It depends. Used to be all mechanical up to the TE92 version (i.e. the 666hp rated V8). But if by chance the OP has the TE93 (i.e. the 767hp),...
Actually I believe that most parts could be removed without hauling the boat, including all the hydraulic components of the actuators. Also the...
Yeah, and thanks God for that! A boating mate of mine bought her boat brand new, with IPS, joystick, and all the bells and whistles. After some...
May I ask you which MAN model of engines, where in Italy are you doing the job, and possibly also a ballpark cost for the engine overhaul alone?...
Not an outrageous difference, and in this sense I can see why someone told you it's acceptable. But if she were my boat, I'd definitely ask a good...
By sheer coincidence, that's the very same equipment which I used for 17 years on my previous 53' trawler. Excellent stuff. I never had one single...
Positively +1. Unless the chap who said that also specified another way to check high idle (which I very much doubt that exists), just suggesting...
The arch is definitely more appropriate for that boat, also from a functional viewpoint. Having said that, I agree with CJ that a hardtop would be...
Indeed it does look close. In my previous post I said I'm not sure about it just because it's difficult to judge from pics alone. But if this was...
Agreed. Rather than covering the fins actuators with some cabinetry, it's MUCH better to leave them fully open for easier visual inspection. On...
As I was told back when the boat was built, the owner specifically asked a perfect match with Ferrari red. I'm not sure about how close the final...
What makes you think that bclb didn't? It's no secret that heavy displacement trawlers are more seaworthy than semi-displacement boats, but if the...
New or used? If going for a new boat, OR is a great choice, but only as long as you are expert enough (and willing to invest a LOT of time) to...
Well, apologies if I was trying to help... :confused: But on which basis are you saying that the dock is single phase? Most marinas use 3 phase...
You might find a ready made Y splitter with a 100A male plug to be connected to the dock socket on one end, and 2x50A female plugs on the other....
Ok, but what we were strictly talking of dock FW supply...
Well, I'm neither saying that the risk of a leak is zero, nor I'm interested to convince anyone to change their habits. I'm just saying that a...
Myself and my wife also overnight on the boat regularly, sometimes also with guests. But I never closed/opened the shore supply before going to...
Correct, THAT is the reason why shore side connection is nowadays more rare: purely CYA-related. It only takes a pinch of salt and a few basic...
If a continuous water usage of 50 liters isn't enough for your needs, I have good news for you: it's sufficient to fit as many of the above...
