Hey guys I'm gonna be the new owner of a 44' gulfstar Motor cruiser/trawler powered by twin perkins 135hp mains and an isuzu generator. I'm familiar with the Lazzara design boats since I work on yachts for a living.
the boat has tons of mechanical space to do work and plenty of storage, which I'm happy about coming from a 42' uniflite with cumming 300's.
Anyways I was crawling around this soon to be boat and on the outboard side of the port engine I saw coolant in the bilge. what could cause this? seams to be no leaks around that area. coolant looks clean. one last thing are these perkins know to leak oil from head gaskets and such because both these bad boys seam leaky and only have 4k hours. also input on the gen set would be great.
Cheers, Ashton
