I can't be positive because I might be confusing this with another boat/builder, but did you actually see any smoke coming out of those side...
Yes thanks, all good here. I hope likewise at your end. Apologies for not remembering what your old boat was, but if it came from the builder...
Sarnico, your question is making me curious. Did you ever come across a boat where exhaust is routed either to the main pipe or to a bypass by...
I don't think the boat could perform that way with cracked heads etc. Do you know what happened, since then? And how many hours had the engines...
Check out the following webpages. Not many details, and I'm afraid they are in Italian, but that's all I could find. A translator should give you...
How could you tell the load? The 1100 MANs the OP mentioned are 100% mechanical (same as mine), and if you are aware of any method for knowing at...
RER, I tried to explain why I couldn't understand your point. If the only explanation you can give for it is based on hearsay, you're the one who...
I see your point CR, but the temperature-driven volume difference is bound to be nowhere near high enough to compensate the lower gas volume due...
Why/how? Of course if the boat can't reach the rated RPM because it's overpropped, she will run at higher than normal load, and this is another...
You seem worried by not being able to reach the max rpm, but that's just a consequence. What a too high exhaust backpressure does, first and...
Don't make the (admittedly very common) mistake to think that displacement hulls/boats burn less fuel. It's displacement speed that does! I mean,...
I see. Makes good sense, of course cruising at WOT is never a good idea, unless with engines rated as continuous unrestricted - which the MAN...
If you don't mind me asking, which max RPM/speed can you reach? 25/26 kts @2000 rpm suggests that the boat should reach the low if not the mid 30s...
I've only just seen this post after replying to your other thread where you said you're looking at a Viking 50 powered by a MAN 1050hp. Are you...
I see you're based in Italy - and maybe you're also Italian, I guess from your user name? Not a criticism, mind. I'm Italian myself, in fact!...
Check out the following old thread first: https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/motronica-parts-for-azimut-yacht.32912/
Well, let's leave aside for a moment the fact I'm as entitled to say that I'm not a Sunseeker fanboy as you're entitled to reiterate (for the Nth...
While reading this thread, I did actually think of four different brands/models that I would consider before getting out of bed to check out those...
CJ, everyone familiar with the forum knows that Sunseeker is your usual answer to folks looking for whatever boat. And I could argue with that in...
Several other boats are better than the Manhattan 55, not just the Princess.
