Because they put so many hours on it at a time. Because they depend on
their single engine to get them out and back over thousands of miles at
a time. Because the engines we're talking about are made to be easily
serviced with replacable wear items.


Your mistake is assuming that he meant "spark" plugs when he said plugs

I made no mistake at all. the author made the mistake, I just noticed it. you
schlackoff, on the other hand, STILL are not sure that maybe the author was
right and the crew cleaned the plugs the night before they left.

The author may have made a mistake, and may not have made a mistake.
You just can't read, that's all. You added "spark" in front of plugs
when it wasn't there. So no matter what the author said, you were wrong
and like always, just can't admit it.

there you have it, folks, schlackoff telling us that the diesel engines used by
commercial fishermen are so unreliable that those engine have "to be torn down"
after every trip to sea.

Yeah.

There's your reading comprehension problem shining through again. The
reason those diesel engines are so reliable is that they are usually
serviced after every long trip to sea. When your livelyhood and life
depend on an engine running, you take care of it.

of course, schlackoff, by tearing the down to do a major overhauls after ever

sure they do, schlackoff. sure they do. but first they "clean the plugs".

Depends on how long the trip was and how long the next trip will be.
The fact is that they often (not all the time) do a teardown between
such trips. Accept it, deal with it. Don't stress over it.

sure they do, schlackoff. sure they do. but first they "clean the plugs".

They might.

Steve

schlackoff, a month at sea is the same as a month on shore, 720 hours. did you
intend to really say that the diesel engines used in commercial fishing boats
won't go even 800 hours before being in need of a teardown for a major
overhaul??

If not, why did you say that?

After 800 hours the engineer would probably check plenty of things
before putting on another 800 hours. It's not very hard to do on those
boats and well worth the time. It's probably his main job while in
port... getting the boat and engine ready for the next trip.

If not, why did you say that?

Because that's what they do.

schlackoff, only in some strange universe known only to you.

schlackoff, we are waiting for you to tell just what kind of "plugs" the
diesel engine on a commercial fishing boat has that might be cleaned by the
nervous crew the night before departing.

Shall we hold our collective breath for your help in filling this gap in our
understanding?

Anything from electrical plugs to hair plugs. The point is that you
made a reading mistake by putting spark in front of plugs when it wasn't
there. It's actually quite common for people to do things like that,
i.e, fill in a familiar missing word subconsciously. It's what you did
and you just can't admit you made a mistake.

Yes, hold your breath.
