Well old shorty found a problem that I need some help on. Attached are some photos of the
water cooled
exhaust pipe that comes from the
exhaust manifolds. Seems the clamps that hold it against the
pedestal the turbo mounts too have cracks and wont tighter up on
pedestal and leak exhaust fumes. Seem's nobody knows a part number for these as I have talked to some cat
marine parts people. I have attached the photos of the pedestal where they are mounted and another of the clamp itself. Search the
internet with a image file and all kinds of descriptions of it and got nothing. Sooooo if I cant buy these someplace Im going to have to resort to machining them out and Ill tell your right now it wont be made of cast
steel. So if anybody can tell me who has these, I will buy them instead of machining them. Looking at them they dont look like there were created strong enough to do the job anyway.
Boat is 1979 Bertram 33 fisherman with Cat 3208 260 hp. Can not locate the
serial numbers on
engine anywhere but was told it was a 3208 Y model
diesel. Has no intercooler between turbo and intake. Was told it was the only
marine engine that didn't have them. Interesting that they
boat showed 29.0 MPH on
Garmin GPD at 2400
rpm with clean
hull and 4 bladed props.
Captain on board thought that was pretty good.
Thanks
Shorty
