Default Huh? Diesel engines don't last 800 hours before major repairs??

"steve", I was just taking your words at face value. Am I the only person on
the planet who has done so in the last two decades?

tell us again that diesel engines as used in commercial fishing boats need to
be "torn down" for a major overhaul after every several hundred hours usage,
and how drunken, nervous crew "clean the fuel injector plugs" the night before
leaving just to be sure.

The claim has been made by a poster on this ng who calls himself "steve"

that
diesel engines as used on commercial fishing boats are often torn down for a
major overhaul after every trip to sea, about 700+ engine time.

Anyone here have experience with diesel engines in commercial fishing boats?


do those guys really trust their lives to engines that won't go even a

thousand
hours? Anybody know why they do this?

Or is "steve" out to lunch?


Is this joxie the same person who claims that it's impossible to clean
the injectors of a diesel engine? Is this the same joxie who claims
that commercial fisherman go to sea for a month at a time on a single
engine without even checking it before they leave? Yup, that's our
idiot joxie.
