I would be. People are constantly questioned on this forum. If you don’t have a mainstream opinion /question you are accused of working for a...
Do you have any pics of the the new boat to post?
Have you done compression tests on them at 4,000 hours to see if they were even close to allowable spec? The JT 892ta maxed at 735hp not 790 but...
The 8v92 at 735Hp is a 2000 hour motor if treated right, less if pushed hard imo. I had two and rebuilt both. never had any issues with them...
Im not looking to buy, but just check out and start to narrow down my next purchase.
thinking of making my way to one of those boat shows. Im in CA so I can only make it to one of them. I know FLIBS is way bigger, but im focused...
The no load on those engines is 2350 iirc. 2000 is quite a bit low. check turbos or after coolers.
I agree with dockmaster. it can be done but it is definitely cost prohibitive. a 54' Bert is prob $250k, add on at least $1 mill and you are at...
the AC fresh water pump on that boat will trip the breaker if the water tank drops below a certain level. There is no black water tank gauge, but...
I have a MTU 12v2000 M90. Does anyone know what diagnostic scanner I need to read and clear codes? There is a 6 pin connector. Will an OBD to 6...
what are you transmission temps at like 1850-1900 RPM?
What What rpm do you normally cruise at? I’m new to the 2000 series. I’m running around 1900 but 2000 might be optimal?
ya for sure. I’m running in 82-84F water temps lol.
Warning level is 212. At 1850 rpm I’m at 181 f. I have 12v2000 trying to find out if that is normal or if my thermostats are 182 or 175? At...
What are the operating coolant temps at 1900-2000? Does anyone know what temp thermostats they have? Assuming the 12v and 16v will be identical...
capt j is correct, usually as a cylinder loses compression that injector wont fire as strong as the rest of the cylinders. Place a screw driver...
checking the air box covers will get you an idea, but the only way to really be sure the condition of the rings is by doing a compression test....
Just buy a memory foam mattress from costco or amazon and cut it yourself. Or most upholstery guys have the blades to cut foam as well. From the...
sorry for the delay, but thanks to everyone for their input. I will let you know if i make progress on the boat.
I often wonder myself which route i will take if and or when it comes time to rebuild. Buying a low hour motor like someone else already...
