It's a bit mystifying to me also. I can't image the've been submerged as I'm sure that would be evident elsewhere. Price from local cat dealer is $7000 per side :/

Great questions and insight! Thanks for that. Rest of the vessel is in very good condition, per the eye test and the survey. In terms of total budget I'm fairly confident it makes sense, I'm about $44k usd into it currently. It's equipped with two generators, water maker, inverter...

Yes correct on both counts

Great to know, thank you!

Awesome that's good Intel and thank you. I suppose the core charge would matter for me, as the mechanic told me that the current pumps are not suitable for rebuild ..

Taking a look at these: Simplicity Marine Drives - Cummins Marine - Pricing and Specifications

Sorry, to clarify, yes I am referring to the injection pumps, for which I have a replacement cost currently of 12k CAD installed

Certainly will do, and my early searching certainly suggests most modern diesels are turbo, yes

Thanks Commodave I will definitely check that out. That sounds pretty heavy for that work price-wise.

Wow very cool, I don't think there are very many 51's out there! I have to admit, everything you're saying here is where I am initially leaning... if I'm going to go to all the trouble to take them out.... And agreed on the HP. Some research leads me to believe that some modern non-turbos...

I will do just that and report back - thank you

Very good insight here, and thank you for that. They are 375 HP a side.

Hi! I was referring to the fuel pumps, and yes we're talking salt water here :( The motors do turn over. The boat was a regular runner back and forth from lake Ontario to the Bahamas, but for the 5 years prior to my ownership was a liveaboard boat that didn't move much, if at all. Thanks so...

Many thanks where are you located?

I'm hoping! :socool:

Hello All! I have somewhat recently purchased a non-running DeFever 51 POC. She is powered by Caterpillar 3208 TA (Turbo / Aftercooled) engines with just under 10k hours. A mechanic has told me that the pumps need to be replaced at a cost of around $10-12k, as they are gone from being left...

Hello All! I am from Toronto, Ontario, and I am the owner of a DeFever 51' POC. I am reconditioning her and was referred here from Cruisers Forum. I look forward to leveraging your collective wisdom for my benefit ;)
