so you are saying somone rigged a fuel line next to the drive line? the drive line is not really near the fuel inlet of the engines so sounds like poor rigging if true.

I thought I had heard a transmission line was broken by the driveshaft.

Gerry what do you use for compressor washes and how frequently do you do them.

Zok

i have a built in rinse/methanol rinse
when i come back in i rinse for about 20 seconds a motor make sure n1 is over 80percent
the below procedure is done on trailer and is
pretty much too military spec

I have done this maybe three times in 14 years

They always look clean
hope that helps Jay

Thanks, Gerry that's a great help that's what I was looking for, I have some ZOK and was wanting to do a full clean like you have documented rather than just the spray bar clean.
The strange thing is mine has taps fitted to the bleed valve actuator but using these will keep the bleed valve open rather than closed allowing all the cleaning fluid to run out of the engine.

My thoughts were the same as yours that pressure is needed to keep these closed to keep everything in the motor.

spinning in
in mid 130s
lost throttle on starboard
cable melted
lost steering on rudder. Loose -6
possible water spraying on hydraulic lines
Causing the loose fitting.. gotta regroup on those lines.
engines are running around 1250 f
Which is a little hot but better.
overall it was good run!
32x 16.8 forged herrings 1.25 ratio
i ran the smallest pitch i had just too see if eng temps ran cooler.

How the boat feel going from #6s to a rudder? steering better or worse.
Props certainly look about the right height, do you think she is any faster based on past percentage on 6#s

That is fkn "SLICK"
