Hi my name is john, and I currently live in Maryland between Annapolis and B-
more. The reason that Im here is that I've made a career of operating and
maintaining large Diesel Engines since I was very young until I was retired,
and will now concentrate on restoring and operating my own small ship, the
NOKOMIS, a Canadian Coast Guard Icebreaker, BuoyTender, with a Fairbanks
-Morse Model 31A- 61/4 X 9 6cyl. Diesel Engine.
I have great respect for these older slo-speed Diesels as I am farmiliar with
their newer high-speed - and even much higher horsepower sucessors, with
less torque and much higher fuel consumption, coupled with a much shorter life span, leave me not impressed.
I have a few manuals and parts books that I will Share with everyone thru-
Old Tachoma Marine, I am looking forward to our sucess.
Best Regards;
john
