that's right the photos I posted are of cr900 head and valves
So our mechanic recommended pulling all the heads and sending them to TX for inspection as that is the only way to put eyes on the valves and...
The first photo is the head with the circled exhaust valve that was measuring very high during the valve lashing. The second is the worn valve....
Mod Edit: images reduced to fit our format. Please read the rules on image sizes.
Update: this wedge has made some difference in a loaded condition running, the boat does have some bow steer when its light so I back off tab to...
Just expect more than you think to bring any overdue MAN or any marine diesel back to good condition. We had our 2848-423 (CR900's) serviced back...

We got our 43FB about 2 years ago as well, very pleased with the MAN CR900's in that boat. We came from an older hatteras with Detroits so a big...
Definitely can be unsafe if too much but it feels like the boat needs a few more inches of tab to get it to run better. We put a 1,050lb bladder...
It's a 43Cabo FB I'll have to measure how much the tab goes down when we pull it out in a few months. You know that feeling when a boat gets up on...
Have any 43FB owners changed to larger trim tabs or installed wedges between the tab and ram to give them more downward angle? I've noticed the...
