Yeah, I’ll get all the detail data, get everything back on the boat and load her to the gills. I’ll run it for the season keeping good notes. Then...
Forgot to mention- CAT guys say they are very happy thus far
Early trials info. This is from texts from the electrician. They are still out running so this is all I have so far: WOT - 2360 rpm and 34 knots...
Wood floor in both heads and galley only. Salon is carpet. I thought about wood for the salon but decided against. I need the warmth of carpet and...
Unfortunately, not that simple. First of all, just getting to the tanks can be an issue. The tank lids are likely underwater or not safely...
This type of puller should be a good option. You do run the risk of pulling the threads in your holes on the prop but if they apply enough heat...

No, I don't have the trials report yet :rolleyes::rolleyes: . But we did light off both of the new Northern Lights Gens yesterday afternoon. They...
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of licensing. I would even be willing to spend the money and time for a mandatory class. It just needs to be...
6-7 feet if ice delivery hose sounds reasonable. Make sure that insulation stays in good form to keep engine room heat from being a problem. I'm...
This is an interesting subject. On its face, the notion of licenses sounds great. But then I factor in the reality that even with a license...
