As the old saying goes, every day is a school day. Thanks for enlightening me! I'm not sure to see the point of it, considering that there's a...
If that's the boat, she ain't what I figured when I said the engines probably had an easy life in a "cruiser". Which doesn't imply they are shot...
Are they giving away those chinese aftercoolers, in the US? Around here they are as expensive as if they were still properly built, if not more....
If given a choice between a 1996 MAN and a same vintage Cat 3412, I also would rather pick the latter. But I'm not so sure if you would compare...
That was the LE404 engine, not the LE406. Indeed based on the same block - BTW, 22 litres obviously, not 2.2! - but that's where similarities end....
Looking forward to see more of what looks like a serious refitting project, all the very best for it! Just one question: was the extended cockpit...
Me too. Pouring fresh water with some kind of glycol into the strainer (obviously with seacock closed) is common practice for winterizing the...
No, it is not. When written in a job application, it could be a résumé - a bit pretentious arguably, but that's just a matter of style. When...
And you ask me chest thumping about what?!? Is it so hard to understand why you come across as the one and only thing you claim to NOT be?

Can you remember to have ever heard of any S/skr flaws from him? Me, I can't remember to have read anything but (undisclosed) sales pitch about...
Do you mean that YOU bought a rebuilt unit and YOU replaced it? If so, you'll forgive me for highlighting that this is not exactly an easy DIY...
CJ, I'm not arguing with anything you wrote about SL because, aside from not caring at all, it's totally OT. I mean, I only mentioned Riva and SL...
By jumping in the water and swim as far as possible away from the boat before it explodes! :D
So what? Riva and Sanlorenzo are both WAY better than Sunseeker, but that's not what the OP asked. FWIW, I fully agree with what Pascal said ref....
Lying on the seabed, more than likely! :D Sorry for the cruel joke, I couldn't resist. I can't help with regard to sourcing a prop in FL either,...
Why? I'm not familiar with halibuts here in the Med, but one of our largest catches is bluefin tuna, and the larger ones are widely regarded as...
It isn't just Tides, all lip seals rely on perfect shaft smoothness by design, since the sealing ring is constantly rubbing against the shaft....
Indeed. Thanks to RossC for enlightening us. Sounds to me like a solution to a problem that never existed and never will, but... Hey-ho! :D
Am I wrong in recalling that you had corrosion problems? BTW, have you got their so-called gen 2 face seal, or one of the older lip seals?...
