- Week 28 N/A Boat motor versus turbo motor, how much does it cost to run a Naturally aspirated diesel motor or a turbo charge diesel marine motor. Ford Lehman Diesel cooling system explained.
Enjoy all of these videos! Especially these that focus on the engines! BTW, this may sound harsh, but after watching some videos on maintenance and upkeep, I feel blessed not owning one of these!!!
Thanks for the tip!
Learning a lot. CAT dealer everywhere sounds smart. I'm studying GB 32 possibilities. Don't know much about trawlers. Lifelong sailor. Friend of mine OVDW bought a GB 32 and refit it.
I run a Ford Lehman 135, its amazing to have Brian from American Diesel, he knows it all
II know a bit about Diesel engines and I know you will never get a 120 HP engine increase to 300 hp adding a turbo,, Lehman built at least four different engines based on the Ford 6 cylinder block- normally aspirated engines of 120 and 135 hp, a turbocharged but not aftercooled one of 165 hp and an after cooled one of 200 hp.
Thank you. Ive just been owned by a pair of Lehman / sabre Fords 250 s . Goimg to binge watch your channel.
Thanks appreciate that
All good information Paul that I'll need to know when buying my boat. Nice clean engine room also. Thanks.
I try and keep it up, it’s a priority for me, I don’t think anyone enjoys getting dirty when in there engine room. 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
GREAT VIDEO! Captain Paul has been instrumental to my boat search process! Great advice, great suggestions.....really shortens the learning curve. I still have a lot to learn but I've learned more in a few phone calls w Captain Paul than I would have in 6 months otherwise!
Thank you Larry, it’s been fun working with you and I hope we find a boat soon, because that’s when the real fun starts 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
well, did you find a boat, Larry??
@@MillionDollarTrawler close. Really close. Only thing missing is a sea trial
..next week. Will let you know
@@lcarlson7725 hey that's awesome! Wifey and I just pulled the trigger last month, we are on the trawler lifestyle now. 85 CHB diesel turbo twin. Might even startup a video channel myself going through all the systems and getting full time in the boat. Good luck to you, sir!
Thanks', Paul. Good info and video.
Glad it was helpful!
That D-series is 120hp at 2450rpm 380cubic inch
Next step is just turbo-charged 150hp at 2450rpm 360/363cubic inch
Then its turbocharged and intercooled which is 180hp at 2450rpm 360/363 cubic inch
Then its the best of all D-series the 2704ET-Turbo plus 250hp at 2450rpm
After that they did a 275hp engine
Following that is the Ford Dover which goes from 135hp NA up to 375hp turbo and twin intercoolers. There is another step up after that with a bigger engine up to 425hp.
And there is only one engine in NA or Turbo/turbo intercooled and thats a Gardner. Capable of anything up to 70,000 hours plus between major overhauls and the fuel economy is outstanding.
Thanks brother for the info. 🙏👍🏻❤️😉
My Cummins 5.9s from 1988 don’t have aftercoolers, and I’m glad! Aftercoolers can be dangerous if not properly maintained, since an internal leak will put salt water into your air intake… wiped out engine.
Your correct, they have to be gone through regularly. 🙏👍🏻❤️😉
Nice engines you got there Captain.
Glad you like them!🙏👍🏻👍🏻❤️😉
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome!👍🏻🙏❤️😉
GREAT VID PAUL THANKS
Glad you enjoyed it🙏👍🏻❤️😉
You make maintaining an engine very expensive.
Thank you Captain Paul, next to corrosion, heat is the next most destructive energy a boat engine can suffer, your advice on cooling is unsurpassed - some new owners buy a boat that has never been on a long haul or run above 2 to 3k RPM and then the heat exchanger, raw water, engine water pump fails - that’s when buyers remorse sets in - maintenance is key Regards and thank you
Yes you are correct, lot of boats do a lot of setting, running them is always good. 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
Stellar engine room! Have you looked at changing your belt to a serp setup?
I have looked at it and may do it someday, but this is not my forever boat, I do need to leave some work for the new owners some day. 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
Keel cooler and dry stack exhaust for a world cruiser would be look for first, engine brand second.
Great point!👍🏻🙏😉
I have a GB36 with twin FL120. At 66YO i can get to the outside of the engines without great difficulty.
That’s good, little less room on the outside of them.
Paul I’m on the last 300 miles of the great loop in Georgian Bay. I’ve run my single 120 16-1800 the entire way. Rarely I run 2000. Is it normal to run to 2450?
I plan to run it hard the last stretch to Whitehall, MI but didn’t realize what high rpm’s are apparently.
Thanks.
I don’t push mine that hard, but I have run them a 2000 even 2100 for long periods when needed. 👍🏻🙏😉
Another great informative video.......but omg its CUMMINS not cummings lol makes me crazy! I am looking at boats with John Deeres, Cat 3208TA 375hp are EVERYWHERE, some Perkins Sabres and one with Yanmars. Good information on maintenance costs NA vs TA.
Thanks and sorry 😢 but they get the point. Thank you for watching. 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
@@NoRegretsLifestyle =P
Every guy I know is a sucker for South Beach 🤙🏼
I love the place sorry, 👍🏻🙏❤️
So you are coming up to 6K hours, isn't that kind of high? How long will they go before rebuild?
I don't see the point of two engines. There are thousands of trawlers the same size as yours with only one.
Last, have you looked into the new props, torroidal prop. Are way more efficient and burn one third less on fuel. They would pay for themselves in one season.
On N/A engines they can go 20k between rebuilds it’s all in how they were taken care of.
Hi Paul, I am about to buy a GB 1978 36 with the twin FL in 2.200 hours. Is it good or bad for these motors?
Not bad at all, those engines can go 20k plus hours on them
Foday Yillah 👍
All the mechanics I know say a 3208 is a disposable engine
Yanmar
Had pair of 240hp 4 cylinder in my 29 Tiara
EXPENSIVE TO SERVICE
Parts are ridiculous
Also the 4 cylinder caused a lot of vibration under 1200 rpm
That sounds about right, I don’t think people realize sometimes what it cost to keep one running properly
BTW if your only going 6or7 knots why would you need a turbo??
The boats that have them can go faster, so when you feel the need for speed 😉
What about Izuzu?
Not sure about them but I know they are good in the trucks
Looking at a boat with a Yanmar 6LP, sounds like you would approve.
I do like Yanmar engines for sure, 👍🏻🙏❤️😉
Say what you want but Yanmar is worldwide. So is Kubota
John deer
Yes
How do you get $300 per engine for an oil change, you say oil, additive, there is only one filter. Racor? Racor is a fuel filter, you don’t change your fuel filters every 250 hours do you? Why, dirty tanks? And transmission fluid, that should not need changing every 250 hours, maybe 1000. You are overdoing it!
You're way off on your price i do my single 120 for under 100$ delo 10.40 oil & oil filter oil 16$a gallon & nappa gold oils filter 11$
Thanks 🙏
Diesel vs. twin diesel trawler. Which one would you buy for the loop. I like the additional engine redundancy, but I am looking at the price of fuel as well. I also want to know if you know of any training I can get here locally in So. Florida. Thank you for your videos!
I am open for training, as far as single versus twin. Very hard question to answer, I am not afraid of a well maintained single engine trawler, but they are much tougher to handle. If you train with me we go over all of it. But I would teach you on twin engine boat.
