I guess by GFI you actually mean that your marina installed a GFCI device (Amps are irrelevant in this respect) in a pedestal which previously had...
I can confirm that there's absolutely nothing electronic in the Cat 3116. In the event of a catastrophic electric system failure, your only engine...
I meant to mention this, but I forgot - just as another small reminder for the OP: Beware, it's not only the angle but also the length of the...
You said they are V10 engines - out od idle curiosity, 820, 1050 or 1100?
Nope, they were already turbocharged. Little I knew back then about good or bad engines, and their not so brilliant reputation among Cats. BTW,...
In my old lady, also 3116 powered but of 1995 vintage, they were yellow. My understanding is that up to the mid/late 90s yellow was standard, and...
+1 to all that. Having said all what I just said, my preferred way to check oil is before rather than after running the boat. Which can mean...
Since you asked for "any" advise, here's mine, with the premise that I wouldn't blame you for laughing at it. But is's based on 6 years of...
I'd rather call them the Bayliners of the Med. With all due respect for Bayliner......:)
Amen to that. And just in case someone might raise the objection, nope, not even brand new boats "need nothing". A boat that needs nothing is the...
Apropos of Yachtworld, am I the only one to find it much, much worse than it used to be not many years ago? I rarely look at it these days, but...
Very nice job, but what's the size of those small shells you're talking about? I would have thought that anything small enough to pass through the...
Yeah, sorry for the previous joke, I just couldn't resist following up your idea of self-desrtucting engines. :D Back to the point, I'm far from...
No reason to worry. The factory self destruction timing on those engines is set at 6000 hours, so obviously someone already hacked it, and you can...
Your engines belong to the so-called EDC family, which were produced for just a few years as a development from the previous fully mechanical...
What do you mean "after" 5 hours? I assume they are smokey all the time, because if they aren't for 5 hours and they become smokey only after such...
No idea of who/when installed those stabs on your boat, and how they performed. But frankly, a 170 series system seems so badly undersized that...
Whoa, the electronic control units submerged?!? Good luck with that! I can send you the PDF of the MMDS repair manual if you wish - just pm me...
Hi PacBlue, been a while since your last posts, welcome back. I'm surely not alone in missing your no-nonsense contributions to technical debates!
Sounds great, congrats! What is the corresponding RPM, out curiosity?
