Yacht controller is the only one I'd trust.....given how long they've been in the industry. Like anything electronic, I've seen them fail also.
Run them every 2 weeks. I normally run them until they get to 140F, then run them up for 3 minutes or so at 1800 rpms to spin the turbo's and get...
This is just a completely freak accident. It's an open ski boat with low gunnels. The breeze must've been almost exactly the same speed and...
Sadly, that boat is the exception and not the norm for Taiwanese boats. One of the few Taiwanese MY's that performs well. Look at the 85'...
They worked hard to earn the nickname "Taiwanese Tub" and it's typical performance (or lack thereof) for them. How about the 66' MY that does...
I wonder how nice this "lodge" they're staying in. Wonder if it's Sea Island resort? hehehehe
Alarm monitoring boards are located in the large MAN black box in the engine room. On yours, the actual displays "may" be the...
This is exactly what I saw in November. Tons of Chinese coming down to the Staniel Cay area (from cruise ships) on the center consoles with 50...
It's not "OUR" pandemic. It's a worldwide pandemic and many Chinese were visiting the Bahamas December-April and bringing it over there prior to...
I see that post where he mentions, it makes 2300rpm..... 2200 rpms + is a broad number. But if you're turning the props the same exact rpm's, the...
"A friend has owned this boat for approx 3-4 yrs. The boat has C18 Cats 700hp ea and about two months ago it would not get up on plane. Its a...
The boat all of a sudden has an issue, when it used to do 14 knots 2 months ago. This points to something being wrong with either the engines,...
715hp C12's are 2300 rpm motors, you don't cruise them there. I don't think they make nearly 2300 rpms. In a heavy boat with borderline power,...
They should be 2300 rpms WOT. So how are they making enough power if they only hit 2200 rpms?
Nowadays a lot more than in the past. About half of the yachts I manage require an insurance survey every 3 years. But most of the owners of the...
First, if Fire is your concern, I'd make sure your automatic fire system is inspected and automatic shutdowns tested annually as required by...
There isn't a door there for storage and to slide the unit in and out? Every sportfish I've been on has one, including the Oceans I've managed...
I know exactly what I am talking about and know plenty about hook and rocker. A lot of smaller boat builders built boats with a hook in the hull,...
You should EASILY be able to see that by opening the engine room hatch and looking. If you are having the fuel polished, have everything put in...
I have PLENTY of experience with it, but there is LOTS of very ill handling quarks that could be introduced by doing it (adding hook or rocker),...
