The manufacturer of my boat recommends pouring hydrogen peroxide down the shower and sink drains from time to time. Flush after a one hour soak....
I think an experienced couple could “safely” run a boat up to maybe 70 or 75 ft. The challenges though are really broken into three categories,...
As I remember these engines should see around 3000+ RPMs at WOT, you dont say which 370 cummins model. At 2500 RPMs you are way off. The boat...
