You may want to look on boat diesel . I don't believe the Capitals re made anymore so part could be a issue . I would have to verifie this

Yes, Capital is out of business. There are a couple sources for parts at this time though. I was quoted 3k for a valve, and 3k for cooler and hoses, plus misc parts and labor to the tune of 7500 per engine. Can't seem to find anyone that has this setup. Same Detroit diesels and Capital transmissions were in many other big sportfishing boats.
