Which Alternator for 2005 QSM11 670
This topic has 13 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by
4 years ago June 4, 2019 at 1:59 pm I believe I have a bad alternator on my QSM11 670. I’m not at the boat right now. I’d like to order a new alternator but I’m not exactly sure what I need. Does anyone know off hand which alternator I need for a 2005 QSM11 670? Dumb question but is this something that would be in stock at an auto parts store? It’s going to be a few days before I can get to the boat so I’d love to show up with the part in hand. T…

October 4, 2017 at 6:18 am I Have a 96 Searay with twin 6CTA Cummins. I find fuel in the bilge after shutdown and have been unable to locate the source. I can’t see any evidence of fuel coming from the tanks, water seperators, fuel lines to or from the engine or filters. Anyone else experience this?

Turbo maintenance advice needed.

6 years ago September 22, 2017 at 5:11 pm Hello all, I’ve got QSM11’s, 660 hp. 1276 hours. I’m doing my routine inspection of the engines and found that both air cleaners were a little dirty. Not bad since the last cleaning and re-oiling was done 260 hours ago (18 months). I normally check the air cleaners and turbos for wear every 100 or so hours. During my inspection I noticed a small amount of soot on the end of the blades of the turbos. I’ve cleaned, oiled…

Rectorseal 5 on all engine hoses

6 years ago May 9, 2017 at 8:29 pm I know this topic has been discussed many times before and all indications tell me that Blue #5 is the trick stuffĀ for hosesĀ .Ā I have a set from TonyĀ and am ready to install this week. I get it ,Ā but it seems like it would make the hoses slippery on the connections and more prone to blow off than a dry connection. What am I missing here ?Ā Trying to avoid a ” Jackpot “ Thanks

7 years ago March 3, 2017 at 8:15 pm Hi, I changed my current SmartCraft 5000 (2003 version 1.0) to a NOS 2006, version 3.3. After replacing the display I noticed it offered more information like manifold temp, load, gear temp. My question is this: I didn’t have this information on my old SmartCraft so apparently I don’t have the sensors, can I install /adapt the sensors and wiring to the new SmartCraft display or am I stuck with the information I had on the old display…

7 years ago December 9, 2016 at 7:02 pm Hi Tony, Hi Rob, I need to find written instructions regarding the “manual” shifting of my ZF 325IV gears. If you can point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it. I’ve searched the internet, you tube, etc, etc. Can’t find anything, but I know it can be done. The reason I need to know is because a friend of mine was running about 100 miles offshore when his captain was not able to shift his port side ZF gear i…
