Trawler DIY: Racor 900 Installed

We removed the old single Racor 500 and installed the dual Racor 900 system with hard copper lines and electric fuel pump. I also reconfigured the flow path to help the generator stay primed and easier to start. Here is the pump I used. The Facet should be a bit higher quality than some of the cheaper models. It's a good reliable pump. www.ebay.com/itm/Solid-State-...

I have the same engine and was looking at doing a bow thruster. I like your mount and pump, can you send some more photos of the hydraulic pump and mount?
Thank you for the video

Actually i was going to do a video on it soon. Its a Dickson stern thruster and has been very very reliable.

I thought you were not supposed to use copper lines with diesel?

Intrigue is a Lien Hwa or Tung Hwa Clipper 30? I owned a very nice version of your boat for years. Same fuel setup with 120 Lehman. Your videos on the dual Racors is very timely for me, as I’ve just bought the same set up for my Willard Voyager 30. Engine is Perkins Prima M50.

Jim...Intrigue is a Tung Hwa Senator. But its the same as the Clipper, SeaHorse and several others. Glad the video was helpful. Willard is an awesome, capable vessel. Good luck brother.
