I've been contemplating putting my 54' Sportfish up for sale so I've been trying to take notice of anything discussing the current market. Seems...
Just curious, do you need the extra fuel routinely or is this for a one time extended voyage? I can't imagine dealing with bladders and fuel...
Wow - the market has softened/collapsed that much?
Still in the deep freeze of winter so my boat and tender are hibernating in their cozy winter den. Ask me again after the spring thaw :):)
I have the CAT 1150hp C18’s in my boat. They use a bit over 80 GPH at 80% load for cruising. Right about 86 gpm. My boat is a little bigger though...
Understood. I just find it odd that ZF offers no viscosity/temp chart like virtually everyone else does. I know they keep temperature in mind...
I just checked the manual for my ZF 655 gears. It has interval of 500hrs/annually other than the first change at 50 hrs. Regarding viscosity, the...
If memory serves it as a 1000 her change interval but I would need to verify. Don’t recall any mention of annual. I was doing my first change...
I changed the oil in my ZF 665’s after this past season. 30 wt is what they called for.
3116TA at only 150 hp? Is that a typo perhaps? Didn’t realize they came in that low of hp rating? Even if you get comfortable with the history and...
Victron for the win

Looks like the SS Minnow from Gilligan’s Island. This is for those of us old enough to know what I’m talking about
It depends if you can get the Alum clean enough to weld. When you heat alum via welding it draws any contaminants to the surface making it...
‘In the commercial world it is based on % of loss from original thickness. Anything more than 25% loss in thickness and regulatory bodies will...
I went ahead and ordered the SeaStar Baystar hydraulic kit. Installation looks pretty straightforward. I figured by the time I take the cable...
It it were me I think I would try to rig the stern to that corner dock pile. Maybe even a belly strap under the stern once you get it rolled. If...
I'm not surprised to hear the hydraulic is much better. I don't think I'll have clearance issues for the ram so should be pretty straight forward...
I have a 2016 14’ Novurania with a 60 hp Yamaha I carry on the bow. Absolutely love the little boat. However, the steering is stiffer than a...
My Starlink antenna is above my radar. Not by a lot. Maybe 1' or so.
