I suggest you start with a book called "The nature of boats" by David Gerr. It will help you do the preliminary work on stability and line...
That really has nothing to do with marinewrong software. That web page will display any program name you feed it. For example try this page....
I need to replace my washdown pump. Currently its a 3/4 26 gpm pump. I'd also like to use it as an auxiliary bilge pump. I'm looking at a...
I like to add indicator LED's that can be seen from the dock for the status of all critical items. Green LED means the item has power. Red LED...
Don't some yachts in this size range come with water tight bulkheads so that a leak in a single compartment won't sink the entire boat? I thought...
Am I reading this correctly? Sounds very inadequate for any boat much less a yacht. My boat has a 2000 GPH primary and a 4000 GPH high water...
No for that I use the PA system. Actually it was more the tone of my voice than the volume she objected to. "Command Voice" is never popular...
I'm in the same situation with my wife for a deck hand. We had one "disagreement" while docking a few years back. These kind of "disagreements"...
I vote don't split it. The more you split it the more likely you'll have a problem that doesn't fit into one of the categories. Or at least...
You can buy the self adhesive plastic sheet at Home Depot or Lowes. Its used as a carpet protection film when working. Look in the paint...
Do you know who did the marinization on your engines? Johnson & Towers, Covington. Stewart & Stevenson, etc. I have the Johnson & towers engines...

That is true. Unless one has proper fuel treatment prior to the engines. Proper fuel treatment would include a water in fuel sensor to warn you...
Has anybody run into fuel that truly could not be polished by an adequate on-board system? So bad that even after it was cleaned the engines...
Doesn't matter if they are new. An exhaust leak near the turbo can clog the filter in a matter of hours. Remember you are either getting too...
Also make sure those air-seps are clean. A tiny exhaust leak can clog the filters which will result in heavy black smoke and loss of power.
You can definitely "get into" a sportfish for $100,000. Maybe less. What is your budget for "Staying in"? That boat is probably $600,000 to...
You are forgetting the smart phone factor. Anytime anything happens it now goes straight to the internet. It seems like half the cruise ships...
Ditto. Also a small exhaust leak will clog the intake filters resulting in soot on the transom. This happened to my buddy this summer. You...
At this point I think the buyer needs to have an attorney send the builder a letter demanding a written explanation of the history of the vessel...
