Engines

"SAVVY is powered by a pair of rebuilt (2001) Cummins 903 diesel Motors that are flawless. Ships power is provided by a 2001 Northern Lights 8KW generator.

Access to the machinery space is excellent, and the entire fuel system was redone from the tanks to the motors. New AGM batteries were installed in 2018 and are charged by a new Pro Mariner smart charger.

The freshwater system has been upgraded to 400 gallons, and with the water maker, freshwater should never be a problem. The water pumps were upraded to smart pumps on a manifold system so if you were ever to lose a pump, the backup will kick in.
