    Marvel refrigerator for boat # 857293

    In the Galley there is a Marvel Refrigerator and a Marvel Freezer. The refrigerator is starting to cool less and less every weekend. It does not need to be defrosted so that isn't the issue, and I believe it is a closed system so I am not sure about adding Freon. The bottom line is it is 17...

While the Cat Mechanic was putting a site glass on the fuel line to look for bubbles he asked what type of Oil I have been using. I replied Rotella 15W 40. He told me that the 3116/3126...

    Cat 3116 strange filter

    Hoping that Frank Webster will jump in on this one. I have what looks to be an upside down filter directly above the fuel filter. This filter looking thing connects with a rubber flange and goes to a metal pipe about 1 1/4 inch. Since I don't have the manual could this be a filter for the...
