Hi Guys, I have a pair of 1997 3126 MUI 420Hp cats. I purchased the vessel in Feb, it was a lake boat its whole life > now in salt water. They run great, I am super happy with the engines. 1050 Hrs Each I Have been trying to learn as much as I can about these puppies and how to keep...

Well folks its finally come to that time where I have the boat listed for sale... Ive had offers at 130k. Its up at 150. Time to upgrade.

New coil and new wires sorted out my ignition issues.. I also ended up just by passing the heater hose lines that run to my hot water tank on the port side. They were proving to be quite the liability and i dont have time to run new heater hose at the moment.
