You should have moved a bit further north, up to Anacortes. For all their faults, I must say that at Northern Marine they were remarkably kind and...
Really? Mind, I have no reasons to doubt of your knowledge/experience, but as an Italian and as a Mediterranean boater, I never (and I mean it!)...
Guys, I fully understand the principle. But a twin compressors chiller works exactly in the same way as two single compressor chillers, for any...
True, in principle. But in practice, I never heard of anything but a compressor failing, in a chiller unit. And one faulty compressor has...
Aha, I see. I assumed that the only reason for two separate chillers was to place them in different parts of the boats, each connected to its own...
In terms of redundancy, it's actually the other way round: in your setup, if one pump fail, you lose whatever half of the boat that chiller unit...
It's actually 19 years old in my boat - I did write "my 2004 boat", didn't I? But yes, I've seen also similar pumps on other boats which are still...
I'm not familiar with Oberdorfer raw water pumps because they are unheard of, around here. But if that's what their lifespan is supposed to be,...
By the time a stainless steel pipe whose interior is in contact with diesel 24/7 (without any air inside it!) will start rusting due to a little...
Replacing just about anything is always a good advice, but by the same token, the OP could as well replace the whole boat with a brand new one......
Coming to think of it, you might be right. Filu 'e ferru could well be considered as dangerous as nitroglycerine, by anyone not used to drink...
I've lost count of the times I heard about such recommendations. Which makes me wonder why so few builders use all s/steel fuel pipes, as I have...
Only goes to prove that I know what I'm talking about! :D That said, call me romantic if you wish, but I still spell Country with a capital C.
Do they, really? It seems to me that you've been unable to elect a half decent president in the last 60 years oro so. Might as well toss a coin,...
Your location suggests that you will go to FLIBS to promote the Marina di Porto Rotondo. If so, in your boots I'd rather arrange a tasting of filu...
Trouble is, 10kt could mean either running at 1000rpm and very low load on a planing boat, or WOT on a large and heavy trawler, with anything in...
It looks like "Murphy Switchgage" (whatever that means) is written above the lens.
Yup, low level alarm is indeed the most reasonable guess. Interestingly, such alarm is already included as standard in my 800hp V8 - even if MAN...
What do you mean other than boat owners? . . . ...Sorry, couldn't resist! :D
In this respect, I fully agreed with your OP comments, and also with the others that followed from Fjol70, Pascal, and CRalph (in a nutshell:...
