Modern clutches have their own oil. My 12V71s have 4, 2 for each head. but that's a 60 year old design. But my oil coolers are first after the...
Hang on. Back with fresh refreshments. While pouring I remembered something; I read somewhere a while back, MAN V8-900 had dual and different...
I may have been distracted with my last clutch cooling thought. Usually clutches are raw water cooled thru their own H/E. Looking again at the O...
Any wood or plate where the fish chair would go?
Huummmmm. Looks like balsa to me. Interesting.
Head seals are a fowl. DD oil coolers are pretty solid. Yours may be external and easily checked but doubt it. Pull all side covers off and ensure...
WHOOW That looks great. What was the final finish coatings?
Balsa in the deck???
Not a MTU guy. We usually call in FDDA when we get a rare MTU call (We do work on Series 60s ourselves). I do find it interesting that the...

The can has the check/bleed valve built to the bottom of it. From there, two lines go to the steering ram. Air valve (tire valve) and pressure...
That is the old Hynautic system taken over by SeaStar. I do question some of your notes but your tech has eyes on and we don't. What is your...
To much hidden copper that is probably still in great shape. I have re-plumbed boats before (including mine) in the past for the steering system....
Now, for the fix; The copper lines comes from the helm(s) to the stern. They would terminate to a alloy block, then hoses to the steering ram. How...
Plastic or Pex is a No No. There is a synthetic tube that is available but not recommended by me. Copper or hydrolic hose is where you want to go....
