I am happy to say that after a full day Friday (Good Friday) I was able to get the new PSS Pro Shaft Seals installed on both port and starboard...
Yeah he will be taking them home for his own amusement for sure. I enjoy getting to know the boat but doing jobs like this twice and all the...
Yes and was very careful on install. It is what it is. Purchased the PSS Pro Shaft Seal already and will be picking up in am at PYI HQ. They look...
Hauled out to do new lips seals on my Cabo that has Bluewater shaft seals this past Sunday afternoon. Everything went great up until about 3pm...
There should be a battery switch near the thruster motor. I can't imagine there not being a switch. Sidepower recommends power being disconnected...
Smallest they make is 2 3/4 shaft. I have a 2 1/2 inch shaft. Scheduled haul out for an overnight hang at my marina on the 29th. Will see then...
As I look more at how much a PIA uncoupling the shaft will be and also that I am getting zero drips at rest it might be worth an overnight hang in...

After finishing up a number of winter maintenance items on the boat I was looking forward to using the boat as spring approaches and being done...

Ha. A 42 Mag Bay FB with twin 800hp MAN's should perform just fine with room on center line of ER forward to mount a Seakeeper 6. I go much...
Good to hear. The MAN dealer I use said they remove the plastic decorative cover and leave it off. If I were to buy new today that would be my top...
Those new i6 800's look to be a great engine. Updated cooling system from the r6. Interested in hearing your thoughts over time on this model.
Thanks guys for the opinions. I was working alongside my MAN mechanic yesterday finishing up cooling system maintenance and his comments were in...
Curious how often most change their main engine impellers. I have always done them annually. I typically see 125hrs a year on my main engines for...
Very nice. Your engines look to be in great shape. I was working with my MAN shop yesterday on my cooling system work we are starting Wed. I asked...
In the Sportfish market I follow you could go to 2012 and see almost same technology as 2015. Not a lot of marine innovation between 2012 and 2015...
Interesting thread and a number of different topics and conversations within the thread. I will add my 2 cents. In the Pacific Northwest when I am...
