You might be unable to spot a defective run capacitor with just a multimeter. Easier to just replace it and see what happens - it's not a big...
R U sure it isn't a 230V 50Hz motor? I can't read all the yellow label on the box, but it does show 230VAC at its top. Anyway, the symptoms you...
I am a big fan of the principle that all boats are headaches, and while most folks aim at the larger headache they can afford, it's much wiser to...
Doh! Don't ask me why, but when I wrote my previous comment I calculated by heart a displacement of around 9L for the V12 DD 71 - hence my comment...
20 kts at 1900 rpm with less than 80% load doesn't sound too bad, actually. I guess that aiming at a much faster speed with that hull would be...
No idea about if and how much oversized the original shafts were (or not) vs. the original power. But the exhaust size depends more on...
Pardon my bluntness, but it's also a matter of attitude, on top of age. At 32, you should feel like you'll live forever... ...but if you fear to...
I can't see well enough the steps in your photo in post #33 to understand how they work and how solid they are, so I won't comment further - aside...
Oi, I was simply commenting your own photo: in that particular situation, the passerelle (which btw in many boats, 'Hattan 55 included, is NOT in...
I believe that's actually a 55, not a 60. Regardless, I'd rather blame the penny pincher owner for not ticking the passerelle box. If anything,...
Well, that is very nice to have, I wish I could say the same of my boat!
Even more scary if it's the only way OUT!
That's not exactly shocking, if you consider that the OP is by now 17 years old...! Besides, the original link pointed to Power and Motoryacht...
Interesting. Do you know what props are they using? Rolla, possibly?
The other boat is also worryingly listing to port. Or is she sitting on the bottom? It looks like there wasn't a lot of water under the Bertram...
I was thinking the same, while looking at the photos. Yet, if the inconvenience would be due to the platform lower than the dock, it should be...
Wow. Weren't the 3408 phased out in the 80s...!? Ref. what I'm running, by coincidence it's a similar sized flybridge boat (56'), and with exactly...
From what you are saying, it sounds like the boat itself ain't a monster of efficiency, and what you get is what she can deliver. I mean, unless...
Mmm... It must have been a while since your last trip to EU, I suppose? I can think of some Med marinas whose facilities and infrastructures I've...
Fair enough, but that still relies on the outer tube to remain 100% liquid tight over time. Mine started leaking when the boat was already 13...
