Not sure if the 150's were as high maintenance as the 200's we had on the sea tow boats.


Some crappy designs in that. They had a water cooled computer that ran things. One "feature" was that the cooling line was exceptionally narrow and clogged very easily. The computer would over heat and go to a "runback" mode not allowing over 2500rpms.

We found even the slightest bit of dirt would clog it. Had to back flush it to remove the clog. A poor design.

Like I said, that was 200 HPs. We had four of them.
