I'm glad I don't work on that piece of shit. How many years has it been since that deck has seen a needlegun? And those hot manifolds on the engine aren't very safe. Get you some water jacketed ones before you end up with some nasty 3rd degree burns.....
That was great! thanks for posting that. I could watch this stuff all day and night, your from Canada? I was born in Ottawa and now live in Australia and have worked on quite a few vessels here but it's so good to see how the maritime industry works overseas.

Aye Kagome, Thats a Detroit V16. And your very right... ITs not very efficiant. even though its a natural engine. Doesnt have any turbo chargers.
Its there partly for the novalty, (since its used as a bow thruster in a 150ft tug) For the power. =]

Is that a Detroit 16V71 powering that Z drive? It may not be that efficient but it sure sounds great!
