Congratulations from me too SD. She looks a very fine ship. I've always liked that model of boat. Hope you have some great cruises in 2012. If you wake up one day and decide that a machine like that belongs in the Med give us a shout and we will help you get a berth in South of France. You know it makes sense

Nice engines those QSB5.9 Diamond's !! Initially I thought them very high output for the volume, but they have proved themself as very reliable I believe. Got a friend who have 5.9's and only problem he has had is the raw water pump, which had a broken shaft and needed replacement ...

Alf,
Sherwood 17XX Series raw water pumps have a colourful history. Used by CAT, Cummins and Deere, they do not hold a candle against older Jabsco stuff, or for that matter Johnson pumps used by Volvo.
QSB uses a high mounted pump self adjusting set up and the 17XX shaft failure appears to have been eliminated, however thay can still leak.
The QSB has been a real star, the original top rated 425 proved so reliable and durable that it was allowed to be sold as a commercial rating and the QSB 480 has proved to be well on top of the job. Had some QSB's running at 700 hp in a race boat, worked fine at this power level, however they go bang when you try to squeeze 750 hp out of them.
As Daka pointed out a while back QSB grows up to 6.7 at Tier III next year and top rating will be 550 hp.
