I had similar results on a boat I purchased a few years back and after aftercooler maintenance (they had to be replaced) all was good.

unknown when the after coolers were done. I was told they were done 2 years ago. I have the parts to do them this year. Just trying to find the days to pull them and re installThis is a perfect question for Tony Athens at boatdiesel.com.
John, it’s well worth your time on that forum for Cummins engines, Tony is THE expert, kind of like Frank on Cats...
How old are your aftercoolers?

Bill , here is the answer to your questionHow much are they charging you for the elbows? After a thorough search I haven't found anywhere that stocks them.
Fernando, You can get everything you need at napa or a radio shack type store to set up your alarm system. Or you can buy the alarm panel from Borel or Aqualarm, or probably many other places. I set up one panel/alarm system and wired in Coolant high temp switches and exhaust hose high temp switches. It's quite easy, hardest part is running the wires up to the bridge. Assuming the switches you show are normally open, run 12v power to the alarm lights (port and starboard) and buzzer from ignition toggle switches, and the ground wires to the temp switches in your picture. ground the other side of the switch and when the switch closes (overheat), it completes the circuit and you get the alarm. The overheat switches that you show are a nice feature to have. Good luck.

The price is $ 200.00 more each one, but I think is worth it.
Total cost each $ 1,400.00
The last mixer was bad leaking water and it make my turbo to fail.
They also added a feature to install a temperature sensor, see picture, now figure out how to connect the temperature sensor alarm to the engine.

Hi CaptainI know it is an old thread, but I had to adjust my aneroid on the starboard engine because of delay coming up to speed. This was a few years ago, it fixed the problem and never had an issue since. You need a special Torx tool to get to the adjustment dial.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I have seen this pictures before . But they do not specify how many turns (or fractions of a turn) are required.
Also the technique to Mark the shaft sounds great. But what shaft!
Thank you Captain !!!!Fractions.....it will take only a few nubs on that adjustment wheel. Run the boat, and match the boost / acceleration agsinst the other engine. If you drop both throttles, the engines should accelerate at the same rate
There is a petcock on the bottom of the block on the forward starboard side of the engine that drains it all. Easy acces in port engine. Not so much on starboard engine.I'm getting ready to change my coolant. If I recall, our engines hold about 8 gallons of antifreeze. As I understand, draining from one of the hose by coolant filter I'll get about 6 gal. How do you drain the remaining 2 gal?
Also, is there another or better way to drain it all from another location than by coolant filter hose?
