I believe they were too low, would dive and launch a wall of water on the 3rd wave of a set. I think they also exagerated the roll when crossing...
After much discussion we decided to remove the 'original owner added' spray rails. My best guess is they were put on based on experience from the...
I usually use a metal etch on metals prior to primer after sanding. Check OSPHO for ferris metals, including stainless (it's the one currently in...
I plumbed our dryer (located in the head cabinet above the toilet on a 43) to use the same hull exhaust as the head exhaust fan. A one-way valve...
One option: Undercut the opening by about 1/4-3/8". Make a carefull wood template and clamp in place, then ease up to the final cut using the...
The doors on my cockpit cabinets are actually clear acrylic painted on the outside to march the cabinets. Can see the screws inside the acrylic on...
There is a speed sensor at both the input and the output. They also have their own dedicated ECU's.
Thanks.
That's interesting that the deadrise ahead of the engines of your 43 is lower than our 43-II. I've heard the 43-II has a deeper forefoot, which...
Thanks. Have been away on the boat for several days. I thought of a hook but didn't look at mounting on the side. I'll have to see where that...
I removed the old cold plate unit and remote compressor. Current is an Isotherm bi-75 self contained unit. I had a new cover plate made to match...
Only fish will be leftover crabs from the resturant. I looked at a couple of the folding springs. Need to see if the cover interior...
It is a food and mostly drinkg refrigerator. I don't think there is space on the side for a gas spring. I haven't looked at the folding spring...
What do you use to hold the cockpit refrigerator cover open when accessing inside? Haven't thought of a solution. We have a vertical load...
We don't fish the boat so don't really troll but can run as slow as 2-3 kts. Idle in full engagement is 6.5 kts
The transmissions have two trolling modes. 1) throttle remains at idle, speed controlled only by amount of slip 2) speed controlled by slip up to...
I believe that is a speed sensor for the output shaft/coupling.
Never noticed it before. Or the broken bonding wire I need to fix (it wasn't broken in earlier photos). There is also an unused P80...
I was wrong. They are down angle transmissions. I hadn't looked at them that close enough. Was checking them today and got a good view. [ATTACH]
By coincidence (or design) the 43 II deadrise at the bulkhead between the engines and the GenSet/AC water pickups is also 12.5 degrees. Happened...
