Thanks
I have to travel up and down the Detroit River which sometimes require 3 to 4 hours running at continuous speed between 5.5 and 6 knots due to adverse currents and wind.
The motor seems to be working a little harder after 3 or so hours.
I am worried about possible thrust bearing or other bearing becoming hot .
Motor has fresh oil,cooling system flushed ,stuffing box very slow drip.
Any comments appreciated
