"Hi all.

"Hi all.
We just bought a 38ft. cruiser with twin Perkins 4.236 diesels. The boat documentation all says 50HP, but web searches indicate 85HP... which is true??
Also stbd. runs at 120 F, port at 100 F. Seems way too low. Also takes ages to get there. She is fresh water cooled with raw water impeller pump and heat exchanger. I am guessing no thermostats, any comments? What temp should they run? What effect does cold running have? She seems to max out at 2200RPM under load, is this right?
Thanks.
Glenn."
