How often do the water filters need to be changed?
Can't help with any experience but I'm very interested how to lift the engine to replace the mount without punching a hole in the bottom. Will be following ...Hey Ya'll,
Need to swap an engine mount (last owner let the sea water pump drip on it and managed to cover it with enough paint for it to get missed on the inspection, now it blew up with rust).
Thinking of using an air bag jack to support the engine while I swap the mount and possibly swapping all the vibe absorber - Wayska Exhaust Jack 4 Ton, Exhaust Air Jack 8800LBS, Inflatable Car Jack Off-Road Jack for Vehicle SUV Car Truck Rescue https://a.co/d/8oQGdRA
Thoughts?
TIA!

My buddy and I replaced a transmission on his 400DB with 6CTAs. A bottle Jack would not fit under. But we were jacking up the engine to remove the transmission, so much less space under it than under the engine mount bracket. We used a heavy duty automotive scissors jack I had. Put down some two by fours under the Jack to level out the slope. I thought I had pictures but can’t find them.I do most of my own stuff, but had a marine mechanic out here for a shaft alignment and he recommended a bottle jack, but I can see that happening with slope in the engine pan. Will keep you guys updated on how it goes.
Good morning,
Heading home this morning, if I come up in rpm’s more than approx 750 on port engine, I get a water temperature alarm and as quick as rpm falls below that it goes away.
I veryfied the engine mounted gauge with dash and all indicate approx 160. I can see water flowing out of exhaust and using heat gun all around engine seems normal temps and similar to stbd engine.
I’m guessing a faulty sensor but where and how to check or other ideas?
Not sure what the connection with the rpm is other than amount of water flow?
Where is water temp sensor located? Maybe I can unplug and see, check wiring

Turbocharger to exhaust manifold is studs with nuts. Should be no problem but if it is, heat the nuts.
For those cut the heads off with a Dremel and work the remainder with a vice grip. Should come right out
