RE: Prop-pitch

Marin, Chris and others,
Thanks for putting up with me all this time. The green light for UL dosn't extend to .. say .. a turbo Cummins like in a Nordic tug at 7 knots ?. One could use extra detergent in thier oil or/and remove or bypass thier oil cooler but what leads to cylinder glazing?. I feel very comfortable in my situation but I'm sure there are people out there that are vulnerable to this problem. There was a discussion on another site about about derating DD to cruise large yachts very slowly. Most are going slow and have never heard of under loading.
