Lord Nelson Victory Tug (LNVT)

Mechanical and Engine Detail

• Power: Cummins 4BT3.9M 150 hp Turbo Diesel, ~4500 hours (3/2011)
• Annual oil analysis always good, results available
• Cooling: Heat exchanger using engine coolant and raw (salt) water
• Exhaust: Wet (new wet exhaust hose 11/2011)
• Shaft: 2 inch stainless steel
• Two 12V automatic bilge pumps, backup has alarm (light and horn)
• Gusher manual bilge pump
• 12V Sure-Flow pump for fresh water in galley and head
• 12V Jabsco shower pump
• 12V macerator pump for holding tank
• Propeller: 4 Blade bronze 24"X20" (w/spare propeller on board)
• Stuffing box
• Steering: Chain cable to quadrant
• Conrols: One station Morse
• Fuel: Four aluminum tanks, ~230 gallons, 3/16" walls (New 11/2011)
• Gate valves for each tank with neoprene lines (new 11/2011)
• Four deck fill ports for fuel which allows better fuel consumption monitoring and more accurate use of biocides/fuel stabilizers. The fill port on each tank is located on the outboard edge of each tank. This allows the fill hose to be almost vertical from the deck fill port. This is a huge improvement over the original installation since it allows for much faster refueling and eliminates the "burbing" that occurs with the factory installed lines. The standard installation has about 4 feet of fill hose and vent line resting on the top of each tank which traps air and fuel in each of the lines. That residual fuel is an excellent breeding location for microbial contaminants in the fuel. The new installation eliminates the potential for fuel remaining in the lines after refueling.
• Fuel vents on the starboard tanks rise vertically above the top of the tank with no horizontal bends. The port side vents rise to just below the deck level before a horizontal bend is made. Each tank vent is on the outboard edge of the tank, next to the fill port. This is a big improvement over the original installation since it allows for much faster refueling and eliminates the "burbing" that occurs with the original installation due to the long horizontal runs in the vent lines.
• Fuel quantity in each of the tanks is measured with a Tank Tender
• Single Racor filter for initial separation of water/particulates
• Dual Racor filters with 5 micron elements for particulates/water. Vacuum gage allows monitoring of the filters to ensure partially obstructed filters can be changed in a timely manner. Dual filters allow one filter element to be changed while the engine continues to run with fuel going through the second filter.
• Water: Two 100 gallon stainless steel tanks, each measured with the Tank Tender
• Water Heater: Raritan 1700 6 gallon, heated off engine or with 110v (New 11/2011)
• Waste: 18 gallon w/Y valve, deck pump out
• Raritan manual toilet
• Propane: Two 5 gallon fiberglass tanks located in stack. Fiberglass tanks don't rust and you can see the amount of propane remaining in them.
• Air compressor: Stainless Steel tank rated at 150psi w/3 access/exit ports. One port operates horns. Second port could supply single stage regulator for underwater repairs. Third is in engine room for cleaning or winterizing water lines. Automatic cut in/cut out switch to maintain air pressure when underway.
• Horns: Kallenberg whistle & horn
• Salon/V Berth Heat: Espar diesel furnace using fuel from one of the starboard forward tank
• Salon/Pilot House: Heater Craft 5H 14,000 BTU heater using engine hot water while underway. This is the same type of heater used in a school bus.
• Bottom Paint- Petit Trinidad "hard" bottom paint. All old paint ablative bottom was removed before the Trinidad was applied (6/2011).
