44′ Tollycraft. We removed the original BTA5.9 M2 engines and replaced with two QSB5.9 380 HO, ZF gears, and Smartcraft instruments. We reused the ZF/Mathers controls and added a 7″ display on the flybridge and two 4″ displays at the lower station. The alternators are now controlled by Balmar regulators, with the stbd engine charging the 1150 cca start battery and the port alternator charging the house bank.
The port engine fuel pump was replaced before initial startup, but that engine had sat on the sales floor for 3 years. The sea trial went well, and passed all it’s perameters.
Now the engines throws a 2265 fuel pump fault on occasion. It’s usually the port engine, but not always. About 5 to 1 port to stbd. No other faults occure. The affected engine does go into guardion, but can be shutdown and restarted to operate normally. Again, no fuel pressure or low voltage faults. My local Cummins distributor sent someone up, and he couldn’t find anything he could really point to. He ended up blaming it on the start battery dispite the engines cranking normally and the lack of any low voltage faults.
I’m running low on ideas, and my customer would like to have his boat. Any ideas?
