Re: Here's one for the experts!
Okay, here is the story, working on it some today - guy just wants it checked, because it isn't sounding right and it is about a year since the last engine was replaced. It had 2 OMC engines installed in 97 (2 months apart) and then 2 more remanufactured ones in the last 2 years.<br /><br />Only code in computer is telling us it is running a little cold (will check tomorrow to see if the thermostats have been removed) which would retard the timing some. Will also talk with the owner tomorrow to see if it was rings, bearings, or what the original problems were.<br /><br />It is a 27 foot boat and has 21 pitch props, thinking that it might be lugging down too much - should probably have around 17's???? Just a guess. Warranty is about to run out on the last engine, so that is why he is wanting to know if it is sound or not. Which leaves me to wonder why they engines have gone in the first place.<br /><br />Boat has obviously been used in the ocean, but seems to be well maintained. The tachs are acurate, so shouldn't be a problem with over revving. No hour gage, so no way of knowing the hours logged, but doesn't look like it is used in a continuous fashion. Anyway, this is a curious boat and know the owner has us thinging hard!
