See attachmentI have changed the turbocharger 4 times which solves the smoking problem for a short time. I have included a detailed summary of my problems and actions. I need help. Please post all suggestions. Thank you, in advance, Pat Burke |

Second try, I may have overwhelmed the system with 2 pages of problem description. New approach: I have been overprotective with my engines (low RPM for 200 hours) since we found FOD in the ruined turbocharger. Should I accelerate quickly to high power and clear out both engines regardless of black smoke in the exhaust?? Pat |

I would like to see some picks of the engine room, ventilation installations etc before commenting further. |

Morten: Thank you for your response. I am in San Diego and will travel to Ensenada next week and get the pictures. In the meantime here's a description of the 3 engine air intakes. We have 2 chevron type intakes (3"x14") on the side of the cruiser; we have 2 deck intakes (5"x10")behind and protected by the cabin; and we have 2 more (3"x12") on the transom protected by the bait tanks. I have tried running with both engine room hatches open (4'x8') and the port engine seems to be running normally. Thank You, Pat |
