I wholeheartedly agree with the first of these statements, but not so much with the latter. In my experience, you can go wrong with ANY brand. But...
Be sure to be sitting down when you'll read the new quote...
Well, if I really should find myself in those conditions in a 40m sailboat, I might well re-think the idea of crossing oceans by boat, but I...
C32 AC cores at $334 each? That deserves a place as an example of what "wishful thinking" means in the dictionary! :D
Well, with all due respect for the rest of what Olderboater said, imho the crucial point in his post was actually a question: "basically are you a...
I've only just seen this thread. For all the ins and outs of MMDS displays, I've got the repair manual on a file. Too large to upload it directly...
Just for the records, in the meantime I had a chance to check the MAN maintenance schedule, and I can also confirm that Beau was correct. MAN...
Ok, but in this case I wouldn't call that an inherent defect of u/w exhausts. Just a poor installation (or re-installation) of a component that...
Imho nope, nothing "wrong". But I'm not sure I would bother doing anything at all, in your boots. Aside from if and when the boat should stay on...
Hang on, are you Rocketpip with a new username? If not, I can't believe that we have two persons here who know about this boatbuilder, because...
Don't hold your breath. In fact, in your boots, I'd follow NYCAP latest suggestion...;)
Yet again, I see your point and agree with it in principle. Fully underwater exhausts along the hull bottom are very popular though, at least...
I guess you actually don't have a "full" underwater exhaust if you can do that, but rather round steel tubes sticking out from the stern of the...
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, obviously. That strikes me as an awfully impractical and totally unacceptable layout, but each to...
I agree with the principle, but I'm not aware of any way to do that on a boat with u/w exhausts while she's sitting in the water. BTW, the u/w...
May I ask you which one? The boat in your Avatar has a Cantieri di Pisa flavour, but I don't think that's what she really is.
I'm afraid you might be correct in fearing that a quality mechanic could be hard to find, because your engines are the very last evolution of the...
My understanding of the reason is that in any stone cold start the engines are essentially spinning with no lubrication. But the same result can...
Does this Tim chap assume that all boats have block heaters? I wouldn't have expected them to be so popular, among FL boaters.
Roger wilco. :)
