Can anyone who possibly know that spot figure what the helmsman was aiming at? I mean, awful handling aside, based on the video alone, I even...
The tubes bundle that I suggested to pull out and clean is the big bronze inner part of the heat exchanger, marked as # 5 in the diagram. The OR...
It shouldn't, also because if you are talking of a check that you made recently, it can only get worse - possibly MUCH worse - when the sea water...
Interesting. I didn't even think of steering, which I assumed driven by DC electrical motor, as you eventually opted for. Are you now going to...
I said nothing against having them on both engines. But I didn't expect to find any, on a 54' sportfish. At that size, hydraulic thrusters (as...
Apples and oranges. As I'm sure you know, your hull is much more demanding in terms of engine load at any rpm, compared to a boat like a Canados.
Your location is correct, and is in fact the same where I am considering to retrofit EGT thermocouples on my engines. The alternative would be to...
Short answer is yes, 2000rpm is ok, in principle. The instruments of your boat only allow you to check the cooling liquid temperature. And what...
Boat porn indeed, keep us updated as the work goes on! BTW, am I right in seeing hydraulic pumps connected to both ZF PTOs? If so, what are they...
Q1: in a nutshell (assuming equally good sizing, installation, etc.), gyros are a bit better at zero speed, and fins are better under way....
How many battery cut offs do you have? And can't you follow the (normally very thick!) cables from there?
Good idea. That covers 95% of possible problems, and you might wish to consider another couple of tricks for the remaining 5%: 1) shrink wrap...
Geez! Am I right in remembering that the Coconut Grove marina is right in front of the City Hall? Must have been some politician. That would...
Nope, can't remember to have heard of it. But I have a funny feeling that they probably wasted another similar amount also on manpower. Just think...
Is whoever suggested that you might need it a genset seller, possibly? :) The max absorption of the Seakeeper 6 is 2300W according to the...
Agreed, but depending on the installation that might be a bit tricky. If the stop solenoid is engaged by turning the key CCV, you can't run the...
Actually, I believe that what you've got in your engine is a bronze raw water pump. This means that you could even not bother disconnecting the...
I am attaching an abstract from the Rexroth catalogue with the pages which I believe to be relevant for the exact identification of those parts. I...
I'm not familiar with ABYC requirements, but I doubt that Gavazzi (the producer) bothered to consider them. Nautical market is meaningless for...
100% agreed. And even if I can't be positive about this, I believe that the above type of heater is designed to be equipped with an external...
