AUXILIARY

This Perkins 4-108 diesel was cleaned up and had the heat exchanger core cleaned. The raw water system has been cleaned and new pump installed. The fresh water has a new thermostat. Most hosing has been replaced as needed.
 
The engine had bad fuel and the injector pump needed rebuilding.

We installed a 13gal day fuel tank above the 75 gallon main tank to avoid storing 75 gallons for several years.

This way we avoid getting bad fuel and we can re circulate fuel if necessary. This picture shows the in-hull depth finder sending unit, Racor fuel filter and electric fuel pump, 3000w inverter and engine battery.
