It's actually a 6.5kw... apologies
My 10 year old daughter went over the top of the fridge to feed the heavier wire, and we put in a bigger breaker. You want to change the shower heads to "low flow"...
Hey Tim!
Seaboard Marine is where I get my hoses and parts. Good guys...
If that pipe from the after cooler to the turbo is discolored, you have been running hot, Hot, HOT with your intake air.
Have you cleaned your after coolers yet? You may have a plugged up cooler which would explain...
Bigger breaker and wire
it pulls about 20 amps According to the amp meter in the salon

It is a 230V unit...
Doug... this is a fun one! There are 4 inline fuses behind the 12v breaker panel toward the aft head. Took me 3 months to chase them down. I don't know what the 4th one is for... but 3 are for the CO detectors.
We hold 400 gallons. Cummins 6CTA 450 Diamond.
Max range was +/- 200 nm, but the bigger water outside made us pucker a bit on fuel burn.
We ran from Hilton head to Ponce Inlet on day #5 and "skipped Georgia". My engineer and official cocktail waiter shut the genny down because he was...
Crankcase vent to air-seps him says... whatever air comes into that block came from the atmosphere. It carries the same humidity that goes into combustion chamber or your nostrils.
Kinda made sense since we see moisture in oil on our construction equipment when it sits for months at a time...
For what it's worth, I had a really cool chat about the Cummins block heaters from a surveyor I met in Stuart last week. Wait for it....
He said plug your block heaters in while the rig is in sunny south Florida. I respond.... "What in the actual ???"
He said the block heaters cook the...
We cruised anywhere from 18-22. Had one sporty day offshore that we pulled back to 16 to keep the beer from spilling. Cleaned the props once on the ICW near an inlet that shoaled in. Luckily it was incoming tide, pulled out of gear and walked inshore with the bow thruster.
We left November 1, got there on the 6th. We left before 1st light each day and ran pretty much non stop. November is tough because of lack of daylight hours... but we had a BLAST. Had 3 experienced boaters, one a mechanic on board. That made it easier on me to not have to be at the helm all...
We also pulled out the water heater and installed a 7.5 Kw instant hot. The breaker and wire needed to be up-sized but my 10 year old can climb over the refrigerator and knows how to zip tie off a wire as she goes. Up-sized the breaker and we have unlimited hot water when we are tied to the...
I changed all of mine to LED's. Take photos as you take it apart (preferably before bloody mary's) and measure the bulb. It's a festoon bulb and if I had half a brain... I would remember the size.
We moved our 460 (yes... I need to update my profile a bit) from Chestertown, MD to Stuart, FL the first week of November. WE USE THE HECK OUTTA THAT THING! You can't do large loads but its nice to do all of your laundry before you leave and fly back to the snow with nothing but a backpack
Best guess is 4600 rpm WOT. My tachs read differently, starboard engine is getting a new distributor this week and we will check for tach accuracy with the timing light then.
Cheers!
Todd,
'Limes splashed in last week and our engine whisperer almost went swimming on the first pull. With 1/2 tank of fuel (and no beer) on board, we planed in 6 seconds from idle with no trim tabs. (this was a 30-45 second process before) We loaded her with fuel and 2 families this weekend for...
