The newer gens with computer controlling can handle the lighter loads with no issues. Every yacht I've run that had a smaller gen, it NEVER got...
1. Up to around 2012 on OA. I thought the layout was very good, woodwork and interior well built. Outside had a lot of cheesy latches and things...
With a seakeeper you don't have any additional protrusions in the hull. No fins sticking down to get wacked, or fishing lines caught around or...
Holy Cow does that thing rock and roll in a very very moderate sea without stabilization. What a mess.
That's not true. I once ran a 62' Predator to Bimini for the day. We docked bow in and 90% of the boat was in the slip. The tide came up to...
Fix injectors first. Boat levelers can usually be changed in the water by a diver since they have external hoses.
I agree with Pascal here. On all of the European boats that I run, English included, boarding is never a thought in the design for the American...
You are WAY over-propped. You need to see 350 more rpms at WOT. Is the bottom clean? If yes, it sounds like you either have a serious HP issue,...
Heat breaks down locktite ( from a torch), but be VERY careful as not to create a fire.
I notice that they help with stability and lift also......
Yes many times with the sidepower curved fins on a 66' Manhattan....they were mounted in the engine room forward. Never heard them inside the...
I agree, they were a good boat for what they were built for. SHallow water, Bahamas, moderate seas (or very), fuel efficient, shallow draft,...
If it's an older generator, I would just put a new generator.....Either ONAN or Northern Lights and be done with it, before I go through all that.
Like a spray rail, but they're alongside the hull on the edge where the hull meets the hull side. Kind of concaves downward a bit. Some...
Engine dealer to thoroughly check the engines for any damage.
I ran one 45' with them, had 6v71's and ran well. I do not know if the lift rails were the reason why......
You may also want to consider a 64' Pacific mariner in your search also......
It was during the POD craze when every builder was building a pod boat, it was all the rage at that time. BUT, at that time, all you could get...
I don't like the OA's of that era due to their seakeeping traits and lack of perfomance for their power. The 3412's are 12 cylinder CAT's and...
The only other manufacturer that comes to mind with that issue is Azimut, it started happening around the late 90's. Azimut quickly switched to...
