+1, great job indeed! Also adds a Caterpillar touch to those engines... :) I'd just be curious to see a "before" pic. I mean, those are CRM...
I'm glad that you found my contribution entertaining. At least that's some result, as opposed to reiterating something everybody already agreed...
Of course I agree that there are more hands on the bridge of a cruise ship, and that the Captain of this vessel also had other fishes to fry, but...
So what? It's irrelevant whether the horn was sounded earlier or not. Just look at the video below from 0:40 onward, and hear up to when they kept...
Wrong estimate again, I'm afraid. Why do you bother relying on your personal knowledge, no matter how intimate, when nowadays computers can do the...
Fair enough.
Apparently, they were neither coming from Marine Max nor Derecktor (or are you meaning anything else by "Directors"?). According to the Triton...
Actually I read the 97' in your previous post as one example in the context of a more generic consideration: "I generally don't believe in...
Harping on? Why should I, when I never heard of that boat and his Captain before? I'm just saying it as I see it - call me naive, but I would...
Mmm... The (very experienced, allegedly) Captain declared in that Triton article that the azipods began malfunctioning well before what can be...
Agreed - it's no coincidence that in my boat I deliberately preferred to have the latest mechanical engines with cable levers, rather than some...
I could understand the C32, but sticking 35xx engines in a fast powerboat is totally unheard of. There's much more than power alone to consider,...
Amazing that the helmsman doesn't seem to have used the horn. A catastrophic electrical fault, possibly?
If you are referring to my "almost 300lb each side" comment, that's actually 134Kg each side, according to the respective manufacturers' specs....
Absolutely. And that's true not only for Arnies, but also for any transmission equipment, like g/boxes or v-drives. Btw, I struggle to understand...
That would be good news, because the whole engine monitoring system was actually designed and built by Böning. In fact, the only difference...
Of course there are 50'+ boats that are better/worse than others, but that's not what you said. You said that one 55 footer among them (I don't...
Thanks to you for appreciating. Long time no seen by the way, how's things? I hope all is well. In the meantime, eventually we came back to what...
You must know nothing of Italian boatbuilding history in the last decade, if you have to ask that...
Of course my previous post was incomplete, that's why I also uploaded (in post#25) the specific schedule for the 183 TE93, as published by MTU,...
