week 2

this week I did one service on a Volvo ad 41 and the drive which was a DP 290. I also got to adjust the shift linkages on a pair of newer dph drives. I also got to pull heads on a 375 hp cat 3208 in a bayliner. the starboard head blew a gasket between the cylinders. and I also got to do a carb rebuild on a Yamaha 15 hp which was kind of different
38hrs

Week 1

Sorry about not posting earlier but so for week one I spent some time working on a D6 Volvo penta that a customer did the install himself but didn't install the right pcm and hcm so we swapped those out, had the starter rebuilt (it was really corroded) and new shift actuator. After that I got to gown down to Anacortes to start on installing a 343 cat in a seiner.

Hours: 43

so i tried posting my wheel bearing adjustment video i can't figure it out so ill have to show you it tomorrow. but what i learned from last week that really stuck with me is the wheel bearing adjustment and how important it is getting that preload just right to make sure you can get the most life out of that bearing as possible

last week i did a starting charging system test on my truck. i learned what happened when ur whole body weight falls on the positive cable going to the alternator and breaks the end off

the first week i made the battery cable ends and started doing the starting charging test sheets. when doing the battery cable terminals what i found most interesting was the heat shrink and the different kinds there was.

i had to do a lube service on my three crabbers two of which are diesels. the first one was in my 32 footer. it has 2011 315 hp yanmar 6lpa stzc with 451 hours on it. the oil capcity is 2.7 gallons of 15w40. it has one oil filter which took about an hour. i also did a new gimbol bearing in the transom since i had the drive off. i had to send the drive off to a shop to have a new clutch cone and u joints  installed. the bearing took about 2 hours and then installed the drive and filled it with fluid which took about another 2 hours. then i moved on to my gillnetter which has a 200 hp cummins 4.2 liter which has about 642 hours on it. it has 2.4 gallon capcity and it also takes 15w40 and it has one spin on filter. that took about an hour. also drained and refilled the drive whcih took an hour. i also did an oil change on a chevy 350 in our smaller crabber total time  on that for engine oil and drive oil was 2 hours.
