Part 2 of our storm preparations as we get ready for what could potentially be a killer storm, or nothing at all.. we have no idea but all we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We still have about 12-18 hours before we need to decide if we should stay or if we should go.. if we stay there will be trouble, and we go it could be double... pray for us..
Cheers,
Captain Rick & Crew

Run that at idle at 1800 with a full load. With the propeller run at 2200, no higher, you need an Egt gauge but at the higher RPMs you put more air and the fuel will cool the injectors. The higher RPm will also help burn the carbon. Diesel love loads, remember I figure 32hp for both alternators, so run only one under way on power, cut the other one if you need more power. That engine at 1800rpm should be able to handle a full alternator load, it will not cause any issues if you have good water flow at 1800 rpm. Should also make great hot water. On my Beneteau I put a police alternator on my 28hp Volvo diesel engine. It pulls 14-20hp, puts out 180amps but I get about 150 at 1800, puts a good load on the engine, charges my 8d and 4d after 4 days, plus runs 2 freezers and one fridge. Creates great hot water. Burns about a liter an hour with that load. You also need a fuel polishing system.. God Bless with the storm. Think you are in a good spot.

the air filter was my first thought. it's like buying a used car some granny drove that runs but dies and puffs black smoke. Go race it down some back roads clean it out so it can breath. However i wasn't sure if it was same with a boat though. Yet figured would be much the same. Change the air filter take it for a spin run it get all the carbon build up blown out then it will run like a dream. if that doesn't stop the dying replace the catalytic converter and that more often then not fixes it. I've bought a couple cars super cheap because people didn't know why they were blowing black smoke. the one first was clogged air filter, the second one was air filter and catalytic converter. Last one i bought that was 2 years old it had spent more time in the shop then out and it turned out it was a battery connection $400 and new battery i had awesome new car. I wasn't complaining they were great cars dirt cheap. Thanks for clearing that up it's same with a boat :)

Just a thought Captain Rick about your smoky engine. In the UK someone had the same issue and the cause was the turbo its turbine was getting stuck they took it apart checked the bearings they were find but noticed the blades were getting stuck from soot used WD40 which is a rust freeing oil stuff cleaned it out and it stopped the Engine smoking.

Good move with the diesel injector cleaner. I've come to the opinion that modern diesel fuels are not suitable for all diesel engines. a can in the tank got rid of the strong smell of diesel from my exhaust and every 6 months I use the tank bacteria treatment. I use the LiquiMoly brand and I only have an older Nissan vehicle, not a boat.
