Congrats on the 45 Viking, those pics bring back good memories. We had a 89' 45 with dd 671's. It went to New Jersey when sold in 2004 and later...
That would be good!
Cat has damaged their reputation with aftercoolers issues for years, built with the wrong material. Flushing the aftercoolers hardly would...
You could clean them on a buffing wheel and keep coated with 303 vinyl/plastic protectant. Might bring the color back.
Looking great! Need some new knobs on those throttle/gears. :)
Never seen a sportfish with stabilizer fins. Must have been used for cruising.
Yep, happens far to often. They forget to pull the ad. ;);)
Probably would not affect the value much. Like the visibility from a fly bridge seeing as we have mostly owned SF's.
The chlorine in tap water dissipates within days. I don't think there is enough concentration to affect the metals. Seems someone posted a pic of...
I've never owned a boat with zincs in the ac system, definitely a good idea.
Flushing often with freshwater should help them live longer, plus keeping the drains clean. Manual also says to pull, clean and inspect...
Check the shifter connection on the gear. Had one come loose and fall off locked in fwd years ago.
The 50 Hatt er would be difficult for your size to access with 3412's, not an issue if you hire out the maintenance. The port side s/r on the Hatt...
Skip the 50c Hatt with 3412's unless you check out the er thoroughly. It will not be fun if you do your own maintenance. Had one, great for...
Requires separate DC grounds back to a DC bus. No DC grounding to the engine. Bonding wire from engine and any isolated raw water components such...
Had a Man mechanic tell me Man engines have an isolated ground and bonded to the transom zinc, no aluminum coolers. Seems Cat could easily...
Odd that it would prevent other types of growth and not barnacles. Chlorine output might be low? No doubt the bromine tablets work, I switched to...
Absentee owners and locals that do not tend their boats properly cause a lot of the losses in hurricane areas. Surprising the insurers pay their...
I had a cd100 water pump that was rusting badly on my last boat with twin 4 ton Aqua Air chillers. Replaced with the Scott bronze pump with zero...
