So, just returned from a 3 day goat hunting trip. And as I was returning to the harbor I throttled down to slow for entry. The engine in my boat died.
The boat is a 42 Davis International Trawler. The engine is 1986 Perkins Range 4 M 200 TI. T6.3544M.
Once in the harbor checked oil first. Plenty of oil. Lost about 5 pounds of pressure over a 16 hour run.
Hot some rough seas so checked fuel filter. The Racor had no water or debris, but the second filter just prior to the injection pump was full of rusty water. Changed the filter and somehow ended up with a ton of air in the fuel system.
So far have bled the air out of the system. Still no start.
Help!!! I'm stumped...
