Thanks again for replies. Yes, I think zincs may have contributed. There are shaft zinc anodes, rudder zinc anodes, and a single block zinc. Rudders are great, no issue. Single block looks good, normal slow wasting. I can admit over the life of those props, the shaft anodes were not...

Thank you all for replies. I do appreciate the exchange of ideas. Ideally would like to go into next haulout with new/used props on hand. Going new seems pretty expensive, both for maybe $4,000 with perhaps months of order time. Feel the existing probable have served their useful life...

Need new (used) propellers in future. 42LRC perkins 6.354T so far so good on engine and boat operation. I bottom dive the boat frequently and try to keep running gear as clear of growth as possible and zincs replaced. However after all these years (may be original props) the 23x21 bronze...

Last weekend I pulled up the carpet in my 42LRC main cabin. Ever since I owned trawler, I knew floor sloped towards engine room hatch/access. Just lived with it. Now with carpet up and taking a look using a long straight edge, I saw the athwartship floor joist (fwd boundary of access hatch)...

Larry, Thanks for reply. That is the Bold model. If I get one more confirmation, I will take the chance and buy those before my haul-out. Also now that I have that 2", will see if I can verify with some kind of gauge next time I dive. Agree on the shaft length is critical, has to be right. I...

Planning a spring/summer haul out, thinking of shopping list. Have 42LRC with Perkins 6.354T. Shafts are 1-3/8". Does anyone have reliable information on overall shaft length? If possible would like to order replacement shaft(s) in advance, probable Aqualoy 22. Need one shaft for sure but...

Information and 2 questions. Have twin Perkins 6.354T in my 42LRC Californian. Owned for 10 yrs, PO ran hard for 2 yrs before that. My strategy to date is preventing costly engine repairs. Run slow maybe 175 RPM; 7-8 knots. That has worked fine; don’t really need top end performance since...

Has anyone done this? I Have 3LDs on twin 185HP 3.654mgt. Would like to pick up H1C on ebay, but would like any first hand experience that it is truly a bolt in replacement (oil connections, exhaust manifold flange, and exhaust outlet to elbow).

Have twin 6.354 turbo 185HP in a Californian 42LRC. Engines work fine. I would like to add an EGT either before turbo or after. Would feel more comfortable monitoring exhaust temperatures while underway. I have installed high temp alarms on exhaust piping after the water injection. It warns...
