Circle 207 on Reader Service Card was built by Halter Marine in 1976 under another name, and was originally powered by two 2400 HP German engines, until business and equipment problems laid her up.
Purchased by Harvey Gulf Marine of Louisiana in 1985, she was repowered with a pair of Dutch Stork Workspoor (now Wartsila) 2160 HP engines. She worked for 12 years until a crankshaft failed. The price for a replacement crank? Over $250,000.
Harvey Gulf decided to repower her, selecting a pair of remanufactured Elec- tro-Motive Division of General Motors (EMD) sixteen cylinder engines from
Stewart & Stevenson. EMD is by far the engine of choice for tugs and push- boats in this horsepower class. S&S delivered the replacement engines in less than 4 weeks. With her two 3070 HP engines, the tug pulled a whopping 127 tons bollard pull in her ABS certification tests.
We are proud to see the Harvey Trojan come home to get her EMDs.
A remanufactured crank for a 16 cylinder EMD costs about $10,000. A new one is just over $20,000. We don't sell many, but we do keep them in stock. In most boats, we can change one in a day. And EMD crankshafts built since the 1950's are interchangeable with crankshafts built today.
Before you select an engine for your boat, let Stewart &
Stevenson show you our new and remanufactured EMDs.
We can prove to you that the vast majority of operators have selected the engine with the lowest life cycle cost, low fuel consumption, low replacement parts cost, long time between overhauls, and — when you need it — quick delivery.
