Hi,

My name is Jim,  and my wife and I are getting a 1999 4100.  We are just about to acquire it and the broker we received this from is not very familiar with the workings of everything on the boat.  We had all the surveys done on the boat but have not had anyone that has actually owned and operated it.    

We have owned several boats in the past but this is the first with Diesels ( DD 6V92).  I was curious if there is anyone close to us that is familiar with the operation of the 4100.  I have read the Owners Manuel but it is somewhat vague.  There is always some special little quirks to every boat and you can find out from trial and error.  I am trying to lessen that learning curve.

So if there is anyone close by that can help me on this I would be grateful.

I have a 1999 Open with 6V92’s. Both of mine are rebuilt with 350 or less hours. DO NOT let them get hot or over 200! Mine run at 180 in Lk Michigan. They like 1800 rpmsat cruise- you can go more but why. Let them warm up before you go and let them cool down before you shut them down. Its a great hull and heck of a boat. Take it slow and easy as you get use to the torque in marinas or close to other boats and slips. Have fun. PS: do a visual on engines before you fire them up and obviously check oil and coolant. I have my impellers changed every season along with oil and all filters.
