And now you know.The simple things will get us all ever now and then.Glad you got her going.

Around those parts Eastern Canada most use no 30 non detergent oil in bw trannys 2-1 2.57 -1 2.9 -1 with good results.Softer shifts and prolonged oil changes.Thats for diesels under 3000 rpm.If you have heat problem or slipping cluthes thats different story.Hope you track down down your...

I have Perkins 6 354.4. On my panel there are 3 identical push buttons.Start Stop and third one is for the 'Flamethrower',a cold start device thats in the intake manifold.No glow plugs.If yours is a light and not a push button then I have no idea.

Not trying to start argument but if you have electrolysis aboard a boat (most do ) then the zinc between tranny coupling and stuffing box may not be secure.Still think the rubber hose thing is a great idea.Do not come down too hard on me Sunchaser. LOL

I think this contraption is great idea.I have seen it before.If going astern and your shaft lets go from tranny coupling this will save your prop and rudder.This previous owner was thinking the right things.

Could be the damper plate that blew apart.

Couple days ago a fellow fisherman steams 7 hours to home port to unload crab catch.Shuts down down engine to unload as usual and the engine will not restart.Seems like injection pump is gone.Lift pump is good ,fuel solenoid is good.4 grand for a rebuilt injection pump.It seems excessive to me.

If you have the CAV injection pump there is a screen (filter ) in the pump.Where the inlet line bolts onto pump.Just a thought.Have seen then foulded before.

Hammerlock link.Check it out.Used on commercial boats for eons.Might not be in local hardware store but they are around.

Oil sender or bad gage.I recently had problem with oil gage maxing out.It was oil gage.Bought new one but oil gage read double what it should be .Bought another sender with different ohm reading and it worked fine.Apparently the oil sender has to match the oil gage.Your problem could be...

Bilge pump switch. After 18 hour crab trip (next day) I top up with with fuel,check engine oil, tranny, coolant,hydraulic oil , steering fluid etc.I check float switch by raising switch a few times.Perfect.I have 3 aboard, Then I heard a pump running without water in bilge and smoke coming from...

Like rwidman said ,Check your pumps.Over the years I have seen many Rul- pumps (1500-2000-3700) fail with electrolysis at the stainless motor shaft and the impeller. Check your impeller shaft.Believe me, they can eat away.

Its like psneeld said all depends on your setup.I have dry exhaust Perkins 63544 and the coolant pump on engine takes care off the keel cooler.If I had wet exhaust then I would need raw water pump.

If you have space then 2 screwdrivers will usually get the impeller.Put electrical tape or piece old fuel line on screwdrivers where it makes contact with pump housing.I have seen a fellow use a heat gun on a stubborn one (the brass bushing will expand before the shaft). On older engines usually...

I have a Globe (drive saver)504 AC that I bought on ebay few years ago.It is brand new with original box with instructions.Believe it will fit PARAGON Model PL PM PMB.Thougt it would fit Velvet drive 72 series.Very close but NO.Anyone with this gearbox can have this drivesaver for shipping cost...

Hard to tell from picture but I believe it is CR2 series(DROP CENTER). Tag should be forward of shift lever,dipstick.Just guessing about tranny.Nice to see you solved your problem.

I have 6.354 Range 4. Keel cool. Also cannot find any anodes.6000 hrs . No problems yet.Believe I read some where on Perkins site that anodes were not necessity ????????

Bad diaphram in fuel pump would do it.Abnormal gas shine on water from exhaust,easy fix if you have spare diaphram. Just another thought.

I have a 6 354.4 range 4 Perkins for last 15 years.I warm it 1/2 hour before using then 3 hour steam at 2200 rpm.Hauling crab gear with hydraulics engaged 8-10-12 hours at idle then back home 3 hours at 2200.I let it idle 1/2 hour before shutdown.I use Rottela 15-40 and change it every 150...

Very common Borg Warner 10-18 2.57 ratio.Looks inline to me.If diesel powered put straight 30 oil in it and it will last forever.

I can tell from your response that you are handyman in emergency.

Up and running again,good for you mate.Funny most solutions are so simple once you find the problem.Never have thought a selector valve would give trouble .

I would think your lift pump is gone.Your tanks are low so you might have been running on gravity flow before .Just a thought.Best of luck pin pointing the problem.

I changed my 55 amp from 6354.4 Perkins to 100 amp Delco Remy (100 $) 8 years ago.No problems since.For that price you can keep spares aboard.Regarding your later question someone will chime in with info.

where to start Some things will never change.The darnest problems are so simple AFTER you find the solution.Happy boating.
