June is a great time as it's less windy and rough and also really before we see Hurricane scares (generally). I was just at Chub, marina nice,...
How much water pressure do you have in the chilled water system?
What HP and brand of detroits do you have? You need that in order to get a proper fuel curve.
I don't bother with a IR gauge, you'll see any trouble on your normal gauges. Every hour or two, open the hatch and take a look inside.
AB can build a good boat. I hear Riva builds a pretty good boat. Problem with Italian builders, is they're more like general contractors than...
Cracks look cosmetic but you can see the Gelcoat is too thick. So they’re the first cracks with more to come. It might be why the hull was painted.
do you think cracked fuel tanks in a mid 60’ vessel that’s only a few years old normal? Or how about water leaks from the salon ceiling in 3...
I was the Captain for Cabo that did the week of seatrials with the 2nd set of Man 900 common rails in the United States at the time for MAN. I...
Try accessing the bottom end in that boat. The length of the crankshaft is also an issue. While you're there, the blocks should be seperated and...
Leave it alone. Man's run best when slightly underpropped. Man requires a minimum of 2300 rpms but prefers 2350. You won't see anymore speed by...
It's a Benetti. That is ALL you need to know, RUN for the hills unless you're an ABCY certified marine electrician and 5'5 and 150 lbs. Not to...
Probably not. I get mine from Bluewater chairs in Fort Lauderdale. They have several teak ones, but also have a very nice fiberglass one with a...
Be very careful with the shorepower going down and inverter coming on by itself, if the yacht is un-attended. Also make sure you have a charger...
Most of the custom SF are cold molded because they're lighter, strong, and faster than their fiberglass brothers...........Vicems cold molded is...
I don't know if you'll get a 24 hour turnaround with the shipping. See if the CAT dealer has a local CAT dealer that does their S.O.S. samples,...
I ran a 75' Hatteras with 12v71TI covingtons and I think they were 760 HP although cannot remember. We burned 12 gphs for the pair at 1000 rpms,...
Is your bottom and running gear clean? Is the boat at the same weight as it's always been?
Don't know about Belize. I've run several Fairlines over the years. They're just ok. A lot of steps everywhere inside of the boat. Quality is...
Also insurance won't cover it. I used to tow a 25' center console behind a 52' Searay sedan bridge. It towed it OK, but surely stressed the...
It could be air filter and easy to remove it and try it (remote but a possibility). It points to a bad turbo as far as I know. Could be fuel as...
