    Found leak but can't get to it

    I have a 98 400 sedan bridge and it looks like the starboard rudder shaft packing needs tightened. Having looked in there I can't imagine how one gets to it. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Glow plugs?

    Might be a silly question but can't seem to get an answer to this. Does a 1998 3116 cat in a 400 sedan bridge have intake heater, glow plugs or neither? Thanks.

    Fuel additive question

    In a past post the question was asked about fuel additives and filling the tanks to keep moisture from collecting in the tanks and causing all sorts of problems. I asked what the sediment bowls were for on the racors. I was under the impression that any water in the fuel was separated there and...

    A battery switch question

    My 98 400 sedan bridge has 2 switches. One for each bank of 2 batteries, one bank starts port engine and that's all it does. My carver had a BOTH position which allowed you to use all batteries to power the house. Why could I not hard wire all batteries together? I realize that all batteries...

    ZF 220's all the same?

    My port side transmission is a larger housing on left side or outside than starboard unit. Is that the internals for the counter rotating part of it? Can't find anything on line to indicate two different or rotating boxes. Thanks.

    Port and starboard shifts feel different

    Both engines idle at 750. Port shift into gear is harsher feeling than starboard. Not a big difference but noticeable. Both run same speed in gear at idle and no slippage up to planing speed. Anybody else notice this or am I just not used to a new boat? PS oil samples were done and came back good.

    Primer pump question

    Haven't had boat long but I suspect primer pump handle has been out a long time,but no leaks. Put in and locked it and a run later saw it was out again. Still no leaks,should I just leave it alone? Thanks

    3116 primer pump won't stay in.

    Haven't had boat long but I think port side primer pump plunger has been out a long time. Locked it in once but found it out again. Does not seem to leak. Should I just leave well enough alone? Hate to mess with it if it's not leaking. Thanks.
