CR, I believe you must be confusing PSS with Tides. In fact, the latter is indeed a lip seal, and allows to keep a spare ready to replace a worn...
That made me wondering, either. I guess RossC was actually referring to some sort of engines sync device. But if not, I'd be also curious to hear...
Yes, but it ain't a big tin, really. Can't speak for the OP boat (or any others with a similar setup, for that matter), but in mine those 5 fuses...
Good for you, 'cause when they do, they have the bad habit to stay stuck closed. In fact, coming to think of it, I've only ever seen fuses on...
I can't be positive about your Simrad display, but many transducers are actually built by Airmar, and they just come with the appropriate plug...
Welcome to the club! I also keep coming across something I've never seen before on a boat, after 30+ years of boating. :D Though fuses for...
I half recall to have sen in a 55 fly a schematic drawing of the boat on stbd side of the lower helm, with LEDs showing what is on/off. I can't be...
Wow. You told me about the lively (to put it very mildly!) maiden voyage of Dream Chaser, when many years ago I came to see her in FLL and you...
Welcome to internet! :D
Me too, and yes they did. Actually, all of those up to 65' were single screw, IIRC.
I am actually based in southern Sardinia, just about on the opposite side of the island (which is big!). But it only takes a knowledge of the...
In Nardò ring (southern Italy), talking of average speed doesn't make any sense. It's a circular ring, all at a constant banking angle, specially...
Aha, thanks for enlightening me. Every day is a school day! :)
I believe a young Bruno Sacco designed that thing, well before he became head designer at MB. But by then, his even younger compatriot Marcello...
A border south of FTL? Did I miss some news about Miami drug dealers establishing an independent state? :D
Aha, I see. I believe the LXE were actually very similar if not identical to the LE401. Can't remember when exactly, but at some stage MAN simply...
BTW, I forgot to mention: if you are sure that the boat was never repowered, I can see two possible alternatives. Either the boat has 820 rather...
No way, unless repowered. In those days, the higher power MAN V10 available was 820hp. The 1100 is actually the higher power ever among MAN V10,...
ChiTown, your boat is on straight shafts, right? The arrangement that you mention is typical of boats where access to the outboard sides of...
The plot thickens. Lunderic, you said your engines are mechanical V10, but which version exactly? LE401 820hp, I suppose? I'm asking because in my...
