Wife and my son arrive Wednesday. We head out Thursday for 4-5 day trip
I arrived in Ketchikan Wednesday evening. Got on the boat about 8 pm. 48+ hrs later and I still can’t get the smile off my face. Everything looks...
Seems odd to cut corners on such a vital piece of equipment but to each his own. Keep in mind, the engine may say Kubota but it is not the same...
What gen did you end up going with? Installed yet?
The punch list is getting much shorter with progress every day. All the new LED lights working great. Galley refrigeration up and running since...
I just installed two NL gens; a 9kw and 20kw, both with their Gem series enclosures and doubling the isolation mounts. This went in place of an...
Yes, they have hand fuel priming pumps. We also have electric priming pumps but they are not integral to the CATs.
That is certainly great to hear!
I learned my lesson with hose clamps so have plenty of those. I have some rescue tape but probably should get some flex tape too. Good suggestion....
Just finished installing a pair of new C-18 ACERT 1150hp in my Sportfish. What spares should I carry aboard? I asked CAT several times and they...
Or better yet, surprised someone hasn't mentioned how this thread is about saving a few bucks on finding a rental car while you go on a 3 week...
I have shipped several cars. Most of what you find online are 3rd party brokers. A lot depends on what kind of car you are shipping. If it's a...

Just having truck batteries vs marine is not why your windlass caused a problem. You have something else going on. Was your generator also running...
I want to be able to pull up camera view when I’m not on the boat via my phone, iPad or computer. SIMRAD doesn’t offer web connectivity. Doesn’t...
Yes, CAT is. of course. looking out for CAT. So the flip side of this is if they weren't 100% happy it is easy for them to demand changes. It's no...
Good to hear you are not running the windlass without the engine running. But if the engines were running why didn't the alternator charge as you...
I think it is too early to tell if I will adjust the props. I want to get all the weight back on and get some hours behind us and log some data. I...
WOT was 30 kns. I think I saw 31 once, with the tide, wind and going down hill :) I never had enough confidence in the Detriot's to cruise at 80%...
Finished the second and final day of trials yesterday with CAT. All still running really well. CAT had zero recommendations and said don't change...
