Unlike you, JaxAss, I've actually been aboard two longline fishing
boats, neither of which were anywhere near the size of the Andrea Gail.
One had a small diesel engine, the other a gasoline engine. One had a
fiberglass hull, the other, a wood hull. I've also had the privilege of
"guest" time aboard a number of other commercial vessels, including a
number of oil platform service boats and ships in the Gulf of Mexico, a
couple of shrimpers out of the St. Marys River in the southeast, and one
of the Moran-named Moran tugs way back in the 1960s.

I suspect your boating experience is limited to sitting in your clapped
out little daysailer while decked out in your Speedo, attacting flies
and guys.

My interest in boat engines is limited to their running well enough and
efficiently enough to get me back to shore. On my current boats, I
perform a brief pre-operation checklist and start them up. I keep them
spotless. When the hourmeter says it is time for them to be serviced,
they get serviced. So far the relationship has worked out well. I don't
perseverate on them.

This past weekend, I changed the oil on my smaller tractor. I looked
carefully at the discarded oil as I poured it into the jug I'll use to
take it over to the disposal facility. I checked the plugs, too. Should
I have changed them?

Now, tell me, what kind of engine do I have in my tractor? Gas or diesel?

Wrong again, bongbrain. Never made any such claim. I never saw the AG

I did say it was possible the AG had a gasoline engine on board to power
some sort of aux. equipment, or as a backup power supply. It's not such
a great idea on a diesel-powered boat, but it is done. I've seen it.

There's the old Continental Model LDS-465-1A. 600hp Multi Fuel. Miltary

ones are still out there in work boats and trucks. In the 70s you could even
buy a Toyota Land Cruiser with one of these Multi Fuel engines.

Oh I love this engine and they can be had for a relatively small amount of
money. I actually use a picture of one in a duce and half as my desk top
picture (yea I'm weird). I also have a copy of the military service manual
for the engine. It is actually a descent read (see comment about in
prentices)... I am surprised to hear they are being used in boats. I had
considered this but figured you can't get a marine transmission with a bell
housing that would fit the engine. I wanted to build a nice steel hulled
boat about 35ft with a small front cabin and though two of these would be a
great way to power it. In diesel trim they only produce anywhere from 190
to 230hp so two may be a little more power then what is necessary but it
would sound great. Especially with the turbo chirp that is common with
these engines...

The one that is in the Duece and a half is a smaller motor I think. These

The LDT-465-1C was used in the duce and half from 1967 on to at least the
1970's but I do believe they still are being used but now with White
building the engines instead of Continental (guess Continental is now gone.
It is amazing how many of these engine are still running. I use to work in
a factory that ran generators powered by Hercules engines.). The nicest
engine I have ever seen was in an submarine (the Bowfin which is currently
at Pearl Harbor). Also a Continental diesel, all of the brass was
absolutely stunning.

I appreciate the up date about the bell housing I will look into that... I
don't know about the 5-ton trucks.

harelip, as you stated, those are military engines. Not very good engines, but
designed specificly to be able to use "multi fuels". However, *if* you try to
run them on gasoline you will find they don't run all that long. They really
are diesel engines with spark plugs to make them easier to start in cold
weather by dumping a high level of gas into the diesel fuel. Remember Korea
and the problems the military had with the cold?

harelip? you think the Andrea Gail had a surplus military multi-fuel engine in
it and the writer Sebastian Younger somehow managed to miss that tidbit?

so, base kisser, just *which* diesel engines (as used on longliner

fishing
boats) have spark plugs did you say?


Man, you are an absolute idiot! I NEVER said ANY diesel engines had
"spark plugs", you ****ing moron! I said diesel engines, and the
engine room of boats have many types of plugs. YOU are the dumb ass
who is claiming that when the author mentioned cleaning plugs, that it
had to have meant SPARK plugs. Are you too stupid to even realize what
you've said?

so, harelip, the Andrea Gail had a pre-WWII surplus multi-fuel engine?

I guess I have never heard that before. How did you happen on this interesting
tidbit, harelip?


First, let me start by saying that my 5 year old son is more mature
than you. He knows not to do that little kid name calling. Second, no
one said, with definity, that the Andrea Gail had ANY type of engine,
except YOU. There have been, however, many people here who have
offered viable explanations to your original post. Too bad you aren't
smart enough to understand and digest those explanations.

base kisser, the AG had a diesel engine, just like every other longliner within
1,000 miles. It REALLY is stew ped of you to argue the AG did indeed have
spark plugs that could be cleaned by a drunken crew the night before sailing
**because the author said so** and there are three boats in the universe with
WWII surplus multi-fuel engines that never go anywhere, let alone banks
fishing in late October.

now, back to study hall with you base kisser. it it 45 minutes until lunch.

First, it is really "stew ped" of YOU to say that *I* said that the AG
had spark plugs. Please show where I've said such a thing. Can you?

base kisser, you have been babbling on for weeks about how many ways the AG
"might" have plugs in its engine that a drucken crew might clean the night
before sailing.

just admit it, base kisser, the whole discussion was over your head for your
first several hundred posts and be done with it.

Hey...asshole..do you think you can "move on" here on this idiotic
topic...surely there is some fresh itty bitty detail of boating arcana
you can use to start a new discussion with as much value as a jar of
vomitus, eh?

Harry,
While you may be correct about Jaxsshby beating a dead horse, it appears
that he is trying to steer the conversation towards boating issues. It also
seems that the majority of regulars in Usenet hate to move on, even if the
topic is repetitive and boring, full of name calling, and have as much value
as a jar of vomitus.

It is also very common for people to see the faults of others, but are
blinded when they have the same faults.

PS - I like your use of word vomitus instead of using the word vomit, while
they both can mean matter ejected from the stomach, vomitus sounds very
intelligent, and vomit just sounds childish.
