So I have twin 3126’s and they ended the season running well. Being that these turbos are nearly 25 years old,I have been thinking of removing them and bringing them in for inspection/rebuild. I do not have boost gauges installed, so other than, no soot and no rpm issues , I think they are...

After gaining some experience sewing the upholstery in my 1998 450 I made the bold statement to some boating friends that I think I could sew my own winter cover. After many beers, and having talked about it so much, I had to put my words to action. The marina I winter store with has a...

So I started to see a sheen from generator exhaust. Thinking it maybe a leaky injector. Seems to happen once the devices like refrigerator have gotten cold, and hot water heater has warmed. Like when the amperage draw isn’t as great. Found part number of 30538, the westerbeke part, then...

Generator is original to my 98 450 Sundancer. Yesterday was running the generator , powering the salon air and forward stateroom air along with the refrigerator. When I arrived at my destination I went in to the cabin and didn’t feel much air conditioning. Generator was running but less then...

I have had an intermittent issue over the last 2 weeks. The oil pressure alarm triggers on my starboard side, or at other times it will not allow the engine to start. Other times the boat runs fine, oil pressure steady at 50psi, for hours at a time. I am leaning towards the pressure switch as...

I have two cat 3126ta in my 450 da and I am trying to understand the water flow path beginning at the raw water intake through the Cooling system. I had originally believed that the water enters through the raw water pump then on to the heat exchanger then to the aftercooler onward to the...

I was talking with my father in law he is Grady white owner. When he runs his boat and does not have the generator running, he was told to close the valves bring the sea water into the generator system. Is that something that others currently do with your sea rays? I usually run my generator...
