Re: 454 Crusaders 3000 max rpm

I put new fuel filters in, then the starboard engine wouldn't start at all. Realized I only put a new fuel pump on the port engine last year. So ordered one for starboard. Hopefully all will be well. Updates after....

Re: 454 Crusaders 3000 max rpm

Wow, that's good speed with 270's. How does it sound running at 3700? I'm complaining about not getting over 3k although that's what I usually run at. ..just want to be able to. ..but the fuel I go thru over 3k is insane. I got 1st place in the club for gas usage last yr :shock:

Re: 454 Crusaders 3000 max rpm

Didn't change the pitch of the props--interesting about the shop getting it wrong--I have spares that are 20x20 and the boat doesn't perform as well with them. Took out the tranny to have repaired. They replaced the clutch plates and a seal. I also got a new damper plate--the old one rattled at idle...

Re: bottom paint

He got it done with a different medium--I posted before that it was walnut shells, but I "lied", it was recycled beer bottles (perfect!) It worked great!! I took the advice of the forum and did 3 coats of barrier paint doing 1st gray, 2nd white & 3rd gray so you make sure each is cover...

Re: impeller/water temp

Right, open raw water cooling--I got all the debris out I found, but you never know. I had an impeller "blow up" on my old 31' and had to take all the hoses off 5 or 6 times to get all the debris after putting the new impeller in, but it wanted to overheat, not underheat--I'd find a couple...

impeller/water temp

I just went in the water (yeah!!) All good, but water temp on starboard engine was a little higher than normal--and not as much water coming out of the exhaust as usual either. I replaced the impellers on both engines--they were starting to come apart. Starboard engine water temp and flow is great, ...

sticker price

Anyone know how much an 85 F36 dual station w/454, 350 hp, air & generator would have been new? Speculating with friends and can't seem to be able to look it up
