Yeah, I'm guessing fishing expedition. I've seen adds for new Silvertons and new Egg Harbors too. But I don't think I've ever seen one was...
I was following this until my power went out in a storm last night. Glad Le Cam found him. He'd lost sight of him last I'd heard. I am pretty...
I have Volvo Tamd74's which are the prior gen. I have no experience with the MTUs although understand the have a solid rep. My Volvos have been...
Are you talking about an LRC or a MY? I don't think Hatteras ever made a 70' LRC. I know there's one listed on YW but I believe that was a 65'...
I have them on my 43'. I never really knew the purpose but it does keep people from stepping on my trim tab as they're climbing out of the water.
Touché. Should have said Piece of my wallet....
Agreed... "Piece of mind" is how the marine industry get's you to spend more money than you reasonably need to. -50 Antifreeze begins to slush at...
Pretty sure the Freeman was customized by Merritt.
Saw him roll out of Block Island early this summer in that sailboat. Unusual looking for sure. He was on island doing some surfing.
Yes, I do that too although don't really consider it "winterization". Just annual service that it makes sense to do right before lay-up. I will...
For seasonal lay-ups, ie.. November to April, we don't do anything to diesels except fill the raw water side with anti-freeze.
SH owns 80% of the marinas on Narragansett Bay including some real powerhouses like Newport Shipyard and New England Boat Works. Now I'm waiting...
No expert but mine sit winterized (antifreeze in place of saltwater) and idle on the hard for 6mos as most do here in winter. Can't image it's...
Quick look confirms that turbo is indeed liquid cooled. Not sure if that's a likely culprit but will investigate possibility with tech.
Interesting, thanks. No thermal blanket so I get could be liquid cooled? Will add it to my list.
Thanks Capt Ralph. Not soot. Oil. Black used oil. I don't believe turbos are water cooled but honestly I'm not sure. Oil may well go to the...
When it rains it pours... Many of you have chimed in on my thread where I think I dodged a bullet on a transmission issue. Then another thread...
Agree with this. The smart switch is fancy but I just used my existing momentary switch and have never seen a need for anything else. And it...
I may be using the wrong terminology. I replaced the entire engine room unit. I call it the compressor but that's probably the entire condensing...
The cost differential between a split system and a self contained unit at the same BTU's is staggering. I know it's nice to get the compressors...
