Cisco's sport fishing

If I ever buy a sport fishing boat I can tell you for a fact it won't have Detroits in it. I couldn't stand listening to that noise all day.

Why do amarican diesel engines alsways start this bad…..

2 stroke diesels sound so awesome.

Double Breasted Yamahs's

Really fun when the mechanical rack freezes up while off, which means its in a wide open position, start engine, and it goes to complete runaway. Best hope the turbo inlet trip valve works.

It would be interesting to equip each of these engines with a pair of Thermostart flame heaters inserted so they poked through the airbox covers and directly heated the air on cold starts before it was drawn into the cylinders..... Hot air helps compression ignition to 'fire"..... Many older diesels used these flame heaters in their metal intake manifolds and it beats using ether for safety and engine longevity....

It wasn’t only the sound but the smell of salt and diesel smoke. On party boats out of NH back in the 80’s with my grandfather. Will never forget those trips.

My goodness ...SWEET

Nice. The wood grain on the lower part of the pole left in the video looks like an owl.

Beautiful sounds.

Those are not the happiest starters.

Fake, too clean to be a detroit!

Holy what’s better than a Detroit…… 2 Detroits!!!

Nice engines. 2 stroke diesel.

As all the people come running to the dock with their bus tickets...

The Diesel Vanagon had almost enough power to pull a tricycle over a cliff - if it had a really strong tailwind. The "popcorn" Waterboxer had some pep, but if you made the mistake of letting it get just a teensy bit too warm, it blew the "head gaskets". (Quote marks intentional. I was a dealership parts manager when it was introduced, and I was also still a VW enthusiast. I'm the one who coined the term "popcorn motor" for the Waterboxer when I saw what those gaskets looked like in the parts microfiche. I haven't owned or driven any VW since about 1994, when I sold my Ghia to someone who wanted to restore it.)

I had a 46 Bertram w Detroits. Like a rock

Worse thing to do is run them no load idle at dock. Wet stack stuck rings oocur . Best to start warm up get out under load asap.. We had marina i warned people not to idle for hours at dock smoke out marina also. I have brain damage from noise of these for years fixed them .

🎼I hear a symphony . . ." 🎵🎶

Who cares about a cold start?

I love the smell of Diesel in the morning.

Just another example how we know Detroit is the Motor City.

My uncle owns crew boats and supply boats in Texas. They service offshore platforms and ships. Had two 125ft fast crew boats. One had triple v12 cats (3412's) the other had triple Detroit 16v-149's. VERY distinct sounds from each one. FYI - the second set of numbers on Detroit's, is the individual cubic centimeters per cylinder. 8V-92 means V8 motor and each cylinder is 92 cubic centimeters.

One of the most unmistaken sounds, nothing screams like a Detroit

man I live in ma..I wana charter this thing .2 detroits singing ohhh ya baby

Real cream puffs, but like all older engines, there being phased out😮

Love to hear those Detroits sing!!!!

Dad's 65 Hatteras had 16v92 turbos. They started at the slightest bump of the button. Crank wouldn't even go through 90º of rotation before they'd light off. Never tried it below about 50ºF though... Is there something wrong with these 8v71s, or was it just the cold? The sound: Can't nobody claim Detroits sound "sweet" or "mellow"; and the "screamin' Jimmy" nickname is well earned...they always sound like they're taking it in the shorts - but boy, do they work. You learn to like their busy, urgent sound.

that must suck the fuel right down

Jfc jakes on the rv!?!?!?!?! I fucking died thats amazing 🤣

great memories

So cool! Detroit's rule.

8V71 Detroits, when running right and warm, produce virtually no smoke. Worked with buses. Start them up, put on fast idle.

Love your Hatteras, she's a beauty. I have a Viking myself

Baldwins 😢

12v71 not 12v92

i’ll tell you what, that’s music to my ears

beast!

Where’s Bus Grease Monkey on those slow starts?…lol

Needs block heaters. It's on the dock so no problemo warming them up for a while.

If I owned a similar boat, i’d swap out whatever was in there for two Mercedes OM606 engines. 3.0 litre inline 6 cylinder diesel, big turbos, big injector pumps, 1000hp.

I always assumed the district sound was from being a two stroke ? Correct assumption?

Yeah but the guy with the scooter in fucked when there is rain ice snow ect ect lol

Блюз двотактного детройта .

Such awesome footage! This is wonderful and to see great footage of both trains and Artie doing his magic with his baby Shay 5.

Back in the 70's and 80's when you needed power and you meant business, 2 stroke Detroit diesel. Actually in commercial ships like the ferries in Seattle the EMD 2 strokes are still competitive motors. Only recently have trains gone to high speed four stroke motors, and as usual they're Cummins. In the end the Cummins must be the best motor because they're the only diesel manufacturer who has been able to keep up. Even Mercedes is using Cummins on their compact and medium trucks now. Ok mercedes gave up to Cummins diesel motors.

freakin weymouth buddy

2:07 sounds so good!

Are they 2 stroke detroits?
