$4,000 for cylinder heads? Won't use a rebuilt head? Find a new mechanic. I rebuilt a 12v92TA just last summer. My engines uses the exact same...
Thanks everyone for the great feedback. Maybe a bit more technical than I envisioned but I think I'm following the logic anyway. I can get MTU or...
Thanks. Great info and prety impressive numbers for such a large vessel. How manh hours do you have on the engines? have you had any issues with...
I'm looking for feedback on MTU 10v2000 M93 or M94 engines (1599 hp). I rceieved some useful feedback on another thread but it was a more...
Sounds like a good set-up. I'm not sure what tye of 3 strand you use, but from what I've always seen, a double braid has more elongation than 3...
If it were me I would not use 3 strand nylon, I would use a double braid. When tying to a mooring you want lots of elacticity. If the double braid...
Thanks. I've requested some info on those from the seller. Of course I'm always a bit skeptical of why someone would have removed engines that...
Thanks Lew. That helps. I was thinking the strut could be bored for a 3" so thanks for confirming. I hadn't thought about larger raw water intakes...
That's what I figured, I'm just confirming. Did you have 2.5" originally and went up to 3" ? If so, do you recall if you were able to use the...
Thanks for all the great info. I am aware the taper is the weak spot so that's why I assumed the splines would be here. I'm looking at diesels...
So the splines replace the taper?
Yes- E rating or recreational/pleasure
Thank you for the info. That helps a lot.
I'm researching repower options and a little conflicted on shaft rating. I have 2.5" Aquamet 22 shafts. I was previously under the impression they...
I don't believe the model 12v2000's that you used are available any more. I would likely have to find a used set.
Yes. When. I had my 39' boat I was able to use a small lunch hook and pulled it with a buoy. But now I use (and need) a 75# anchor and with 100#'s...
I'm not really considering the 8v's. If I decide to stay with same hp I will almost certainly go with the CATs. Capt J I did do some quick looking...
The pot puller I got is for retrieving crab and shrimp pots. It is a Safe-T-Puller semi commercial unit rated for 300#'s. 110' per minute I...
Thanks Donzi 54 I have had an ongoing dialogue with Donzi 54 to get all of the info from his repower. He has been most helpful. His 12v2000's are...
