    Thanks for that. And perhaps a better job with the fuel polisher wouldn't hurt.

    Then am I to understand that I should occasionally run it up to 1900rpm for 30 min to clean it out and reseat the rings?

    Thank you for that insight. Yes, my typo = 3126b - inline 6 - turbo. And it is true that I do not push the boat much. 45' single engine trawler, and in no real hurry. Run at 1500-1600rpm when traveling. Never been to full throttle, maybe 2,400?

    I do not notice power reduction once up to temperature nor have I ever seen black smoke. I appreciate the suggestions and will look into getting a compression test as next step. Thanks!

    I'm in New England. Using the block heater does help, even in the summer. Recently had 1k hr service performed, but did not eliminate it. A compression variance was never mentioned.

    Fair amount of white smoke at startup, slowly goes away as engine comes up in temp. Any thoughts on cause????
