And that is precisely the point ... the garbage truck engine sees maximum torque and horsepower swing between idle and maximum loading every few...
Myth Alert Consider doing the same thing if you suspend the car so the tires are in the water. Just makes a bunch of froth doesn't it? A marine...
Are you saying that the propulsion system imposes more stress on the boat when operating at less than full power ?
All the above is precisely why you should have a MAN tech verify the engines are operating within tolerances. Unless you have a way to connect...
Thanks. Those engines have a boost control system that uses the waste gate to bleed off exhaust now the question is, is the wastegate actually...
In a roundabout way ... If the wastegate is leaking badly the turbocharger will not recover as much energy from the reduced exhaust flow. This...
Just Google SS Princess May and you will find no end of references to the event.
Sometimes you just get lucky ... [ATTACH]
Still no updates on this boat?
There was a great deal of discussion about exactly that when the thing became public. Some of it is in the early pages of this thread.

Oh geez ... talk about spinning heads! Have you ever welded stainless by any method? Do you really really, honestly believe the "black" color...
Geez, I thought the cap was saying green bronze is bad because it is caused by electrolysis or galvanic action because both are the same thing and...
"Electrolytic corrosion results from the action of an imposed direct current. Galvanic corrosion results from self induced currents which in turn...
The problem with many readers is they want a simple yes or no to a question that has so many variables that the question itself is invalid. Any...
Just for fun let's do another debunk session: "Drive couplings, to name one when the props are dragging the boat to idle speed from 20+ knots...
Hugo Stamp in Fort Lauderdale is a dealer. Rather than imagine, why not just call and ask them about parts availability? I've seen a lot of new...
No, and if that is all you have taken away from the discussion then you should try reading posts #25 and #30 again. Then go back and re-read the...

The subject is (was) rapid reduction of power from max to idle. It is exactly what those same engines and turbos do a thousand times a day in...
