Load at Idle in Neutral?

August 21, 2018 at 6:58 am 2004 QSC540s with the Diesel View displays showing 24% load on the port engine and 19% load on the starboard at idle in neutral. Also noticed fuel burn was worse than usual. What could be causing such a load in neutral at idle?

If they were spinning it would have been very slowly since I was anchored with the engines on all day (didn’t want to risk a battery failure before I have that figured out) and would have noticed if they were spinning enough to move the boat.Last Post by:

Cap with >15psi?

April 8, 2017 at 11:46 pm Possibly losing some coolant on stbd engine, QSC 540. Ā Some residue around the cap. Ā One suggestion has been to increase the psi of the cap from the 15 psi to 17-18 psi. Ā Would that increase the risk of other problems? Cap on there now is new.

Ā Some trips not an ounce is lost, and other trips close to a quart. Ā No correlation with running the engines hard or not. Ā Both caps are new but I can try switching.Last Post by:
