Making decent progress. All removals now complete. This was more challenging than expected. We found lots of abandoned cables and wires. Without...
I went with the ZF Smart Command controls system. This is actually what CAT recommended and I ordered it thru CAT along with the engines and ZF...
Engines, gears and all DDEC system items sold. Thank you!
I ended up ordering the Bluewater Legend 750 watermaker and the Seastar DC steering system. I really appreciate all the input and advice. I’m...
I do not have this info. I would think any authorized CAT Tech would have it though.
I think you are comparing to a different system. There is no display or button to activate. There also shouldn't be a delay. It's really no...
Come on CAPT J, of course I made sure it is appropriately rated. In fact, it’s rated for much larger boats. I could be wrong and the hoses are 3/8...
I don’t know if this is applicable to your issue but on my 50amp shore connection I had lots of trouble with the wiring to the shore power...
I’m leaning heavily toward the Blue Water Legend 750. It’s really a toss up between this and a Spectre. The BW has a few more features but main...

Yes, I would need to do the same. Would hope to only have to get to the components for occasional maintenance.
OK that makes sense now. Thank you!
Lew - are your membranes outboard of the stbd fish box then? Doesn't seem like the Spectra membranes with the pump being integral to the membranes...
I hold 240 gals and have done 3-4 day trips and managed not to run out. So 750 gpd is more than adequate. I'm only looking at a larger unit so...
I found a local dealer that sells the Blue Water units. Will be paying them a visit soon. After further measuring I cannot fit the complete...
I believe you are correct Lew. I don't have any current plans to do anything with the mufflers. I will check to see if there is something...
I’m putting same engines in my 54’ Donzi currently. You don’t hear about too many issues with these engines. Hope you find the problem soon.
Please update as you continue to work this issue. What year and hp are the C-18s? Also, for what its worth, on some commercial ships that we have...
They are under the cockpit in the Laz so no easier (or harder) now then another time. We’ll have a look at them and it is on my list to talk to...
Yes, new couplings. Couplings include the commercial style keeper plate for the shaft. I’m buying the whole package (shafts, props, couplings,etc)...
