Could be an exhaust temp alarm. Also, at least on my Viking SC there is an alarm on my bilge pumps. Any time a float switch triggers an alarm...
I just keep my decal in the drawer with my LBO cards and documentation. You will need the number every time you call to clear in. I have never...

The engine failure was due to a crankshaft failure the cause of which was not immediately apparent. The engine had never been overheated, fresh...
Here are another set of realistic numbers to look at. These are estimates off the top of my head. We bought a 9 year old 50 ft Viking Sport...
Capt J my guess is there are a few things at play, that the sticking coefficients and wetting properties are very different between fiberglass and...
Uhh, I think these physics are way off. The volumetric expansion of air is almost 10 times larger than that for diesel fuel. A 40 degree F...

That is a lot of hours on 435 TAs. As said above I would guess they were either run easy and well maintained or they have been rebuilt. I guess...
I have been through the canal 3 or 4 times in a 50 ft boat drawing 3 1/2 to 4 ft, last time was last year. We have to arrive at Dover Sound/north...
As an update, we went with the Stamoid. Main reason is the additional heat from dark sunbrella, and we like the look of the white. I do have...
