      September 12, 2019 at 11:25 am my starboard 6cta sounds ā€œlopieā€ or ā€œchatteryā€ at low rpms… from 750-1000rpms with and without a load. I canā€™t see the rpm gauge bouncing so itā€™s barely doing it. I just replaced injectors 40 hours ago and it did not do it before we did the injectors. The old ones were really dirty. I know Iā€™m getting clean fuel, itā€™s only one engine that is doing it. Any ideas what it could be? 2400 hours on engine

      August 20, 2019 at 8:59 pm Hello, Iā€™ve owned this boat for a couple years. Sheā€™s a harvest vessel and has been in the industry longer than Iā€™ve been alive. Anyways, I want to fix the issue Iā€™m having with crank case fumes. I canā€™t be having carbon monoxide hazards on a dive vessel. I looked on your sight and found the crank case breather kit, but it doesnā€™t incorporate where the fumes are coming from. The only breather I can see on my engine is in the picture below……

      August 25, 2019 at 8:27 am Our Envirovent 100% addresses this issue.. Do some more reading on the web site. Also, get back farther and take pics showing the entire engine –All sides, front, back, and exhaust. Tony
