STEWART & STEVENSON SERVICES, INC. is proud to have supplied three Electro-Motive Diesel Division of General
Motors Corporation, Model 12-710 G7B marine diesel engines, 3000 BHP each at 900 RPM, and three Lufkin Model RS 3626 reverse reduction gears, in ratio of 4.34 to one, for the repower of the MA/
HARRIET ANN. The HARRIET ANN has joined the ranks of hundreds of towboats with EMD power.
The series 710 EMD offers such a low specific fuel consumption that repowering a workboat with 710's will, in most cases, pay for itself in a very short time. The 710, like all EMD's, is easy to maintain or overhaul. The 710 turbocharger has a tougher clutch that is separately replaceable. 710 parts are available through the EMD unit exchange (UTEX) program.
EMD's have been running for 30,000 hours or more between overhauls in tough towboat service, which is mostly full power running. Overhauls are quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive. The EMD pre- mium power packs with hardened upper bore liners (HUB liners) and hardened upper ring groove pistons have mostly rebuildable components.
The engines, like all EMD's, are smooth running and accelerate quickly to full load RPM.
We are pleased that Riverway Co chose EMD power for the HARRIET ANN.
Let us demonstrate for you how EMD 710 engines can pay for themselves in your boat.
