Speaking of AP setup, how good is Simrad Virtual Rudder feedback vs a physical rudder position sensor ? my new AP has VRF has default and i m...
that was the reason given at the time, wasn’t it? Or was it an excuse ?
Italian electrics :)
Many boats in my marina have power cords in the water, some with heavy growth on them and marina management doesn’t care. and don’t get me...
[MEDIA] remember the one that sank on the New River in FTL a few years back because of an open transom door and the wake of a couple of tugs?...
Isn’t seaflow a chicom knockoff brand? I wonder how long they last …
Yes I dug these numbers from my old notes. while the numbers vary slightly with each boats the overall result remain the same: the worst speed...
For a boat like yours, hull speed is about 10.5 to 10.9 kts. One single knot over that is going to cause your fuel burn to jump 60-70%. 2 knots...
In all fairness when most of us read this “and I normally run slower than that running 12 - 14 kts or so” or 200gph WOT on 3412Es it does...
Apparently they got it in shallow water.
Anyone familiar with this boat? It s taking on water at the entrance to the west river in the Chesie. 120 San Lorenzo pictures from social...

We have 2000hp 2004 vintage M91s on the 116 I run. Oil pressure is about 110 at 1800 rpm fast cruise and about 80 psi under 1000 rpm
So far I see these following options… Noland rs11 converter or Actisense both of them appear to be compatible with existing sensors and can be...
Are you sure you just didn’t have the fuel valve set to Pick up and return to different tanks? Most priming pumps on older Hatts were not...
I put 4000 hours on the 3412Es of that 70 Johnson I mentioned in my earlier post. When it sold, they had over 5000 hours and oil samples were...
Running 12-14 kts is just about the worst possible speed as you are pushing a big wake and actually heavily loading the engines. At 14 kts I bet...
Other pictures show the boat low by the stern. Whatever it was must have left a big hole… exhaust failure, shaft or rudder.
