RE: trawler needing to be towed from Boca Del Toro, Panama to Colon, Panama & DD 453's replaced

Thanks Steve and
Guru guy
I have Diesel Specialists pulled up and I have the number. I will call Paul this AM, I found another place up that way that have a pair that just came in (Johnson's Diesel Service) that I found in Boats/Harbors but I have not heard back from them yet on pricing.
Thanks for info on fuel feed line and I am familiar with DD (I am not a mechanic) but I can change impellers & water pump and general maintence items. I had a pair of 671 TIB's in my 57' yachtfish a few years ago so I know about the return line so I am thinking back deck with one dedicated tank set up for fuel line in and return line and other two tanks for back up to be pumped with manually into main fuel tank (drum rather).
I got an email last night that a 90' dive boat is going down to Shelter bay is is willing to Tow me for a fee (not sure how much) but that might be the way to go for now without a lot of hassel. It's nice to have options.
