The crank case breather has a check valve. sometimes they stick open and then you get extra oil into the air intake, and you may even see oil dripping out of the air sep.
Nobody mentioned a fouled prop!! Dramatic impact on WOT!!
Assuming (not clear from posting) that engine did reach WOT in the past and prop has not been changed, then how could engine be overpropped??
I added the pictures and did have another post with more info on the low power
I was told that $1700 was the cost to rebuild the one turbo
So don't want to make the mistake
Props are clean
Got it. Those two terms were used earlier in this discussion so you defined the right droop.H.W.
Spooling. At least with engines usually refers to the turbocharger acceleration
Droop. With diesel engine usually is part of the fuel delivery by the injection pump governor where the engine has reached its Rated rpm but not the final absolute max. Rpm set by the mfgr. The few hundred revs difference between the Rated and the final max. (High idle) is often called the droop. It can be called by other terms but droop is often used.
I hope I haven,t blathers about the wrong issue.
I'm guessing I'm not the only guy that has purchased a bank repo with no sea trial so not sure why that's coming up
The Bayliner37 with 250 hp 6bta was slightly under powered from what I read so I was looking for info on prop pitch and performance numbers like cruising rpm and speed
I have had a ton of good info on this site that helps me trouble shoot
Yes I have had 2 bayliners that are not great performers but I still enjoy boating and love the 3788
Thanks for all the help
I'm going to look at the props then post back with real numbers
