    Raw water strainer leaking

    I've got a ‘97 express cruiser (if that helps for you knowledge), but that does seem 100% plausible as my engine room is laid out as you described and I imagine this is what is happening to me as well. I'll let you know how I make out!

    Hello all, Just curious if any has/has installed the Walker AirSep Silencer kit on 3116s and if the reduction of the turbo whine is worth the cost. Thx

    Raw water strainer leaking

    This probably sounds like a stupid question but if the water is still leaking when I close the shutoff, how can I get the grease in there?

    Raw water strainer leaking

    I've got a '97 Express Cruiser and I'm getting a slow, but constant drip from my port water strainer. I shut the valve and removed the canister only to find that the shutoff itself wouldn't completely stop the water. I replaced the cork gasket with a new one...the leak remained. I tried using...

    Gel Batteries or something else?

    Yes, I was just having a look at the original parts manual and it lists 'Battery - Group 27 Douglas'. Looks like that's going to be the way I need to go, at least from a cost standpoint.

    Gel Batteries or something else?

    I've got a 1997 370 Express Cruiser with 8G8D gel batteries (12v 225Ah 1150CCA) and my starboard one has tested poorly and needs replacing. I figure if I change one, the other isn't far behind (tested slightly better), however, I'm in Bermuda and the availability and cost for a new one is...

    Has anyone replaced their gel batteries with another option? I've got 8G8Ds and my starboard one has tested poorly and needs replacing, but I figure if I change one, the other isn't far behind (tested slightly better). Looking for options...

    Even though the engine runs normally with the racor bypassed completely? I have noticed the vacuum gauge does register when I put a vacuum pump on the engine side to pull fuel into the racor. However, the indicator drops back to zero once the fuel fill the glass.

    Not quite, it won't run with any racor on it, but does run without the racor. Yes, I did have a previous battle with that valve knob, but I can confirm it is in the run position.

    I have swapped around the primer pump and the issue still persists, unfortunately. I'll have a check on the vent as I've flipped over the selectors and the issue remains. It runs without the racor so I don't know how it could be the vent or the pump. Running out of ideas...and sanity

    Official Caterpillar3116/3126 Thread

    Hello all, I've got a '97 Express Cruiser with 3116s and I'm having fuel flow issues on the port engine. Long story short, I've swapped around the racors from the starboard and generator to the port, and the problem persists. I've taken the fuel hose from the engine side of the racor directly...

    Hi everyone, back with another question! I'm looking for the fuses for the bilge pumps. I had to get a little creative with the wiring since my 2 aft ones weren't turning on and they say they're 8 amp fuses. Last thing I want is for the fuse to pop right when I'd need them the most!

    New owner here! :-) Speaking of the wiper motor, can anyone tell me how/where you access the port wiper motor? Mine needs replacing and I haven't the slightest where it (or the starboard) is located. Same goes for the weak ass horn that I want to be replaced as well.
