New to this forum. Original owner of '05 Tiara 20 ft Coronet with 5.7 Crusaders with over 1800 hours. Curious how many hours may be the max on well maintained gas engines used in salt water before re-power. I know valve job may be necessary after about 1800 hours but will engines last over 2500 hours.

Thanks 

Bill

it seems it might be a little sluggish.  Where to start first?  Fluid in the little fill hole? What kind?  Seastar??  TIA.

I own a 2004 Coronet 2900 with 5.7 Crusaders with 1900 hours. Both engines need elbows, exhaust manifolds, oil and transmission coolers. Oil analysis shows salt in Port engine so probably needs valve job. Probably will do both engines at the same time. Also considering re-power with Crusader 6.0 MPI non catalytic. Any comments and do I need differ props for reposer.

Would anyone know where or if in 1988 did Tiara install galvanic isolator? I'll be honest owned the boat for one season and really do not remember seeing one, but haven't looked either.

Does anyone have experience replacing the runners and trucks for the two piece sliding cabin door on a 41 Open?  The plexiglass cover piece which needs to be removed to get to the doors is somehow bonded to the fiberglass and it seems difficult to remove without damaging the cover piece.
