I plan to do a rebuild even if I am fortunate enough to get thru the season. There is clearly something gone wrong in the trans and at minimum I...
Had the boat taken out and ran for a good 2 hours this afternoon. Port temp was 152 and Stbd was steady at 180. Pressure good on both sides. Upon...
Water flow is good but it is getting warm. Confirmed temp difference with a temp gun to make sure it was not just a sender issue. Screen is being...
Port was running about 108 degrees and Stbd was 142 when we shut down. Again this was at the dock, idling at 500 rpm in gear. Previously both...
We put the boat in the water after winter storage. All was well except stbd gear oil temp was running a little high. Pulled the dipstick to find...

Well if it's worked for a long time I guess you keep going with it. But I would not want different filter styles. One turbo and air inlet feeds...
So you run Airseps on one engine and OEM style filters on the other?
Thank you - much appreciated!
Any chance you have a product name or part# for the material? I would like to try to find some for my engine room.
You buy the tube as part of the package. It is properly sized for the thruster and has the mounting flanges built-in. There are minimum tube...
