Louder than I prefer, its annoying trying to have a conversation on the flybridge. I prefer the modern quiter electronic diesels.


I find it embarresing to fire up smokey diesels down a quite marina, or with people on board. On the Rybovich we would light them off about an hour before everyone shows up, and let them smoke as we went in the saloon or wiped dew off the bow. After 15 minutes they would have a little heat in them so when you start them up again the smoke isn't that bad. Than when people show up cast off the lines, light them off and go to keep the smoke at bay.
