No reason to worry. The factory self destruction timing on those engines is set at 6000 hours, so obviously someone already hacked it, and you can...
Your engines belong to the so-called EDC family, which were produced for just a few years as a development from the previous fully mechanical...
What do you mean "after" 5 hours? I assume they are smokey all the time, because if they aren't for 5 hours and they become smokey only after such...
No idea of who/when installed those stabs on your boat, and how they performed. But frankly, a 170 series system seems so badly undersized that...
Whoa, the electronic control units submerged?!? Good luck with that! I can send you the PDF of the MMDS repair manual if you wish - just pm me...
Hi PacBlue, been a while since your last posts, welcome back. I'm surely not alone in missing your no-nonsense contributions to technical debates!
Sounds great, congrats! What is the corresponding RPM, out curiosity?
Don't worry, you're losing nothing by being unable to consider the SK. In boats like yours, fins are waaaaay better. All the best for your...
In the OP boots, I'd have already started to discuss what looks like a win-win deal. From his viewpoint, fetching some money from the still good...
Sensible suggestion, if we were talking of a 40 feet center console. On a 80' Burger, I wouldn't even consider a stabilizing system whose...
Absolutely. But I'm skeptic that the cost difference vs. replacing just the fin actuators isn't relevant. In fact, I believe that moving up from a...
Jeez... Those actuators are in awful conditions indeed, how old is the boat? A few comments, anyhow. 1) regardless of boat age, I have a funny...
If as I understand the OP wants an aluminum hull, to my knowledge these are the best: https://highfieldnorthamerica.com/
Yup, that's certainly a possibility. But upon activation, shouldn't it shut down both sides? Tom only mentioned port engine...
Before hoping to find a solution to such problem on a forum, after a technician specifically trained to work on your engines proved useless, I...
Don't forget countless fishing trawlers. Which obviously are no Panamax stuff, but in several ways (like size, first and foremost) are more...
Just curious, what sort of range can you get out of a 19' stick? With just a roll bar mounted 5', the last time I tried a radio check with the CG,...
Well, the fact that there are folks out there who crossed the Atlantic on rowing boats contradicts that notion even more strongly... :) I think...
I meant to say previously, but I forgot. Beware, the rationale behind that valve is NOT reducing startup smoke, as mentioned in the old post...
You don't need any repair kit. It's sufficient to strip the pipe and replace its special connecting screw with a plain vanilla screw. The only...
