I haven’t replaced the blowers on my 53 hatt but leaning towards 120v blowers since we pretty much always run the gen. And once back at the...
SeaFlo is all made in china…. I would never use that crap on my boat. Not that jabsco makes high quality product…
Are you sure the stern thruster is on a separate bank? Usually the bow thruster is because of the length of the cables that would be needed but...
Did the engines shut down while using the thrusters? If so that would indicate a voltage issue. do you have separate battery banks for both the...
Rolls are great but cost 3 times as much… they d have to last 3 times longer to make sense
Even for house duties, I ve never had AGM making it past 5 years. Never abused, never discharged too low, quality multistage chargers. Nothing...

I have a dedicated 24v house bank curently two 8Ds but will probably switch to golf cart batteries next time I replace that bank I picked 8Ds...

100 gallons water is a joke. That’s 2 to 3 days on the hook. dock queen.
I missed that in the specs. That is barely half what you would want on a boat that size. My old Hatteras 53 carries 500 USG fuel and 250 USG...
I ran a couple of these Viking MYs on deliveries, pretty good boat. If you run in open waters they can use stabs like any if these small flush...
One only … it goes up easily but it is a pretty big hatch. i have ordered some 1” SS tube so we can rig safety poles
I wouldn’t buy a diesel boat either without an engine survey and oil samples. 600 hours since repower in 2015 is typical of boat usage though....
