Owners never criticize their boats because sooner or later they will need to sell them ... the best advice come from captains who run and and...
8 years old and the gelcoat needs to be worked on? Either poor quality gelcoat or not maintained. Either one being a red flag.
I don’t see the point of using SS instead of bronze. All the fittings are available in bronze. Not worth taking a risk. And try to stick to US...
I m not seeing long life from remote condenser either. On my own 53, with 5 condensers I was replacing one compressor every couple of years so on...
That’s the beauty of chillers; redundancy. If you loose one, the boat is still usable although a little warmer on a summer afternoon... lose the...
Yes but the diameter of the hoses is larger
I depends on the layout of the boat and how much room and access you have to run the insulated hoses in my case it was easy. The master is...
that s one benefit of a chiller system. You can have less chiller capacity than Air handlers. Probably why in the nordhavn comparison the splits...
Having used both on boats I run, when i started refitting my own (53 Hatt) going with chillers was a no brainer. I m so glad I did.
Maybe ok with a generator running but indeed not with the mains. Although looking at the specs 16k btu is probably useless. Also very surprised...
Yes. My old hatt is solid glass except the decks which are balsa cored. Unfortunately afaik Lazzara has never had any delamination or core...
Issues with panels isn’t only a Lazzara issue. Many builders used that Velcro foam backed fabric which after 10 years falls apart. An easy fix...
Forgot something. Divinycel and other foams are great but it is my understanding that balsa offerS better bonding to the glass.
I ve been running a 2009 84 skylounge for 4 1/2 years now... I put over 2000 hours on the C32s in that time and about 4000 hours on each generator...
Using flex lines between the pump and the hard lines, and maybe between the hard lines and the helm maybe something worth trying
Did the test on Friday, results this morning, got the visa within two hours. No problems. cuba? Having to ask permission to anchor out somewhere...
Had the same issue on a 2003 johnson 70 skylounge with single station power steering hynautic You could a slight whine although it wasn’t loud...
Yes but that’s so they can troll at very low speed. And then, being sportfishes, they run flat out back home. :)
As long as they are running at normal operating temp they ll be fine. In most cases hull speed will keep them at normal temp
Again, people associated with the team...
