THROTTLE & SHIFTER CONTROLS: Glendinning hydraulic shifters worked properly at flybridge and Main cabin locations.
GEAR-DRIVEN SEAWATER PUMP WITH BRONZE IMPELLER: Seals not leaking/no water present
PLATE-TYPE HEAT EXCHANGER: checked inlet and outlet flow temperature, within parameters
ENGINE OIL COOLER: checked inlet and outlet temperatures, all within parameters
ENGINE MOUNTED FUEL COOLER: checked inlet and outlet temperatures, all within parameters
SEAWATER PUMP OUTLET PRESSURE: adequate pressure
WATER-IN-FUEL DETECTION SWITCH: sensor working properly
COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR: working properly
ENGINE MOUNTS AND BED: Main engine beds are heavy longitudinal stringers inboard and outboard. Engine Mounts Satisfactory
LUBRICATION: Oil Level indication is normal both port and starboard.
LUBE OIL PRESSURE: (WOT) engine 100% load 40psi. Starboard pressure gauge not reading properly at cabin.
COOLING SYSTEM TYPE: Freshwater reservoir type cooling with Seawater cooled wet exhaust, Operated satisfactory.
SEAWATER STRAINERS: 2 2.5inch Groco bronze alloy with sight glass. Appeared serviceable. well maintained
COOLANT LEVEL: Normal levels observed. Pressurized expansion tanks on both engines to 25psi no noticeable drop in pressure. used heat sensing gun on all cooling system surfaces. operated normal.
HOSES AND CLAMPS: Double clamped where sighted. All quality 304 SS style hose clamps. Cooling system, Transmission & oil system hoses, in need of replacement at next service.
BELTS AND PULLEYS: Belts & Pulleys condition appeared serviceable, port side alignment is off, repair at next service
SEACOCKS AND STRAINERS: Seawater seacocks were ball valve type. Operated smooth & satisfactory.
EXHAUST SYSTEM: Seawater cooled with risers and flexible coupling sections double clamped where sighted. port side leaking at fiberglass elbow, recommend replacing with SS elbow
ENGINE ALARMS: Test of port and starboard low oil pressure alarm, water in fuel alarm and coolant overheat warning audible at helm station. Operated satisfactory.
ENGINE SHUT DOWN: Port and starboard shut down push buttons at helm station & main cabin clearly marked. Operated satisfactory.
STUFFING BOXES: Packing gland style, both leaking at correct rate.
EMERGENCY SHUT-DOWNS. Port & Starboard Engine equipped appeared to work properly
ENGINE ALIGNMENT: Appeared Smooth & without vibration.
RUDDERS: Packing gland style, not leaking appeared serviceable. no vibration.
TURBOCHARGERS: Turbo boost pressure maxed out at 48psi while performing (WOT) wide open throttle test, kicked in at 1300rpm and everything runs smooth. recently new.
——————————————————————————————-
SEATRIAL REPORT:
1. The engines started without excessive cranking.
2. The engine exhaust appeared normal.
3. The cooling water exhaust appeared adequate and normal.
4. The engine instruments operate within normal operating limits at idle, cruising speed and at wide open throttle. except starboard oil pressure gauge.
5. The steering system operated normally. very responsive.
6. The throttles operated normally.
7. The transmissions, both went in & out of gear smooth with no excessive noise, no leaks detected from any of the seals on both
8. The backdown test was satisfactory.
9. both rudder linkage operated smooth while underway, no leaks detected
10. OIL LEAKS detected at port exhaust manifold, #4 port injector nozzle, port exhaust elbow, port & starboard seawater pumps, generator fuel lines & water temperature sensor
11. Bow thruster had excessive growth (mussels & barnacles) seemed to spin freely buy hand, but by the end of day was not working at all, maybe bad motor or an electrical issue.
12. Port & Starboard bearing assembly moving while shifting, needs larger bolts installed.
13. Port & Starboard seawater pumps leaking at weep holes, need to be replaced.
14. Coolant filters bypassed port & starboard L6125A need to be reconnected into the coolant system. and coolant system flushed and refilled.
15. Port & Starboard alternator pully out of alignment, needs to be readjusted.
WOT TEST: (wide open throttle) sea trial test for 3 minutes, Starboard engine smoking a little (white) could be faulty (clogged) injectors. recommend shocking the fuel system with LUCAS Injector cleaner. as soon as we throttled back the smoke went away. other than that, everything performed within parameters.
