Hello guys, I'm looking for a reputable diesel shop to rebuild the injectors in my 3126 Caterpillar Engine. The boat is located in Surfside TX. I will remove them and deliver them. Thanks, Will

Will do Thanks

What was the special tool you needed? I’m about to tackle this job.

We tried a polisher several years ago and it didn’t get all the crud out. It just broke it up and sent it through the Racors

I have one Racor per engine. 10 micron elements

I split a bottle of Killem between the three tanks. We pumped out 460 gallons of bad diesel and several gallons of water too. I added 4 bottles of Stanadyne Performance Enhancer and put 240 gallons of new red diesel in. After the first trip on a choppy day the slime balls were clogging up in the...

Diesel Fuel Algae problem A few months ago I added a product in the 350 gallon main diesel tank called killem. It’s killed all the algae in the tank but now I have large pieces of it clogging the Racor filter. I’m looking to rig up an in-line screen filter that’s petroleum resistant that can...

Oops. Not Sure why this was posted as a reply in here. Sorry

Omg!

I just rewired the larger cables on the DC side on my boat including anything between 2/0 and 6awg. The wire I didn’t replace got corrosion cut out and recrimped with tinned copper connections. I installed a new battery charger. I installed Blue Sea 60amp MRBF terminal fuses near the two 8d...

So all the small black leads should go back to that buss bar and then 2AWG from battery to BUSS Bar?

Thanks Dave what battery terminals would you suggest? Amazon has lots of different marine grade terminals.

I forgot to ask, what battery terminals would you suggest. Price isn’t a concern. Looking for reliability seeing as the boat stays in the slip. Amazon has lots of different kinds.

I’ve had issues with the new and older charger not charging two of the three batteries. I have a large platinum car battery for the old generator. I found the charging issue. From the charger the three red leads (6 AWG) go through a 60 amp fuse. Two of the three are fried (23 years old). I found...

Notes. I added those to my Amazon list. What about a busbar. Any specifics on busbars.

Good morning fellas, I’m ordering parts on Amazon now to rewire from new battery charger to two 8D batteries. It’s a 12v system with two Diesel engines. The main wire from charger to batteries is 4 AWG. I want to add a bussbar near the batteries and remove the wing nut terminals.. The system...

I bought it on Amazon

What setting do you use for your house and starting batteries on the ProMariner PS or BC? I bought the 1250.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I’ll make the changes on the terminals and add a buss bar with fuses. I went with the 50amp ProMariner. After installation and reading the manual I booted it up and chose the Power Supply Mode. It also had a Battery Charger Mode which is compliant with some...

I'm looking for a new onboard battery charger for a 38' Luhrs. The old owner was going through batteries a lot. The boat has 2 new 8D batteries and a new 900 CCA battery for the generator. The generator is not purchased yet. The shore power cable and 50 amp fuse are new. The battery wiring and...

Good morning guys, I just bought a 38’ Luhrs with twin 3126 Cat engines. The boat came with two 8D batteries and one regular car battery for the generator. See pics of the AC panel and charger. I’m looking to replace the batteries and charger. Looking for recommendations on a reliable charger...

The survey was subpar. He valued the boat less than 50% of what its worth. I'm not sure if this will help with a new quote or hurt.

I also have had Allstate for 22 years covering my 38' sportfisher. The rate is reasonable but don't think were covered but for maybe half the boats total value. I recently paid for a survey that was subpar to say the least.

I received mine in about a week.
