I have a 2000 Sea Ray Aft Cabin with twin Caterpillar diesels (620 hrs.) . I'm on my 3rd year with this boat and it's always run very well. I try to keep up on the air filters, change the oil, and replace the racor / secondary fuel filters. I run the boat most weekends so fuel is not stale. I usually run at about 182 Degrees....both engines.
My problem is my starboard engine has now stalled out on me 2 times in last couple of weeks. I had the boat yard mechanic look at it after the 1st time and he basically said everything checked out fine. I did run it after that (10 miles) with no problems.
This time I didn't make it a mile away from my home port when it stalled out again. I was idling for about 30 minutes waiting for a bridge to open so I don't know if that could have contributed to the problem. Once it stalled it would not restart until I went below into the control panel and flipped the switch off and back on.....reset the breaker?? Electrical?
There is no warning, no running rough or anything.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this engine to suddenly stall?
Thanks!!!
