An 86-foot seiner built by John Manly Shipyards of Vancouver for Ocean Fisheries and Wishing Star Fisheries, also of Van- couver, the Ocean Marauder cruises along the Pacific Northwest Coast, fishing for sal- mon and herring. The fish holds are styrofoam lined and fiberglass covered to insulate and protect the catch, and a built-in bubbling system circu- lates slush ice and brine uniformly through the tanks. The Ocean Marauder provides comfortable living quarters for Capt. John Lenic and his five-man crew. Fuel and fresh- water tanks have capacities of 3,400 and 1,730 gallons, respectively. The sleek steel- hulled vessel's 13-foot molded depth and 24- foot beam accommodates four fish holds, with a total volume of 5,600 cubic feet and catch capacity of 160 tons. On-deck and bridge equipment includes a 48-inch by 17-inch two-motor purse main winch, manufactured by Hytac Ltd., a Pilk- ington Blacksmith's net drum, and various boom and line winches by Gearmatic Co. Electronic components onboard, including radar, radio and depth finder units, are man- ufactured by Wagner. The Ocean Marauder's compact KT-2300-M V-12 turbocharged diesel, with a continuous duty rating of 700 bhp (522 kw) at 1,800 rpm, drives a three-blade 64-inch by 66-inch Western stainless-steel propeller in a Kort- type nozzle. Power is provided through a Twin Disc MG-527, 5.17:1 gear. The low surface-area-to-volume ratio due to large cylinder displacement along with improved manifolding, short injection period and im- proved breathing, all make the KT-2300-M one of the most fuel-efficient marine diesels available in its size and horsepower range. For ease of maintenance and serviceability, the Cummins K engine also includes internal fuel and oil lines, and individual cylinder heads. The Ocean Marauder debuts the first Cummins KT- 2300-M diesel engine to power a commercial fishing boat in North America, as it starts sea trials off Vancouver. Cummins Diesel Sales of B.C. Ltd., North Burnaby, B.C., supplied the KT-2300-M en- gine and Twin Disc marine gear, as well as the Cummins NT-495 marine auxiliary en- gine and a Cummins V-555-M rated at 185 hp continuous duty for the seine skiff. The NT-495 operates the vessel's generator, hy- draulic system and bow thrusters. get the best TURECAMO on your side «E« VMMm 38 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
