    Nice! That is a bit beyond our abilities with the liveaboard space. But that gives me an idea for the caps.

    We plan to leave ours up the side, it's a cream color though so it would match like Streckers does. Green would get replaced with a new carpet. Strecker. What about the stairs? Did your chosen floor have stair caps available? We have the aft cabin, stairs coming in and stairs down to our room...

    This is almost exactly the same floor we plan to use. Very similar to the carpet shades, so it blends well. Can't wait to see the finished lewk!

    I have an extra one that i bought to replace my port side, it says 190 degree? Though i would prefer to have the old 185 degree back. Edit: Also, Caterpillar lists 2 options on the parts page. I is $15, the other is over $70. Anyone know the difference?

    Alright, I warmed the motor up this afternoon at about 2 and then turned it on again at about 4:45pm and let it warm up to 180 degrees per the engine gauge before testing and before dialing up RPMS. Temp Gun Results: (IN NEUTRAL AT DOCK) 750+/- RPMS Engine Temp Gauge Reading 180 degrees Bridge...

    Thermo-gun should arrive tomorrow. That could be, I will see about that too. We are trying to fix it ourselves since my business is suffering at the moment and im a self-pay college student, but are on the edge of calling in the pros.

    I guess I'll pull it and make sure the mechanic did it correctly. Coolant pump drive belt is new. We have pretty solid water flow, it's not as much as Port side, but it's certainly not low. I'll check the cooling pump impeller and recheck give thermostat. I think I want to get a 185 degree...

    Alright everyone, what else do you have? Please read full list before suggestion! Over 1700 rpm and we heat up above 200 on only starboard. We did a full descale including the gear cooler. New impeller. Coolant flush. New ELC coolant. Cleaned the HEX Aftercooler is cool to the touch while the...

    What do you do if they don't test out for the pressure test. Inquiring minds want to know.

    So we took it out to load test it. I found 3 coolant leaks in a section our now fired mechanic replaced the housing regulator that be busted the flange off of and the hoses should've been replaced. Got new hoses now. Is there a bleeder valve somewhere on the coolant circuit?

    Not sure what you mean. Running 2300+rpm is going to add heat to the mix, regardless of its in gear or not.

    What!! That's wild. Well I suppose I'll stop chasing that ghost then! Yesterday I ran the starboard in neutral at 2000-2300rpms and it did not cross 190. That's the first time it has stayed at 190 or below. Doing some more descaling and then taking it out later this afternoon to test it out...

    The only thing on that list is replace the coolant hoses, however they've been checked when it's running to make sure there is no collapsing. After I refresh the aftercooler, the hoses are my next step. I'm going to laugh if it turned out it's my ball valve not opening all the way, ill find...

    It was pretty dirty. But I turned the motor on with it off and didn't see anything change. When you run your, at what RPM does the starboard side match the port side?

    Official Caterpillar3116/3126 Thread

    Exactly that. The starboard side has only a tiny amount of bubbles intermittently at 750ish rpms. The port side is a geyser at the same rpm. I've got the filter drying in the sun on the back deck. I also ran some descaling solution in my Aftercooler this morning, was already doing the AirCon...

    So that did seem to give us some added flow, but not significant enough to be the game changer. It's been descaled pretty well over the last day. One thing i failed to mention in previous posts (always something) we noticed that the flow on starboard is only about 1/3 difference from port...

    Without pulling it off completely. Could I pour a descalong solution in the upturned coupling hose and collect it on the other side? It's definitely dirty. I would like to see how it tracts with just a clean, before I remove it and take it in.
