Yes, water ingress is one reason. But the real reason is it makes the house much stronger for the flybridge and with the windows it would shift...
In a lot of cases, the registered owner of these boats, isn't even the LAST owner. You have a sailboat that's old and etc., you sell it to...
Check out the Tiara in the 50' range, they also have IPS drives and are a higher quality yacht than all 3 and some also had seakeepers.
Honestly, the absolute best thing you can do is charter a few yachts for a week each to simply get a feel for the yachting life. I'd do a charter...
There is no reason engines NEED to be made to IMO Tier III standards. It's EPA bullshit, just like the ethanol nonsense is. Which has been...
I've run both the 51' Searay and a 50' Prestige all over hell and back. The Prestige is not a horrible sea boat, but it aint great either. The...
There is no such thing as a diagrahm for your plumbing on a Symbol. You can still buy the grey stuff at places like Home Depot and all the...
Pacblue- yes, just like the luxury tax did to the yachting industry. Or ethanol did to millions of boat/yacht owners in the first 5 years when it...
No fuel docks are going to be stocking DEF fluid for a very long time. The demand just isn't there. SO for a SF going to the far Bahamas to fish...
What year boat? I think you hooked it to the freshwater spicket in the cockpit and opened the valve if I remember correctly, but depends on year.
OK, so you and pacblue, HOW DO YOU PLAN ON REFILLING THE DEF TANK????????? Have either you or Pacblue thought of that on a sub 150' yacht that...
What setup do you have now? T the fuel supply line with a shut off on the inlet and outlet of each racor would be the easiest. Or, exchange what...
Many of the larger yachts and yachts in your size range will run 1000 rpms for extended periods of time for 6+ hours and then run at cruise for 30...
Do you not realize all of the big Euro builders in this size have the exact same issues? Kind of hard to scrap a design you dumped $18 million...
Tell that to Viking Yachts who is laying off 300 employees because of it. Another U.S. builder I know of is exiting the 90' + arena also as will...
Sounds like an issue with the connection of your nuetrals, possibly. Check electrical output connections on generator and at the panel.
Builders were hoping that enough advancements would be made by the engine manufacturers that would've resolved the issue. Viking states $500,000...
More or less. Pitch is measured in inches in USA. In a perfect world with no propeller slip, a propeller with 32" of pitch would move the vessel...
Find the tank and follow the hoses. Your boat is only 34' so shouldn't be too difficult or far from the tank. A lot of boats don't have a...
The converters look to be about 1/2 the size of the engine, the other issue is much like a Catalytic converter on a car, they get very hot....
