Machinery

DIRT POOR is powered by twin Caterpillar 3412C diesels rated at 1,350 hp each, a time-tested package prized for durability, worldwide service support, and long lifecycle reliability. As of September 2025, both engines show approximately 8,020 hours, with the port engine benefiting from a top-end rebuild in 2023, and the yacht’s disciplined service regimen keeping performance squarely on song. Supporting systems have been carefully maintained and upgraded as needed—generator rebuilds, air-conditioning replacement, and shore power conversion among them—so that her machinery spaces reflect the continuous upkeep that underpins safe, extended cruising. The main engines are 2 x Caterpillar 3412C, 1,350 hp each, with standard shaft drive and hours recorded at Port 8,020 and Starboard 8,020 (September 2025). Electrical generation is by 2 x Northern Lights 55 kW three-phase units, with hours of Port 33,000 and Starboard 29,000 as of September 2025—both rebuilt in 2022—supplemented by shore power via 2 x 100-amp circuits, dual LaMarche isolation transformers, dual Stabline voltage booster/regulators, and 12V and 24V automatic battery chargers. Shore power conversion is handled by an ANG SPC 75 kW master-and-slave converter with input that is auto-ranging, multi-voltage, single or three-phase at 50–60 Hz, and dual-cord output at 120/208V+N, three-phase, 60 Hz US, installed new in April 2023. Climate control is robust, with 2 x Dometic and 2 x Flow Marine chillers delivering a total of 20 tons with all-titanium construction, complemented by three soft-start compressors of 5 tons each (60,000 BTU), Aqua Air fan coil assemblies, and five new Dometic air handlers fitted in March 2022 for the salon and galley, plus an air-conditioned lazarette.

Navigation is equally robust, with a Simrad RA713CA color radar at the bridge and Furuno ARPA on the flybridge, a Plath gyrocompass, and C Plath Navpilot V autopilots at both the bridge and flybridge. Depth and water-speed data are provided by B&G Hydra 2000 at both stations, supported by a large B&G 20/20 CD pack display and a Datamarine D3000, while GPS navigation is delivered by Northstar 952X and 6000i plotters at the bridge and flybridge, and charting by Nobeltec Admiral Series. Additional aids include a Sperry Marine rudder angle indicator, dual spotlight remote controls for bridge and flybridge, and an ESL-1500 fire alarm panel integrated with the bilge panel. Entertainment is centered on a Fusion stereo system with SiriusXM satellite radio, zoned for the flybridge, sundeck, and bow to keep the soundtrack perfectly tuned to each deck.
