Nope. On the older M91, a leak would send fluid into the engine unlike a standard PTO
Jastram steering, currently with an engine driven pump on each 16V2000 M91 never gave it much thoughts until doing my preflight before going to...
I use lead acid on my boat, easy access and smart chargers. I top them off every two months. I get 4 to 5 years which is the same I get from AGMs...
Again the problem is that you can’t extinguish lithium battery fires with conventional agents. I just read a report of a Tesla going up in smoke...
just read a report from the Golden Globe Race (solo round the world) mentioning the Imoca fire and explaining that this is why they don’t allow...
Injection pumps going in and connected.
One of the Imocas engaged in the transatlantic race Route du Rhum burned and sank yesterday. Skipper was rescued by container ship Battery...
Turbos are on
If you operate in shallow water like we do, propspeed will be sandblasted off in no time. That why I don’t use it… we often maneuver with a couple...

I ve seen pictures of engines being pulled out of the hull sides. The glassing/welding/painting after the work isn’t the biggest worry. To me it...
Actually these are not 4x4s but … 6x6s! these guys have worked on 92s and I m sure 71s too. And yes every part gets cleaned with clean shop...
All the heads are torqued. First specified torque plus a quarter turn with a LONG wrench. Or 2 quarter turns… I forgot which. Good thing I only...
Indeed this engine room is pleasure to be in. Having suffered for years in smaller boats i really enjoy it :). re 16V396s I was talking to the...
I looked at extended warranties 6 years ago for the C32s of the 84 I ran. Ridiculously expensive. We put 2000+ hours on them in 5 years, trouble...
The lack of service records is why the current owners got such a great deal, even considering the $500k spent on both engines plus another $50/60k...
