"Calabrone" back for routine maintenance - Winter 2010

We picked up "Calabrone" in the fall at her summer home in Western Connecticut for winter storage at Noank Village boatyard. After major repairs and refinishing last winter, the twin 236 HP Steyr Diesels were to receive some much needed, but minor attention.

"Calabrone" was positioned inside where she would remain in a climate-controlled environment. We began by assessing her needs. Laptop computer diagnostics determined several "trouble" codes, including documentation of an intermittent starting problem we had been chasing. The starboard engine was later pulled to facilitate repairs.

Engines received the following service interval maintenance:
• Timing belt tension checked.
• Valve clearance checked.
• Engine timing checked.
• Injector's inspected/valves torque.
• Rack calibrated/control link adjusted/injector stroke checked.
• Antifreeze changed.
• Glow Plugs-Replaced.
• Vibration Damper torque.
