Perkins 4-154s in farm service regularly get that much time on them as
well.

As such, barring some excitement we can't foresee, as we've just gone over
4k hours on the rebuilt unit which was installed during a prior owner's
time, following (presuming the hourmeter which was still in place when the
new tach/hourmeter was installed was stopped on the exchange, or perhaps
before) hard charter service of nearly 7 years, we expect we'll never get
to the end of the life of our auxiliary propulsion unit.





Make that 7000 hours, not 7 years...

Sorry...

At our current usage, at a current ~4k hours, it will take us another 12-15
years to get to the old hourmeter's reading, let alone 10KH

Skip, non-political so not following the meanderings...
