Meant to say 8000 hour routine would probably be a top end overhaul.
------------- Forwarded message follows -------------
Looking for information/opinions regarding 3160 Cat diesels, 8000 hours on
the ones we may look at. Cat diesels have a good reputation. Should one
expect 10,000 to 15,000 hours bfore rebuild if looked after. 800 houor
routine would probably be a top end overhaul. During survey have a leak
down test and compression test done. Opinions?
Repowering - replace with lower power diesels with newer technology or
rebuild, the 210 HP out of these Cats apparently can take the boat to 15
knots, hardly up on plane but drinking a lot of gas. Taking a boat this
size past 8-9 knots is not fuel efficient in any way. Opinions?
TIA
Ernest Nash
