Not really, of ALL of the MAN owners I know, 90% do the 1000 hour service every 1000 hours regardless of years and rarely if ever have an issue as...
Just use a home depot pancake air compressor. You can set the regulator on one down to 10-12 psi and they'll run like that without blowing up....
I'd say 8 out of 10 yachts that age have some sort of neglected maintenance if not lots. You look at the oil samples, if good, figure out what it...
What do you plan on doing with the yacht? Cruising areas? Speed? Schedule? How many guests?
I did notice both Marine Max (hzo) and Brunswicks stock price (BC) have both dropped about 25% in the past week or so.
Soda blast the gelcoat off. Then lightly fair, prime and paint. I sure as heck would not strip a layer of fiberglass off and re-fiberglass....
If it had to be hauled, I would think Bradford in Freeport would be able to haul it, IF the Bahamian authorities wanted to keep it in the Bahamas.
You can have a scoop as long as it has holes in the rear of it. Be careful, as when they get clogged and louder, you'll end up eating raw water...
Is there power coming out of the breaker? Power to the GFCI? Look through the boat and test for power and look for other GFCI's. An electrical...
So the boat wasn't even hauled for the survey and seatrial?????? Who did you use for engine and hull surveys? IF so, what did they tell you???
Check for a GFCI somewhere, usually those outlets are daisy chained from another outlet.
A little, but not what you're looking for (without seeing it).......maybe 20 rpms...... Now if there is 2 decades of bottom paint stacked up on...
The fuel is just a guestimate from the CAT computer. Props are off by 3" of pitch, possibly 4". Should turn 2320-2350 with full fuel/water/etc....
They do get experience in on a ship in a Maritime College, however, a small percentage of that actually crosses over to yachts. There are so many...
Your first order of business would be to learn how a yacht and it's systems operate, how owners use them. So probably a job as a junier engineer....
EXACTLY my point. It had two straight electric inboards and massive bow thruster and joy stick. 2 BMW i3 lithium battery banks, 2 50 amp...
He did, out of MI about 1.5 years ago and he has been enjoying it ever since. I ran it from MI to VA for him last may 1.5 years ago. Great...
The nav lights are clearly on in the picture of the tanker submerged to the deck. The tanker should get none of the blame as it was being...
You're speaking to someone who was the first Captain in Florida to run the Hinckley dasher. So I am all to familiar with full electric boats and...
The boat is not ALL electric if you have a massive diesel generator to power it. Do you know how much fuel a 100 KW generator burns in this pipe...
