Just brought the Nasty in for what I thought was a regular 100 HR service.
and thank goodness I refrained from taking her out until the service was done.
while getting the service work done the man also spotted a leaking injector pump, that was leaking on the motor mount so that needs replacing as well also the aftercooler is leaking but was caught before it could do real damage.
also need to replace the throttle cable. and having the injectors checked out.
Hopefully we have good fishing this year so the wallet hijacking will soon be forgotten :D

Welcome to my world Eric!!!!! I Was watching the man tear into your sled yesterday. Should run like a top when he is done. To bad we all don't have Meekers (Doghouse's) money that we all could slap in a new 260hp D4. Maybe when I hit the lotto...... Good luck with the repairs Eric.....Zack (Fire Escape)

Sounds like your on the candy isle while I was at the gumball machine,
I was trying to get a good deal on some nice electronics all new in the boxes
but I guess those were yours, :D

Jason , I would only take my electrical repairs to Rick at Broadway.
Have been doing business with him and his dad for probably over 20 years or 30. Pricey but everything gets replaced, not just bad components, Bearings rewind, all done and never, never had a problem. They will work with you. They will let you bring in a car, work on removing the part yourself and selling you the part and you can install. Always willing to spend time with you to explain what happened to your electrical parts.

[Zarco]

broadway did me right. they are the goto guys for electrical stuff. new alt. was half of anywhere else.

hey Eric, sorry I have not gotten back to you.. You should learn how to do the hundred hour check yourself. then do it every 50 instead of 100. A mechanic can look at your engine blindfolded and find $2500. with no problem. Just like a dentist with magnifying glasses can find $2500.00 without batting an eyelid
fter putting thousands of hours on your Blackman, I can tell you that the engine will always get you home, leaking, sputtering or what. Keep plenty of fuel filters, carry a spare impellor and know how to change it out.

The out drive shaft is Volvo's mess. They advise it to be changes out every 1000hrs
Most importantly, pull your props after every trip, check your seals for line and oil for water. When the outdrive goes, and it will, Vessel assist is your friend. The first year I had the boat, outdrive blew 10 miles past Tanner on way to Cortez
