- 1986 Albin 34 Family Cruiser
The Cummins 210 HP 5.9 in my 1986 Albin 34 has been smoking a little. I have had the boat for over a year, but run it very little due to projects (still very much ongoing). It is time to address the smoke, so I had the injectors rebuilt, and I changed all the filters and it still smokes. Now I am looking at the angle of installation, which I measured at 11 1/2 degrees. The dipstick is forward on the engine and shows full. Could I have an overfull crankcase when it shows full on the stick due to the angle of installation? I did recently take it on a 20 mile cruise and it performed just fine, but continued with the light smoking. The operating temperature is good and the oil pressure is good. I am thinking of removing some oil?
