 |
| After the steam cleaning, we ground, patched,
sealed and painted w/ gel coat and 2-part epoxy. We thought it needed it! |
New shaft logs and AQ-22
shafts..We had to stay w/ 1.5" diameter as everyone has $$ limits. |
|
| After all the prep work was done, the
lift-in and placement was easy. BTW, we chose the Cummins 370 Diamonds
for many reasons. Good fit, loads of power, great track record and the
owner was all ready sure of Cummins reliability, service and support. |
 |
 |
| Even I get to have some fun once
in awhile. |
Frank says that going down is always easier. |
 |
 |
|
| Below are a few pictures from around the
new engine room.. Don't ask me why there was still an old hose hanging around
in one of those pics. |
 |
| The owner opted for PSS dripless seals.
Not my favorite, but do a good job if installed and adjusted with care. |
|
 |
| Sea strainers, deck support
and coolant overflow bottles tucked in a small area. |
|
 |
 |
| Front mounts on the 370 Diamonds.. Much better access
than stock brackets that are in the way of "everything". |
|
 |
 |
| We used full-length aluminum rails with weldments to
accommodate the Clark Isolator mounts. |
|
 |
 |
Remounted "last chance fuel filter" on bell
housing using stock fuel lines.
Why is that funky head hose still there?
I thought I got rid of that. |
|
 |
| The Battery switches/ DC main distribution
panel. |
|
 |
 |
These two pics show the "heater"
hook-ups on a "B" series Cummins.
Always use high quality fittings and valves to isolate your off engine water
heater should the need arise. |
|
 |
| Port exhaust with a very tight 180 degree
dry bend and water by-pass that reduces exhaust back pressure and gives
a visual reference of water flow out the side of the vessel. The exhaust
outlets are under the swim step and not very visible. |
 |
 |
|
 |
| New aluminum framing and light weight
1" plywood floors that lift very easy. |
