Yeah. I think I am just going to roll with it for now as is. Do you know what percentage load at cruise should be? See attached pic of how I am running. I have to see how that fuel burn is calculated because a weird thing is at idle in the slip the motor in question stbd is at .03 and the port...
Update on this. So I found the stock 22x27 props were bent flat a bit on some fins, stbd worse than the port. I picked up a set of 22x25 props that are Tienbridge and have way more surface area. The fuel burn went down but now the opposite motor burns like a gallon more fuel per hour. Not sure...
Yeah, I plan on doing all the maintenance in Sept. I am going to do all the cooling system. I did notice there was a little play in the cutlass bearings, visually the props looked ok but until they are scanned there is no way to tell. I know the previous owner did do the props about 4 years ago.
These motors only show fuel burn on the smart craft, no load readings. The port is showing higher burn rate as it does correspond with the amount I had to add to fill. I did add EGT's and that motor also runs a little higher, low 700's. That motor also has a higher coolant temp. I have to do...
Took a trip 3 hours each way with my 05-420. The smart craft showed the port motor burning more fuel per hr. I was full when I left, filled up upon return so the real numbers of used fuel were 84 gallons for the port, 76 gallons for the stbd + genny running on that tank as well. Genny was on the...
I have no volts to one of my air intake heater. I only have 12v coming in from the power feed to the solenoids. Something is not triggering it to turn on. Any ideas where to look? Are there fuses? Thanks. Cummins 480ce
Has anyone installed the Yacht ID sensors on an axiom pro? I got one to read under air temp but I can only get the other one to read using water temp. Can you get the sensors to read under any other setting? I was wondering if there is a way to get them to say EGT?
Possibly buying an 05 420 from a friend with 480ce motors. Boat has 1150 hrs on it, he got it with 1000. The only history I have is a 1000 hr service done by Cummins when he got it 4 years ago. After reading and researching i am a little leary of these motors. Props are original size 22x27, has...
Hello, I am looking to borrow or rent a prop removal tool for 1 1/2 shafts. I don't see to find anything reasonable online. I see those c-clamp stlye ones but they don't go big enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am going to be in Brick, NJ Sat. Bent strut, so its all got to...
I am looking into maybe changing props. I have a 2000 340 Sundancer with 454 MPI 310 HP. Right now I went wide open and my max RPM is 4650 and top speed is 30 MPH. This is with just me and over a 1/4, less than 1/2 tank of fuel. Bottom was pretty clean, was a slight head wind. Tabs made no...
