    Crusader 6.0 losing power

    I am guessing fuel pump problem. Port side Crusader 6.0 MPI on my Pursuit 3100 overheated couple of weeks ago. Took it to the shop to have that problem booked at among other maintenance things that I thought need to be done, including changing both raw and fresh water impellers on both engine...

    Loss of Power Crusader 6.0L

    Did some fishing yesterday and both engines ran great for about 4 hours. On the way home, cruising at about 3200 rpm, when all of a sudden the port engine rpm dropped to 2400. No visible indications on the gauges - oil pressure, temperature, etc all fine. No "check engine" light either...

    6.0L Coolant Capacity

    This is probably a dumb question, but I have a pair of 6.0L captain's choice crusaders that are fresh water cooled. The manual says the coolant capacity is 23 quarts (about 5 and 1/2 gallons). I am to understand that the engine takes that much antifreeze coolant? My 2001 Chevy Silverado...
