After reading all these posts about inconsiderate boaters I've decided my next boat is going to be a motor sailor. It will need to have a...
Generally a stove like that is going to have some portion of it (clock, timer etc) that is only 120V. May have shorted out a 120V component....
The old standard used to be $3k per hole or about $18K. Probably closer to $24k now. The second question is what do you mean by major? Cylinder...
Best way to go is with aluminum or marelon. The best setup is to weld an aluminum through hull into place. 5086 is the preferred material. If...
Those numbers look much much better. EGT's seem pretty good. On those engines 900 degrees is about the high end you want to be at. Are those...
On what? Assuming its an engine you usually go to aluminum to save weight and allow for better flow as you can customize the passages much...
Maybe I missed it but what did the USCG certify the ZLD to be? What type MSD? Many areas are No Discharge Zones - can it be used there? How...
We've been down that way a couple of times. I'd say nothings "deep" down that way. What were you planning on taking down that way? I wouldn't...
When it's blowing 30+ knots from the NNE it is definitely bumpy. 8's, 10's, and maybe a 12 footer. Had to leave Hatteras village going north in...
The problem with all these "solutions" is they are never thought all the way through. Especially those mandated by government. Lead additive...
Putting the solenoids on would just mask the problem. Plus fuel would be getting into the crankcase when you ran the engine anyway. Chances are...
Not sure about that. Do you mean you are not getting the answers you wanted? There has been some good advice on this topic so far. If we...
Capt J was that a De Groot designed Striker? That beam 22' seems too wide for a 58'. Must have been incredibly stable on the troll. Any...
Not all systems have that circuitry. Mine would trip the compressors on high head and leave the pump running. Also you could have a failure of a...
The K is correct. There is another photo posted on the internet with what is left of the boat in slings. Lisa K, Wickford RI Wonder what the...
Your bilge area may have 115V AC but those lines should not be anywhere near the bilge water. The simplest setup will likely be a 12 VDC NC...
How much did the rebuild cost per engine? Thanks
Correct. 485hp 671 TIB's will die a very quick death if they are only able to turn 2150 rpm WOT. Sounds like you are very overloaded. They are...
The latest bottom paint being pushed is based on Econea. Interux and Pettit both have their own versions out. From their literature this paint...
I suggest you start with a book called "The nature of boats" by David Gerr. It will help you do the preliminary work on stability and line...
