Thanks man. Great video!

Unfortunately everyone..for a new boat owner the amount of systems dependant on water cooling is ridiculous, Trucks and buses cool off with AIR. Just food for thought.

Thank you very much Chuck ! Buying a Ranger w/same engine... extremely helpful...

2015 R-27 (D3-200) new owner. My engine warning indication came on that the (secondary) water separator was full. Which meant that both the primary and secondary separators had water in them. So we took the sensor off the secondary filter (on engine) and drained it, replaced the filter. Then I could not get the nut off the bottom end of the primary filter housing. So we removed the entire unit and disassembled. The bottom half (primary) which is a water separator too was full of gunk. So disassembly really was required to clean it all out. All total we got about a cup of water out of the units. My point here is that it is hard to see how bad the bottom of the primary unit is by looking in from the top of it with the cap off, even after dumping all the fuel out of it.

Thank you for making and sharing these instructional videos.

Great video, thanks Chuck. Where can I buy the brass fitment you mentioned that fits into the oil drain hose and then to the pump? I have tried drawing cold oil out of the dipstick filler and it’s very slow. I am draining cold because I have water contamination ( self inflicted mistake!), engine has not started so really want to get all the oil out of my D6 , refill it then start it, drain again and change oil and filters a second time.hence the question

Chuck you should keep up on the Ranger videos. Have watched the As the Tug Turns, but service videos are always great to turn back to.

Anyone know where the zincs are located ?

Excellent video!

This guy is fantastic. Thank you. I would love to see how you flush the heat exchanger on the D4. I haven’t seen anything for that online yet.

Unicorn

Wow a unicorn!!!!!!! A black guy that is so well spoken, hard working and HUMBLE??? Wow wow wow wow

This dude is a unicorn. Not to sound racist but when was the last time a black dude work for over 40 years, a mechanic, and just great vocabulary and pleasant body language……

We did impellers and heat exchanger clean every year. Man, looks hard to get to that thru hole hose to check flow.

So nice having the oil change system, we always added those.

I think ALL owners should have to take a class on their engines. It is amazing how clueless most folks are. Money are not, it's your responsibility to be educated on your vessel. I've seen it all over all my years. I'm not sating this to jerk. It's like an airplane to some degree. You need to be self sufficient an know how to get yourself out of a jam as best as possible. Some things we just can't help. But for him to have to travel 70 miles to push in a dip stick.... that's messed up.

As a former diesel engine marine tech I can really appreciate this engine and his teaching. Now the Ranger Tug, that's another discussion. Lot of information on that but this is not the place.

Chuck is one of the nicest guys you will meet. I am glad we have him at Reed here in Michigan.

excellent video thanks -i presume the D6 is the same?

Transmission fluid?

where to buy pump

This dude is awesome. If I were to purchase a boat, I would hope to buy from him. This is a rare individual. Cheers!

Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a 2019 Ranger Tug R-29 CB with the same engine and this is going to be so helpful for changing my oil and filters. Also, I really like that oil change pump rig you have. I assume you can pump directly into the bucket under the pump? Seems like a good setup!

Chuck is very good at explaining the functions of these components.

Great video, thank you! Do you have the part numbers for the filters?

Alguém tem um manual de instalação com eixo?

Super useful - very well done!

Algún conocimiento para sincronizar los mandos

Can you show on volvo penta d3

Awesome vedio thank you Sir

Another good video Chuck , thank you

Keep up the good work Chuck ! Great video

Very good video! Thank you!

What about the engine Air circulation filter? If this is not changed, you will risk oil in the bilge. I know from experience.

I'm glad I found you . Out of the many awesome KZbin videos out there on these boats you are on another level .

How do I flush this motor after using it in saltwater. Is there a garden hose attachment anywhere?

Thanks for your sharing

lovely clean work, but don't use an adjustable wrench for the bleed: too easy to slip and damage the nut. Ring spanners where possible!

Great video. How about the Air Filter and the Crankcase Ventilation Filter? Those should be done every 200hrs same as what you just did. Also a video on the impeller would have been nice.

What is the average usage time before overhauling the engine? Thanks

Thank you sir!

do you have a video on impeller change?

Thanking you again for preparing new boating owners for what to expect. Greatfull for you taking the time to share.

Thank you for sharing your video, I'm preparing to purchase a 2015 R27 tug and wanted some confidence in learning the electronics. Greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to share!

great video..love to know what brand and color of coolant to add...i have a D4 300

Excellent training video! Thanks for the upload!

Thank you Sir

Another great video Chuck .... thanks & keep up the good work
