If you're certain all of the running gear is good, then I'd start looking at the engines and possibly not making as much power. When it's...
Here's some big Sportfish running in the inlet at the White Marlin Open. I particularly like the 75' Jim Smith [MEDIA]
They don't get on plane. I ran a 66' offshore with 1000 hp C-18's and it was the same way. It did do 14.5 knots but HAD to have over 10' of...
I have a 1100 hp MAN common rail boat that when the batteries are going bad or getting weak, it will light all kinds of erroneous engine alarms...
Here in Fort Lauderdale, bars without food, have been closed since April. So I guess they can re-open. Most manufacturers I've heard from are...
I'd leave the bow area alone as I simply don't think it will look good.
It sounds like you have some computer issues going on and you need to get a MAN mechanic to come out and hook up the laptop and verify what is...
They have to have expansion tanks.....the ones ON the engine......big metal tanks that hold coolant with a pressure cap
Well Yes and no. There is a coolant pressure at expansion tank sensor. There is also a coolant pressure at water pump sensor. I'm not sure of...
What are WOT rpm numbers? EGT is high, most mechanics recommend 850 (or less) at cruise on Detroit diesel 2 strokes.
UMMMM and a marine plumber on standby for all of the toilet clogs and holding tank overflows!
You won't necessarily see black smoke. EGT's should be 850F or under at 1950, generally under. Boost pressure totally depends on who...
See post #69 from Capt. Ralph as well. 410 use a different oil and cannot get all of the oil out. 410 operates at a much higher pressure than...
You need a new A/C tech......you need to change them when going to 410.
That's the way to do it.......make sure to replace the copper line set too. But once and done.....the 410 is far more efficient than 22.
Detroits need to see rated WOT rpm's at WOT in order for longevity. They do not survive being severely over-propped......if a D.D. is rated to...
THIS IS FROM POST #101 FROM PETER SERVER HIMSELF!!!!! It reads to me that he contracted to build an 82' from Sparkman and Stevens and was built...
What I meant is if you buy a yacht from a brand that is built by that builder. They own the entire product from start to finish. For example:...
This, when I deliver a new (to me) boat, I first pull them up and inspect before even leaving the dock, then I check at the end of each day for...
Plus when you deduct what it would cost to normally clean the coolers in that time period, it's really not that more expensive. I haven't found...
