MSHS completed the repair and overhaul of two DEUTZ TBD 616
V16 engines on the 74 foot thrill ride boat Seadog.
In March 2012, MSHS first surveyed the commercial passenger
vessel Seadog. The customer reported that the engines were
overheating. After the initial inspection, MSHS found that the
engines had been affected by heavy corrosion from water leaks
above the engines.
MSHS engineers concluded that a complete overhaul of both
engines was necessary to extend the lifetime and safe operation of
the engines and in order to get the engines in good condition for the
upcoming season. At the customer's request, the engine overhauls
had to be completed prior to the start of the 2012 season.

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Connecting rods lined up for measuring

The MSHS contract included:

Complete overhaul of two DEUTZ TBD 616 V16 main engines
Reconditioning of 2 x 2 injection pumps
Reconditioning of 2 x 2 turbochargers
Reconditioning 2 x 2 fresh and raw water pumps
Reconditioning of 2 x 16 cylinder heads
Repair and reconditioning of 2 x 1 heat exchangers
Repair and cleaning of 2 x 2 charge air coolers
Replacing all main bearings, big end bearings, cylinder liners,
and piston rings
Changing front and rear crankshaft seals including race rings
Ten years ago, MSHS sold the pair of DEUTZ TBD 616 V16
engines to the original owner of the vessel. Despite the heavy duty
use of the engines since 2003, including full 180-360 spins, high
speeds up to 30 knots and sharp twists and turns, the engines
remain in full operation.
The DEUTZ TBD 616 V16 engines met the requirements of the
customer. The boat management wanted an extremely compact
configuration with an optimal power-to-weight ratio (engine
weight: 2600 kg (5730 lb), engine output: 960 kW / 1287 HP,
engine speed: 2100 min).

Engine assembly in full progress

For the duration of the overhaul, the thrill ride boat was docked in
Baltimore, Maryland. MSHS managed the logistically challenging
transport of the two engines to the MSHS facility in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida and then returned them to Baltimore.
The completely overhauled engines were delivered to the
customer within one month as determined by the contract. MSHS
met the deadline and the Seadog was back in the water.
BENEFITS OF OVERHAUL:
Safe operation of the engine
Extends life of engine
Higher engine efficiency
Reduces emission & fuel consumption
Eliminates cost of new engine replacement
Lowers longterm operational costs
