Good afternoon together,
I am since 2 Month the proud owner of a steel yacht build in 1974, repower in 2000 with ZF Transmission and 2 Cummins 6BT 180HP Rated.
the engines were in the last 11 years never used and made in the years after the repower roughly 400 hours each.
As i am new to boats in general and Cummins engines as well i have some questions.
first i start with the most easy one. When we are cruising with the ship with RPMs around 1900 the ship makes 11.2 knots. I cant get the RPMs higher as the Trust levers are touching the Area where they are mounted on, means they are full flat out. If i push them a little more, the engines go on 2000 but the levers always come back. When i am not in gear, the engines rev up to 2.200 rpms but not higher.
how can i fine tune my throttle wires on the engines? Is there maybe already a topic about it?Attached a pic from my boat. i will make tomorrow pics from the different lever positions.
