The problem is, on the pressurized raw water side, if anything gets clogged and pressure spikes and a glued fitting lets go, it completely blows...
Nobody builds a boat with glued fittings on the raw water side of anything, with the vibration and slamming a boat can take, it's a recipe for...
WHAT DOES ANY OF THESE BOATS MENTIONED HAVE TO DO WITH "SPORTFISHING BOATS FOR CRUISING?"
No, these days the costs to refurbish the boat far exceed what it's worth when it's finished, generally by about 3 fold.
More blade area in a tunnel that's a tad too small.
Your vibration comes from inadequate blade tip clearance. Sharrow props would only exasperate that, if they work any better than VEEMs to begin...
I don't think so. All of Sharrow's baseline tests have been doctored to show performance much worse than independent boat tests, mercury and...
Because they are built specifically for those windows before they leave the factory. The hulls are heavily reinforced in those areas to...
How do you know the hull is strong enough in these areas to add these windows???? I sure as heck wouldn't buy a boat that someone did this too....
Barnacle buster is Phosphoric acid, here's there MSDS TRAC-SDS-1206-Barnacle-Buster-Concentrate.pdf (trac-online.com) The H8eraide, I cannot find...
Barnacle buster is a lot more acidic than the other two mentioned. H8eraide uses detergents and such.
This lovely 72' San Lorenzo I deal with did just that. Had 5 compressors as one chiller. Condacaria thought it would be a great idea to have a...
Yeah, the center tank screwed up the COG on the Bertram 57' and with 1/2 fuel or more the boat is a complete submarine, extremely wet. I did well...
My A/C company uses this stuff and has for the past 5-10 years. They've been in business 30+ years and a dometic/cruise air/marine air dealer for...
Cabo never installed a March pump in your boat. They didn't use them in the larger boats, only Scott style pumps like you have. I wouldn't run...
It won't be enough. You're not accounting for head pressure. Using a pump that flows 40% less volume is not going to work. What'll happen is if...
There's no flybridge a/c? What does the origional pump flow? I would replace it with the exact same pump, since you stated access is a bear....
March's are a special breed, they are magnetic drive with plastic parts inside the pump. The Scott pump and similar use a bronze body with bronze...
Your air conditioning raw water pump is 30 years old??? I find that extremely hard to believe, because I've replaced plenty of them in Italian...
They're not, they're just easier to manufacture in different sizes to fit different areas. I think they may cost more as most of the fiberglass...
