Thanks but I’m not going to add flanges to my shaft logs or buy seals that are not readily available and serviceable in the U.S. There are easier...
Did you try to manually put it in forward? This will tell you if you lost signal or similar issue not internal to the trans.
I don’t think the tube is clogged. We checked it when we replaced the seal and it was clear. But that being said I’m not taking anything for...
I had some flow testing done today. The straight supply to the seal from one engine is about 2 gpm. With one engine running, the supply to the...
Ah-OK. Yeah that would be a little unsettling. I thought perhaps your expectations might be unrealistic. Your description doesn't sound that way...
The PSS seals look like they have only one port on each seal. Are you saying you have Tee fitting in each supply line going to the other side?
Can you expand on what you said in your initial post and what you mean by "acceptable heading control" ? Are you trying to hold a straight line...
I was just looking at the Tides online. They even show them plumbed with a crossover line right online. My first glance through their catalog and...
We pulled the hose off the seal coming from the engine and fired them up and there is significant flow going to the seal. We also verified no...
Lew - what brand seals are you running? My previous seals were plumbed the same way and I never had an issue either. I'm already seeing signs...
How do others have their seals plumbed? Tee lines or crossovers? Perhaps most others have a single port so you just tee them together?
Following up on this issue. I sent the failed seal back to Lasdrop for their input. They inspected and said it is apparent the seal overheated. I...
You said it is a "NEW" boat. Where's your dealer? They should be helping you with this
So here’s the latest; I finally got another quote and it was almost half at 1.1% (vs. 2%) and the deductible is 2% vs 5% . So just based on...
I was wondering about the 16v in a 54' as well and that was odd. If they are 12v, then can be repowered by C-18's like I did but still going to be...
what year is your Bert? I wasn’t suggesting you could buy a new boat for same, especially a bigger 61. But if you have 16v92s you must be a mid...
I think your numbers are off a bit. Sounds like you might be using 12v92 specs. A 16v92 should be more like 1400hp depending on year and...
Can’t really compare an excavator to a yacht. As you mentioned, access is very different. Then your talking two engines,not one. And I don’t think...
Lots on your coast that can do the job. You’ll probably spend more than just buying a newer boat with newer engines, gen, electronics, etc already...
You have lots of options for engines depending on your preference and what you are trying to achieve. CAT C-32s would be a great option. Cost will...
