- 450 DA Sundancer running CAT 3126
It's showtime folks !
Will close today or tomorrow on a new to me 1996 450DA
She has a Kohler 9EOZD genny with 150 (not a misprint) yes 150 hours
The unit features a sound enclosure.
Pre-purchase oil sample shows some coolant in the oil.
Boat has spent its entire life in a warm climate, so freeze damage is not a concern
Likely the required coolant changes were ignored and I am expecting to change the head gasket and send the head off to be magnafluxed.
Despite my best efforts, even on Boat Diesel, I've not found much info on this.
Anyone here had a similar experience?
Am I going to miss my Northern Lights 673 ?
BEST !
