I wouldn't be too very surprised to learn that all the current round of boats with the word "Fly" in their name (mostly European, but not all)...
I don't hear a standard around here. Seems to depend on whatever Bubba's GPS is set for. Which may in turn mean it depends on whichever option...
Flush the freshwater tank and all the lines with a chlorine solution first, rinse with a vinegar solution. Search online for the recipes...
Distressing... Perhaps useful to discuss future mitigation? Did that boat not have a transmitting AIS? Would the hijackers have had to...
Our onboard fridge/freezers are from NovaKool. Slide-in, simple electric installation, no additional cooling required. DC compressors, so the AC...
I've heard of boat simply being hauled, transported by land around that bridge, and then splashed on the other side. Don't know what size...
Depend on definition of "motor yacht." Often, that's used to describe an aft-cabin layout, usually with no cockpit, usually with a forward...
Your budget is way (way!) out of my league, but... in light of your experience to date and commitment to learning as you go forward... I think...
Our current galley has a two-burner glass cooktop. Not induction. Works well, but I'd prefer induction when/if replacement becomes necessary......
Ah. I actually meant marine electronics installation specialists; must be some in your area. Not retails stores. Most (or at least many)...
The first easiest step might be to call your local Garmin (or other brand, if you like) installer guru, and ask him what units (if any) are...
FWIW, there are apparently two different Fisher companies. I gather one manufactures covers from canvas, and the other offers covers of...
Check your starters to see what minimum cranking amps are required. Might be stated as CCA, MCA, whatever... but then be sure what you shop for...
Perhaps a variable valve timing thing, where the main 8-cylinder (for example) propulsion diesel only runs on 6, 4, or 2 cylinders when load...
Sub-divide the overall idea into sub-systems: - engines (including seacocks and strainers) - genset (ditto) - air conditioners (ditto) - fresh...
Outside stern of the boat (transom), right side (starboard), probably within about 5 inches below the rub rail. Not a "plaque" but rather a...
I don't see any pricing info on their site... any clues to cost? Or have I just overlooked it? -Chris
Yes, in general, they are... same brands, same models... and in fact it's often easier/faster to find parts or replacements for marine units... at...
Our NovaKool fridges are both AC and DC. They use DC compressors, and the AC mode is essentially only a power supply that converts available AC...
