Do you mean their cores? I can't see how they could be isolated, being bolted to the external box. Which is indeed bonded with the rest of the...
I know that's what MAN suggests. My point was that I've yet to come across one single MAN installation where this was actually the case. And I'm...
Going a bit O/T now, and I apologize with the OP for this, but you are raising an interesting point. There is in fact quite a bit of confusion on...
My point exactly!
I'm not saying that your theory is wrong, but it's not like Cat is alone in that design. In my 17 years old MANs, whose CACs are also on top of...
I understand that this can be frustrating, but don't assume that whoever is placing an offer on a boat that you like before you can even think...
I'm almost sure that they only used Cummins 5.9 engines on that model, hence obviously with electronic levers. I also half remember that they used...
"Normal" is an adjective that it's very hard to apply to the pleasure boats market, which has always been a rollercoaster, if you look at it with...
Nothing against the MTU V10s, but ballpark weight and size is comparable to the MAN V12. And in principle, I'd rather have the 1650hp version of...

In your boots, I'd take the opportunity to install also a fresh water flush connection. It was discussed in this thread, from post #40 onward. God...
Why, don't you have shutdown buttons at each helm? Regardless, I'm afraid CR is correct: that's not something you can hope to troubleshoot over...
Well, every day is a school day, as the old saying goes. Thanks for enlightening me.
Anything that he can see on a laptop can only confirm that the governor (which is the one and only electronic bit in your otherwise mechanical...
I understand that in some cases dipsticks are not an option, but I guess you must have a pipe connection at the bottom of all your tanks, don't...
In one of the "pages" of the Cat LCD display, there is also the total fuel burnt through the whole engine life. If the owner kept a log of...
Your description sounds like you are talking of an Ethernet switch with RJ45 connectors for LAN cables. If that's what you've got onboard, I very...
Sight gauges. 100% accurate, I'd never trust anything else. Not the most convenient system admittedly, since you must go down the e/r (or wherever...
I tend to agree that turning fins off when anyone is swimming would be safer, but in my experience most owners / captains are happy with just...
I meant to comment on previous post but I forgot. Not sure of who you have in mind, Westport possibly? Anyway, there's actually something to be...
