I’ve been a member here for a long time. I owned a 2003.5 Sundancer 340 and loved that boat. In December of 2001 I sold it and recently purchased a 2003 Mikelson 50. It is powered by Cummins 480 CE’s. Surveys and compression tests all came out well, but I’m learning diesels for the first time. This forum is hands down levels above any other boating forum, so I’m back here because I missed it and the knowledge base is so high. First question for anyone who has these engines, if I swap out the filters in the racors on a trip, do the engines need to be bled and if so, can anyone outline the process for me? I don’t see the pumps to do so. Thank you in advance as I try to learn these new power plants and happy boating!
