I too was concerned the much harder bearing would not do as well with abrasives like sand in the mix when in operation. That's not to say it isn't...
We've had them come already installed on some custom cast struts and I can't say I've seen much difference in wear or longevity compared to...
The vibration and running angle are two different animals. Has the shaft been checked with a dial indicator? You said the cutlass bearing was...
If the pump just stops working that would be the case but many times they fail a little more spectacularly and you find a fountain in your engine...
You are correct in that most pumps have check valves on their outlets. The reason we add an external valve (usually a ball type) is to be able to...
Here's a setup I did with a Stingray 240VAC pump primary and a Jabsco Dual-Max 12VDC as backup (it's kind of lost behind the hose). Both pumps...
Darn it, now I have to clean my keyboard again Marmot!!!:D I suspect your dripless housings needed more than just a lip seal replacement. If...
One of the first things diesel engine "hot rodders" will do to tweak performance. In my experience I've seen an increase in performance about 70%...
Ha! We had a lot of things at our house bought out of the S&H catalog! Other than delivering newpapers, my first "real" job was pumping gas too,...
The oil companies are using it against him? :eek: All along I thought it was the media, what was I thinking. I have spent quite some time in...
I certainly hope that smiley face was meant to include the "too cheap" comment as well as the reference to sailing yachts! While the expense of...
Like anything on a boat, quality isn't cheap. I wouldn't glass strips, they will leave humps that will print through whatever you put on top, even...
A little more info would be helpful. Is it external or internal is a big question and what is the deck material, single skin or cored composite?...
If you ever get the chance go to a boat drag event. The same top fuel engines in a 18' hydro are even more impressive, at least to us...
To truly detune one for fuel savings isn't a simple job and certainly more effort than justifiable for a single trip. If you wanted to permanently...
I would think she should have 16" exhust installed for the 16V92's which should be sufficient for the C32-A's. As a last resort I know many...
The CAT at 32.1 litres is a larger displacement than the 16V92's 24.1L but the CAT is a four stroke so as you know it only ingests a cylinder full...
The four stroke C-32A's should definitely flow less air than the two stroke Detriots so the exhaust should be fine. Not sure what gear ratio you...
At those horsepower ratings you are referring to the C32 ACERT engines vs. the "standard" C32 which is 1650mhp. The ACERT is based on a completely...
That looks like someone added an aluminum bushing to adjust the wheel height. The H-42 has a straight end, not tapered and the keyway is longer...
