I don’t have a macerator option on my 3500. I’m confused. You say the waste outlet hose was not attached — so did it just let the water flow into the bilge ?

Thanks PJ. That’s what I am curious about. However, I wonder if the larger yachts such as yours with diesels are more likely to travel at the slower speeds. My 35 footer has gas engines. I may try a...

I have the 3500 SCR with twin 7.4L 454 ci gas engines. Test data says 24 mph @ 3500 rpm & 33.8 gph; 7.3 mph @ 1500 rpm & 6.6 gph. I figure that should save 36% (24/7.3*6.6/33.8=.64). Curious if those...

Early Boating Magazine Reports suggest that if I cruised at 1500 rpm (7.3 mph), I would get 38% better mpg than I would at 3500 rpm (26 mph). Just wondering if others actually run that way for 30-60...

Cruising Speeds

Just curious. How many of you choose to cruise a long distance at low speed (<10 knots) vs getting up on plane to get to your destination quicker?

Does the slow speed trawler approach save you...

Ya. Sounds like a good idea. If my grandson were a few years older, I could probably employ him. Unfortunately, my marina is very small, and there are no kids that I know of.

I’ve put about 70 hours on it since the last adjustment. I got so irritated with it, that I installed another bilge pump under the engine, which pumps water into the center portion of the bilge,...

I have similar issue on my 3500 SCR. The diamond-shaped non-skid seems to have been chipping off. Looks like dirt/mold from 3 feet away. So far, I have not noticed any water intrusion issues. But I'm...

My 2001 3500 SCR does not have a drain plug either. Gotta depend on the bilge pumps, and need a wet/dry vac for anything they won't discharge.

Interesting. Do you think your rotor was slipping up the shaft, and the pro collar has stopped that ? Or did you install an entirely new seal kit? Mine only has about 70 hours (mostly low rpm) on...

They're made of .060 thick ABS sheet. Hand cut with razor knife. I've actually sold a few for $15 each. Wish I could post my video of their easy 'in/out'.

Update: heads removed, reconditioned. Running great so far. Did not need to pull engine. ‘Tuliped valve’ was the problem.

Exhaust Manufacturer

I have a 2001 3500 SCR with 7.4L Mercs. Just received a new exhaust. It was a custom design by Centek in GA. Check and see if they have what you need.
