Where is the tag you're mentioning to fill out & sign?

About the last paragraph of your pdf says a non-refillable, ie, BI is good up to 12 years if not damaged & gauge shows good pressure. Thanks so much.

Sounds like a plan. The ones I was going to buy are throw away after use. So do I need to replace the non-refillable each year if not inspected?

What I don't understand is if you have the USCG approved required marine type extinguishers, what's to sign off on it. Don't they come with a pull-pin & a gauge with the needle in the green zone when they're good?

I recently bought a used 38' cabin cruiser with about 5 larger than normal fire extinguishers on board with pins in & gauges in green area. The surveyor wrote up about them needing to be signed off/ tested every year according to some NFPA or another agency code. I read many articles on West...

Thanks. I think mannual showed to use a pipe cleaner. Never would have thought of that little passage being a problem.

Was reading Operators Manual about draining & filling coolant. This is from manual. "Refilling the Coolant After replacing the engine block drain plug, close the heat exchanger's coolant petcock. Then run the engine at idle and slowly pour clean, premixed coolant into the manifold. Monitor the...

Thank you. Sure makes sense. I think I saw a sticker on the top of my 2005, 7.6 BDT & it looked like the Mitsubishi logo.

Thank you Ski. I'm very surprised there is no air filter. I wonder if silencer box is oiled foam type of filter. I'll take it apart to see.

FYI, I went to Westmarine.com & entered Westerbeke 7.6BTD oil filter & a Sierra filter came up for $9.99.

Wow!I didn't know that. I will do my best. Thanks

Bought uses boat with 7.6 BTD genset. I'd like to change of & filter. Tried to use "search this forum" tool but won't work with my phone. Also oline I could not find a part listed as an "air filter". Do they call an air filter something different? Will ship to Detroit area. Thank you.

Thank you for drum & pump info. Now I can see & learn more from these examples.

Thank you. I did see the fuel polisher where the gear pump sucked dirty fuel through a screen filter, through pump, & then 10 micron filter back to tank.

The last sentence was suppose to ask if the electric priming pump goes between tank & primary Filter.

Can you provide a link or something where you get that kind of electric priming pump & does it go between tank & inlet of primary pump?

4 gals per hour is great.

I was thinking exactly that. Both 150 gal tanks are 3/4 full so that's over 100 gals to pump somewhere. The good things is it's all fresh fuel. I don't know what to come up with to store pumped fuel in. Thanks, Happy 4th of July.

Thank you sunchaser. I've been thinking that for a while. The crazy thing is at West Marine they want about $15-16.00 for the 500 series element. I saw the Racor 1000 series elements next to those for only $19.95. The 1000 series looks like they have 4 time the area for $4.00 more. I bought my...

The blue caps surprise me. I will do whatever it takes to be sure tanks are happy tanks. Thanks for post. Have great weekend.

Boat is finally home. Got boat home last Thursday. Thanks to semi-planing with me & navigating we finished trip with many filter changes. I'm not sure if all were necessary because of how clean some looked. I agree with others that there may be some kind of "floater" in the tank. Too many times...

I pm'ed you.

I'm back home re-grouping outside of Detroit. I just received a bunch of Perkins secondarys & today I expect a bunch of Racor primaries to arrive. I'll know more in when I get back to the boat. Thanks

Thanks dhays. It just gets more frustrating. I had a retired captain that agreed to make the trip with me in about 10 days from now. He texted this morning saying that now his health won't allow him the trip. I must keep plugging away. Take care & have a great weekend.

You got it Dave. I received my 8 secondaries today & have 10 Primaries on their way. I have 2 jugs a gallon each & plastic coffee cans with lids. Also I have a retired captain lined up to make the trip. Things are coming together. Take care.
