Problem is that normally you only descale the coils On the johnson 70 I run we were getting reduced flow on some of the ACs because of the...
Yeah that pretty common, plastic bags will get stuck in the inlet but only kill flow when under suction. Tricky. Usually when you open the...
I really don't see how a swivel will help the anchor set... On the boat I run, I don't use one and anchor probably 100 to 150 times a year. Never...
I have always worried about the fast growth rate of rocks and coral... They grow so fast that they can pop overnight and catch you in a spot where...
That boat is home based next piere from us and I m pretty sure it has RED underwater lights along the hull side and transom. What an appropriate...
I ve been using the boat beacon app on my phone and iPad. Usually almost no delay when I occasionally check data like soeed and heading of larger...
AC discharges can flood the boat so it's a completely different issue than bilge pumps and sumps. If the TH is close to waterline, you do want to...
8V71s are rated at 2300, you need to see 2300rpm at WOT loaded. If you don't get that, or close to, it means you are over propped, something is...
Afaik both the N and TI are rated at 2300 rpm so a max cruise of 1900 to 1950 is reasonable. You didn't say what size both you have but running...
This happened at our marina a fe months ago... A 40ish express was thought to be stolen, a few days later it turned out a mechanic had just picked...
If it s going to happen at the dock, forget running running aground etc Fire is messy and can quickly get out of control. The most plausible...
I am no expert in that rotten line of work but it seems to me that considering the money involved in "moving large amount of drugs" buying a cheap...
"Apparently they manipulated fuel line fittings that had been removed. The reason: To prevent the boat's theft." This drives me nuts... Why can't...
The closest I ve been to a nordhavn is towing a fairly recent 60 footer thru nassau harbor a couple of months ago after the owners called a mayday...
I don't agree about the express style, if anything it s a longer walk from the helm, around to the often narrow side deck to your spring line....
Yep, Hatteras is probably th only builder you can still call and get manuals or blueprints for 40 year old boats!
Bringing in racing, 12 metres etc in this discussion is totally pointless. Although just like with a MY the boat layout and setup is more...
Indeed a boat in the 50/60' range has benefits over a 70/80 footers including smaller slips and often (with exception) shallower draft. Also...
I don't quite understand why wind has anything to do with the size of the boat you can safely single hand. The bigger the boat, the less effect...
Paper plates are so.... Sailboatish :) I guess it all depends, I know many owners who enjoy cooking on board instead of eating out. Personally I...
