Do you have any evidence of a raw water leak near the water pump or elsewhere in the area? Isn’t the raw water pump gear driven on the 3412?...
First thing I would do is drain the oil to see what you have. That will tell you if you have too much and what you have in there. Sure it could...
Sounds like you have water in there. Pretty much the only thing that can explain the high oil level besides diesel but you d have smelled the...
I ll take Cats 3412s or 3412Es over pretty much much anything. Bulletproof and with after coolers designed when Cat was still abalone to design...
They used to give 50% off on a new pump when out of warranty. You only had to return the sticker with serial number.
Look up the boat name in the USCG database and send a letter to the owner explaining his broker refused to present the offer. Where is the...
What a shame, she was a good looking boat. Tom Fexas designed, Palmer Johnson built MY Time. [ATTACH]
Carver? Sorry I would pass. the 46 Maxum was a very nice boat and pretty well built. Back in 99 I bought a new 37 Maxxum which was part of the...
So it has power and it runs. Good. Try the purging I mentioned or look up the detailed video on their website. the Mach 5 is probably the best...
Breaker on? Power light on the pump on? Fault/error light flashing? Have you turned the breaker off and on? Most problem with these pumps are...
RPM affects frequency not voltage. Voltage is usually regulated by the voltage regulator which should be adjustable. Don’t mess with RPM as your...
The VF should be pretty straightforward and you should have a breaker on the DC panel. Maybe Viking got lazy and used a single breaker for all the...
A gauge is a false sense of security. I prefer having a visual way of confirming fuel, either sight gauges for elevated tanks or a calibrated...
None of the cat powered boats i ve run had fuel gauge data in the Cat display and I don’t even understand why you would want that anyway. An...
In theory a seller can’t back out of contract without compensation. Had he done that after survey he would have been liable for the costs of the...
With an LRC they definitely needs something bigger than 10’. Smaller dinghies don’t have much storage for PFDs, anchor and rode etc.
I don’t think the issues are related. The crack on the FB is either a manufacturing defect (too thin, poor lay up etc) or someone overloaded that...
10’ is small, assuming we re talking classic 58, there is room for a 12 footer. Easily. we have a 15’ walker bay on the boat i run. 6 years old...
The manuals for the cats I ve tun (3412Es and C32s) have all service intervals in hours or fuel used which ever comes first. the best tool to...
First of all are you sure the bottom especially the running gear is clean? It takes very little growth of the props to loose a couple of hundred...
