Yes, I knew someone that ran a 64' Aicon. The boat was very poorly built. Many issues with the build quality and electrical.
Precisely. Do yourself a favor and find a much better brand.
I don't think there is any broker IN the D.R. I would trust. I have picked up a few yachts that were bought by a yacht company here in Florida...
I can't answer that, but in all my years and thousands and thousands of yachts that I've stepped foot on, I've never once seen a S/S sea strainer...
Know your Underwater Alloys | Steve D'Antonio Marine Consulting (stevedmarineconsulting.com) Here's another great article on it: "Stainless...
Don't do it. Can't mix bronze and stainless together.
I'm seeing around 8 years on the package units. One is going on 13 years (out of 6 units on 1 boat). The package units are so easy to change out...
I actually DESPISE the filters on MAN's and the location. It's an antiquated system from the 1930's of having upside down cartridge filters....
So the MAN's take EGT's before the turbo. I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for the correction and photo's.
In your situation, I would just run 1 chiller and leave the other off. You're better off having 1 run longer times on before cycling off, then...
In that Case, I'd also be looking at 58' Hatteras MY's and larger as well. IMO, a lot better platform for you. Not having to worry about rotted...
You don't want just 1 chiller, you really should have 2. If you have an issue with a chiller, the entire boat doesn't have A/C, chillers take a...
I think you mean MMDS are taken after the turbo but before the aftercooler.
They're semi-displacement. I wouldn't consider them a long range ocean crossing vessel as one would a Northern Marine, Nordhavn or similar.
I haven't seen the hoses insulated. The insulation is usually added to the outside and to be correct in Florida like ambient temperatures and for...
They're easy on fuel compared to C32's of that era. However, the 86' Johnson I would think would be hard on motors. It runs very bow high at...
Thanks, was curious. The man v10-1100 CR's also run at 1250F at 80% load, both boats will hit 2350-2360 rpms WOT with full fuel/water.
What EGT's are your C18's running at 80% load? The 1200HP V8 MAN's run EGT's right around 1250F at 80% load in 83F water.
Just mount the pyro gauge sideways on the starboard support bracket for the garmin.
Well, you always need to have a clean bottom. A dirty bottom will overload ANY engine no matter how lightly it's propped.
