Port engine runs 3% more load at cruise, washes out as hit govenors at full throttle. Engines are same rotation, port transmission runs in...
Sorry for the derail Not the best photo but gives an idea how the deadrise flattens out from the engines (reference the transducer block) going...
Drive train is straight. Engine beds are on shaft angle.
Transducer is happy there. Water pickups for GenSet and on opposite side AC are just in front of the thin bulkead and both run fine underway up...
Transmissions are Twin Disk.
My transducer is underneath the port engine. I can measure the angle there (inner, no frames there so should match outer) if you would like....
Not questioning, just asking. The white came off with a simple pre-wetted wipe. About the same on the wall and floor in that space. Doubt it...
I think the white is light mildew since the space is accessed from a normally closed off cabinet? The paint is in the back of all cabinets,...
From what do you get that? The brown paint is the same as is on the inside of all of the fiberglass in the boat.
A couple pictures showing the underside of the foredeck. This location is just outboard of the aft port hatch. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I found a post on the re-core of 46 Post deck, thanks. Interesting that in the photos I don't see the stepped core thickness that I can clearly...
The only soft spot is the 6" circular one. I can hear it click/oil can if I step on it. One spot on the stbd side I noticed before survey...
The survey when we bought our boat showed 2 suspect areas for possible core issues: strip along the stbd side of the house, and an area behind the...
Didn't find anything on ours (bought 2021) other than "possible spot" where prior windlass was removed. When they cut through to install th new...
They are not reusable style (not field installable with the second hex after the swivel nut), and not in condition I would reuse them.
Old hoses were Aeroquip 2651. Surprizingly still flexible and no surface cracking. Dated 11-84 (boat was built in 89).
I did. CG J1527 A1-15 hose with brass barb swivel fittings with 304 stainless crimp clamps.
All the engine lines are done. Will do the GenSet lines in a couple weeks. I was glad to find out the CAT C7.1 'self priming' feature works...
For anyone in the future: I was able to reach all the hangers except the forward most 2 by stretching against and over the water tank. The...
Has anyone replaced the original fuel lines in their 43? How did you access the hose hangers between the center aft fuel tank and the stbd water...
