The reason the number of "cases" is so low is because the US doesn't have enough tests. Most states have a few hundred at best and it takes two...
I'll get it sorted out with them. This was the first call and discussion about trials. I'll report back when we get closer and have a definitive plan.
You are correct MAPISM. The warranty validation is done at dock and sea trials. I've already been discussing with CAT. They have specific sensors...
$75k ++++ But to be fair we did virtually everything. Blowers, turbos, heads, bearings, cylinders/liners , replaced an exhaust manifold, etc, etc....
I would be very surprised if you can do a thorough rebuild of 12v92's for $36k per engine ($72k total). I did a complete rebuild of one of my...
Port Engine and gear: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Back to the Repower now........Port engine rigged in and coupled back to the the gear. We are doing final positioning on both engines and drilling...

STBD engine and gear is in the engine room. Gear was re-coupled to engine today. Photos in the engine room are not the greatest due to all the...
I agree with this totally! When I was looking for a boat I didn't think I wanted a teak cockpit deck. But that's what my Donzi had and I liked...
Yes, we are quite familiar with chockfast. We use it all the time on big engines, gears, pumps, etc. For this small application the 3/4” plates...
Yes, we are building the brackets with resilient mounts at mid point to be able to adjust up/down. We also have a 3/4” thick plate between the...
I hope you have better luck finding a H/E for your DD than I did. One of mine had a warped cover plate. We never did find replacements. Even the...
A few more pictures showing the new generator control panels in the salon (enclosure still to be be stained to match), the hydraulic steering and...
