Air filters are often neglected or forgotten as part of a maintenance plan. Always ensure that air filters are changed as suggested by your manual’s maintenance schedule. As a part of the combustion process, a supply of clean air is always required by the engine.

Maintenance Tip of the Week: Vessel Use 12/21/2015
Maintenance Tip of the Week – Vessel Use 12/21/2015
So, you have religiously followed the maintenance schedule for your engines as outlined in your manual. Everything should be good, right? Not necessarily. You need to pay attention to how you use your boat. If you only use your vessel 25 hours per year, fuel deteriorates, condensation occurs, and corrosion keeps up its’ never ending march. This is why your maintenance schedule is often broken down into time periods of use, as well as calendar time.
Diesel engines perform best when they are started and used frequently. Always follow the storage procedures as detailed in your manual if the vessel will be sitting idle for long periods of time.
Maintenance Tip of the Week: White Smoke 12/14/2015
Maintenance Tip of the Week – White Smoke 12/14/2015
Smoke is always a leading indicator of engine problems, normally fuel or combustion related. With the current emissions standards that require compliance from Marinediesel, you should never see smoke coming from your exhaust. That said, what does white smoke indicate?
1. Bad fuel quality (most common)
2. Problems with combustion
As to bad fuel quality, the first step should be to check the filtration and see what is causing the problem. Fuel treatment or enhanced filtration may solve the issue.
Regarding combustion, there are many causes: Pump failure, air filtration or exhaust pressure issue, clogged injectors, changes made to the ECU, worn gaskets or damaged manifolds.
If the fuel quality is good, then the presence of white smoke indicates that major service is absolutely necessary.
