We've run Prop Speed on propellers for two seasons now with very good results. Plan to add it to the struts and rudders next season.
We have a bit more power, 500HP Cat C7.1's. RPM isn't useful since I have higher RPM engines. That noted, we cruise 23-24 kts at 70-75% per...
Last weekend we ran in quartering following sea a few hours down the bay and quartering head seas coming back up the bay. Roll was almost non...
Thanks for the info. I've had problems at Chestertown, and times when it worked fine.
Possibly what I need is to make a short chord I can plug inline at my dock with the separate wires accessible so I can check with a mA loop...
My clamp meter claims to read below 1mA but the only place I could use it to capture a line and neutral is the split behind the show power...

I found and fixed issues before where there was a continuity between ground and neutral. The DVM says there is no continuity between ground and...

I've been mulling for a couple years how to get the guest cabin to cool/heat better when guests have both cabin doors closed (43 has a door to the...

Ours is a Gen-II, hull 43078. Another forum member has a Gen-1 (1987) and is 43072. So the hull change is somewhere in the inbetween 5 boats....
