    They sound very thorough, here just getting someone competent down to the boat is a chore. I would buy you a case of beer if that is my problem I will get down there and thoroughly go over the hoses and clamps. Maybe sweet talk my buddy to put some boost gauges on the engines also like to see...

    Wanted to update, after weeks and having to rebuild the Denso injection pump, replacing mechanical lift pump and starter solenoid. The main issue which the mechanic and I found is that the stbd fuel supply line feeding the fuel selector valves is allowing air into the line. Move both engines...

    History of this ongoing issue, several times at dock and at anchor STBD will crank 4-5 seconds than start or not start at all. I could after several times cranking usually get it started. Eventfully it got worst and wouldn't start than I found I could toggle the master ignition switch and until...
