Fellow Port Engineers,

We are urgently in need of a Cat C-175 Head,  either reman or new. The kicker is it is a EPA Tier 3 and Cat has at least (4) of them in the world but they keep them in Australia.  Trouble is the boat is in Oakland, CA  and getting parts from there to here is another story based on the pandemic issues, global warming, or other current issues we are all getting from vendors. Presently we have no ETA on delivery and vessel is down.

Part #’s as follows:

Reman-20R9208

New 581-8826

Engine Serial is M601103

 

Please call me if you have any you can sell, lend,  lease or let us borrow. We will replace as required.

All,

This is still a great tool to have in your box. Shortly after sending this Tim at Signet hooked us up with his protected spares and vendor (Holt Cat) to get us what we needed and headed this way. About the same time, Ed at Western offered his spares. I really appreciate what we set up and have not maintained for a few years,  is still working well. I wish I had equipment that ran as good! Thanks Tim and Ed, I look forward to paying it forward someday.

 

On a sad note, we are attending Jim Geddes funeral today. Jim was member of this group early on and was a great port engineer and friend. He worked at Sause Brothers Long Beach for many years. He will be missed at Sause and by all his friends in our community.

23 years ago to be exact Jerry, thats when Randy, Dana, John B and I stood out in the rain at the Foss shipyard and came up with the idea of the WCPE group. The group, like some of our equipment is not too well maintained anymore, but agree that the basics are still there and this extremely talented group can benefit. 

My condolences to Jim and his family, as you note he was one of the earlier contributors to the group. I recall some great discussions with Jim. 

Take care all, the best to everyone.

Beings everyone is in support of the group the time has come to have a meeting to move forward.

Dana is riding off in the sunset and Johanna is open to updating the group but wants a meeting to confirm.

Let me know what works out for everyone’s schedule, if Covid is an issue we can do a Skype or Zoom meeting.

I am good either way but an in person meeting is preferred. It looks like we should all be moving around more freely in a few months.
We just need to see what our friends to the north need to do to travel. Hopefully these long quarantine periods go away.
