    Jeanneau prestige 36 2001

    I agree, pull the inlet hose off and inspect. with just a small flick of the tip of your finger, you should be able to spin the propeller for a long time. if it doesnt spin, the bearing pack is gone or other debris may be fowling the turbo My buddy used to keep a pair of rebuilt turbos...

    Jeanneau prestige 36 2001

    Volvo uses both a supercharger for holeshot and a turbo for top end. Most of the time, the supercharger kicks out before the turbo spools up and the motor falls on its face..... Right as it's coming out of the hole It's a big complaint of Volvo diesel owners. And no, Volvo won't change the...

    building a mini speedboat

    every pound of weight you add to the boat takes away what you can put in the boat. so adding a deck, means you dont bring fishing gear, etc. the weight carrying capacity is determined by testing, or by the CFR 33, part 183. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-33/chapter-I/subchapter-S/part-183...

    Water in engine...looking for help

    pressure test the motor's water jacket. it should hold 15 psi that manifold looks like it may have froze. at a minimum, you need new exhaust manifolds.

    telltale

    you read wrong. muffs when the garden hose is turned on full will produce more pressure than your pump produces. no tell tale on muff means you didn't have the spigot on full, or you have an issue.
