Turbos 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...

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

Low hour engines Would black soot and small amount of oil be an issue I'm looking at why my 3788 only pulls 2200 rpm at wot I've looked at all the other possible issues

I will have see why the turbo isn't working More info needed on how to see if the are running Thanks

How hard is it to install boost gauges?

Turbos How can I confirm my turbos are operating No boost gauges. It would seem unlikely both turbos are not working No oil leaks or broken hoses filters look good If I push the throttles full forward the rpm climb is very slow

Good point

The boat is rated to 2600 rpm and it will pull that in neutral at the dock with no smoke I can't imagine both engines have injector issues But I was told some of the 6bta engines had defective injectors and we're recalled This boat sat for 4 year with no use and I have no records on service My...

I'm going to look further into why it's not performing I would love it if it would plan out Any ideas would be great Thanks

Looking for some help to start trouble shooting 1997 Bayliner 3788 250 6bta 650 hour engines Bottom is clean New filters in the last 50 hours After coolers serviced I have no history on props but believe they are factory The boat will not plan out and only pulls 2200 wot 14 knots top speed with...

Nice to hear it may be normal The smoke on start is not new and it does clear up after warm up The engines are new to me and I'm doing some work on them to get a base line if service New filters Water pumps Oil and filters Coolers removed and cleaned I have not adjusted the valves Thanks for...

Cummings 5.9 6bta 250 hp 1999 Low hour engine that runs great Symptoms are that when I cold start the engine I see a line of fuel in the water round the exhaust I've never noticed this before and am guessing it's not a good thing Any ideas on this The engine has not had the injectors tested or...

Fixed Capacitor I got lucky Thanks guys

5.0 That really didn't help my issues about fixing the unit but good to know I've got another $10,000 boat anchor when I need it Im going to try a new capacitor first

5.0 bcd The engine runs fine but volts at the genset are below 10 volts Rpm has been set to 1800 I'll try the capacitor test I hope it's not the end as I was told they are 5 grand to rewind Would the 5.0 bcd have this issue caused by the govenor like in the post? Any ideas on a good place to...

My Westerbeke 1999 5.0 deisel genset runs great but it was indicating only 110 volts on the Bayliner 3788 panel plus no ac ready light Battery charging was fine so it was putting out I was told that turning up the rpm would increase voltage and it did but just for a few seconds then ac dropped...

Yep Back to the basics That's a great post and makes me feel better I was concerned about the dash gauges reading close to 16 volts but my multi meter is more accurate but I will try another test before I decide A vert good test on all the old battery's will start this week end Thanks

I did go back over the setup and found the 1 positive wire went to the isolator from start battery 1 and positive wire 2 to isolator from start battery 2 the black small wire coming from the bottom of my isolator went to battery 1 ground so all good My issues is that the alternator from port...

recently replaced my starboard engine and am happy to be up and running but after the initial turn of the key on the new engine all the ground wires to all lower helm gauges heated up so much it melted the casing on the wires.I replaced the solid state regulator with an automotive style plus...

normal charge rate Im not sure my problem is solved so another question Should I be concerned that the charge voltage is around 13.7 idle and peaks at 14.7 cruise My start batterys are fully charged and the 8 6 volt golf carts are charged via the in house charger so why would the the charge...

I connected it to the negative post on the starting battery so are you saying it should be on the positive side It was a black wire

Sounds like my drama may be over

Fix maybe I found a ground wire off the battery isolator and reconnected and had a steady 13 volts Could this have cause my high charge voltage Thanks for all the help

High voltage I spent to much time looking in the wrong area. I found a ground wire of a battery isolator so connected it to the starting battery and voltage dropped below 14 so I hope that is what was causing the issue Would a battery isolator ground cause an overcharge?
