Breaker on? Power light on the pump on? Fault/error light flashing? Have you turned the breaker off and on? Most problem with these pumps are...
RPM affects frequency not voltage. Voltage is usually regulated by the voltage regulator which should be adjustable. Don’t mess with RPM as your...
The VF should be pretty straightforward and you should have a breaker on the DC panel. Maybe Viking got lazy and used a single breaker for all the...
A gauge is a false sense of security. I prefer having a visual way of confirming fuel, either sight gauges for elevated tanks or a calibrated...
None of the cat powered boats i ve run had fuel gauge data in the Cat display and I don’t even understand why you would want that anyway. An...
In theory a seller can’t back out of contract without compensation. Had he done that after survey he would have been liable for the costs of the...
With an LRC they definitely needs something bigger than 10’. Smaller dinghies don’t have much storage for PFDs, anchor and rode etc.
I don’t think the issues are related. The crack on the FB is either a manufacturing defect (too thin, poor lay up etc) or someone overloaded that...
10’ is small, assuming we re talking classic 58, there is room for a 12 footer. Easily. we have a 15’ walker bay on the boat i run. 6 years old...

First of all are you sure the bottom especially the running gear is clean? It takes very little growth of the props to loose a couple of hundred...
Can you post a picture of the screen ?
The east river and NY harbor is easy and pretty interesting. Hells gate is no problem with a planning boat it’s been a while since i ve run the...
Problem with transom mounted xducers on dinghies is that sometimes if you pull it too far over the chock, the rear chock can break the bracket.
Yeah I much prefer having control stations on the aft deck. Picking up a mooring single handed is probably the time these gadgets are useful.
2 seconds?? That’s ridiculous. What kind of gears do you have? Something has to be wrong. I ve never seen such a delay even with boats able to...
When docking or close quarter maneuvering you want immediate response but with bigger boats and engines you re always bumping in and out of gear...
Either core or some voids in the laminate
Big engines… and I believe naturals have higher compression ratios. I would use starting batteries
My boat was 32v till I repowered and converted to 24. I used 8v golf cart batteries and used to get about 4 to 5 years life which is pretty good...
