External? Wazzat?
Why, if you don't mind me asking? I'd rather consider doing exactly the opposite, if the existing system would run on self contained units. You...
Pershing 5X
I prefer to neither rebuild them nor replace them, it's rather a matter of chosing the best stuff. I've seen 30+ years old boats with the original...
If you're sure it is, sand it to bare wood and forget it. Having owned a 100% timber boat for 17 years, I'd rather not have wood anywhere on the...
You could check out the flushing system that I explained in this post . That installation is actually referred to the engines, but I have...
No reason to be sorry. Cruise ship joke aside, I'm well aware that triple docking stations can and do exists, which is precisely the reason why I...
Pardon?!? o_O
You mean 3 stations, one being in the cockpit on top of the "usual" two, I suppose? 3 docking stations sounds like you're talking of a cruise...
A bilge pump only accessible after pulling out the engine?!? And I thought to have seen it all.... :D My interest for what Norseman posted was...
You're saying that as if it were a defect, but in my view that's the best way to connect and control a pump which is only meant to get rid of some...
Interesting anyway, thanks for sharing it. I must say it's the sort of thing that normally I would dismiss an cheap chinese cr@p, but your...
That's impressive! Can't see the brand/model from your photo, do you mind telling us? And do you possibly know if there is also a 24V version?
Nope, it's the raw water pump I was talking about, which I believe is what CJ was referring to for the 183 MTUs in the post I replied to. But I...
Correct. They fitted a bronze raw water pump which runs forever and never needs an impeller replacement, but God only knows what they were...
I suspect that the switch is just on/off, and whoever fitted it didn't think that it would have been more logical to attach the label "Port AC...
I see. I assumed the opposite (i.e., that they are NOT the same) just because otherwise, as you pointed out, the prop slip would be unreal. But...
I didn't read your post before writing mine, but my understanding is that the SPARE props are 50", while the pitch of props currently installed on...
Wow. If the engines were man enough to spin 50' pitch props at 2300rpm with that gear ratio, she would be a speed demon. Assuming a slip in the...
Ok, but in principle the engine should withstand a very short burst of everheat, without consequences serious enough to find coolant in the oil....
