Magnom prevents failure in power boat

When the owner of a 1500 bhp, 45ft off shore powerboat wanted to ensure that his expensive engine failures (a 3500 bhp Big block Chevrolet) were minimised, to deliver this he immediately specified Magnoms Previous engine failures had been attributed to high carbon steel contaminant being introduced to the 'big end' and main bearing assemblies by the oil flow
The changing of the oil more often was not desirable as it is particularly challenging in the marine environment.
Also finer conventional filters, if available, would only have served to starve oil flow and cause greater problems.
"When you are extracting this kind of horsepower from any power unit, you need the best protection you can get for it, extending oil life and power plant life is absolutely essential".
The Magnom systems have prevented failure altogether.
