By and large I agree that even assuming to get the boat FoC, she would hardly ever be worth the huge amount of work and money required to bring...
Three out of four of your examples wouldn't even spring to mind to anyone who knows what real trawlers are, and you managed to spell incorrectly...
Yup, for a timing job I'm sure the tool you mentioned allows a much better accuracy. Also, I agree that while a bar at the front would be easier...
Funny you should mention it. I thought the same, also because it's rare to see that type of cockpit extension, on this side of the Pond. Makes me...
Doh! You did say flywheel, and I also mentioned it in my previous post, but yes, it's actually the front of the engine that I had in mind, and I...
Out of idle curiosity, since you mentioned that the boat is in England, I just googled around a bit. Is she possibly the Vitech in Brighton? I'm...
I there a specific MAN tool? I wasn't aware of that. A socket wrench with a 32mm hex socket is all it takes. A ratcheting wrench is almost a must...
Yeah, that must be the reason why for all serious commercial fishermen SFs are the boats of choice, and none of them use trawlers instead....
Do you mean that she came all painted from the factory? I would have thought it's all gelcoat - aside from the blue mask, obviously. BTW, I would...
Sounds like this thread is going to be as interesting as your repowering one. Where's the thumbs up emoji when you need it?? And yes, I'm sure...
Just for the records, this is my reference tool for RPM measurement. Costs less than repowering the boat with electronic engines just for the sake...
Folks, regardless of how different our views and experiences are, there is absolutely no point in keeping going round in circles. So, this is my...
'Course there's no way to calculate the load directly in mechanical engines. But even in electronic ones, where do you think the load numbers come...
Why some numbers should be comparable or not based on how they are calculated, when the logic is exactly the same, that is beyond my...
I've got two sight gauges, one on each of the side tanks, and when I mentioned the 27.5 liters/cm I meant one centimeter on both sight gauges....
Well if you feel you NEED that, don't consider my posts. My point exactly. But as I said, if you don't trust my comments, just ignore them. It's...
Nope, I should retrofit flow sensors for real time measurement. Doable, but not worth the hassle/cost. OTOH, I've got calibrated and very accurate...
I think you're largely overestimating the possible effect of the different environment, even if you add the more salty water to the other elements...
I've been saying that for decades, so I should be burned down to the ground by now. On the E side of the Pond, in the UK for instance no...
There can be several reasons for the delayed RINA registration. A typical one is when the boat is kept by the builder as a demo boat, with a...
