Very nice, thanks for sharing it. The lifting basin at the end looks barely large enough for the boat, how much spare room did you have each side?...
Do you mean that the boat has a 24V domestic battery bank, but the engines are fitted with a 12V starter (hence, I suppose, also 12V engine...
I'd just bring a caliper instead! :)
Very interesting technique. In my boat, whose e/r ceiling is maybe a little bit higher but nowhere near enough to look into the HE box, I made a...
That sounds just right, also according to my props/shafts calculator. Ok, shaft diameter also depends on the specific type of steel used, shaft...
R U asking because you expect it to be fitted together with that Murphy thing? I never came across any kind of coolant recovery on MANs.
I appreciate the convenience, but I suppose that instrument can only provide a meaningful reading on a cold engine, since the coolant closed...
As the old saying goes, every day is a school day. Thanks for enlightening me! I'm not sure to see the point of it, considering that there's a...
If that's the boat, she ain't what I figured when I said the engines probably had an easy life in a "cruiser". Which doesn't imply they are shot...
Are they giving away those chinese aftercoolers, in the US? Around here they are as expensive as if they were still properly built, if not more....
If given a choice between a 1996 MAN and a same vintage Cat 3412, I also would rather pick the latter. But I'm not so sure if you would compare...
That was the LE404 engine, not the LE406. Indeed based on the same block - BTW, 22 litres obviously, not 2.2! - but that's where similarities end....
Looking forward to see more of what looks like a serious refitting project, all the very best for it! Just one question: was the extended cockpit...
Me too. Pouring fresh water with some kind of glycol into the strainer (obviously with seacock closed) is common practice for winterizing the...
No, it is not. When written in a job application, it could be a résumé - a bit pretentious arguably, but that's just a matter of style. When...
And you ask me chest thumping about what?!? Is it so hard to understand why you come across as the one and only thing you claim to NOT be?
That was just a half joke, meant to say what Dockmaster just suggested more accurately.
Can you remember to have ever heard of any S/skr flaws from him? Me, I can't remember to have read anything but (undisclosed) sales pitch about...
Do you mean that YOU bought a rebuilt unit and YOU replaced it? If so, you'll forgive me for highlighting that this is not exactly an easy DIY...
CJ, I'm not arguing with anything you wrote about SL because, aside from not caring at all, it's totally OT. I mean, I only mentioned Riva and SL...
