It's always good to hear from a boater happy about his/her new pride and joy, whatever the choice is. After all, there's also an old saying about...
Well, maybe myself and my wife are more fussy than really necessary. BTW, the boat has integral fiberglass tanks for everything...
Just curious, how many of you folks actually drink water from the boat tank? Personally, I never did, even if none of my boats had corrosion or...
Just for the records, while I can't be positive about that, I don't think it's actually the case. It looks like the OP is the same chap that...
Wow. If you are sure of that, you've got some cool running engines there. Though as I recall, in CRM engines the much higher numbers quoted by...
It takes a fair degree of luck to reach the exact leaking spot with an endoscope, inside a baffled tank. Still, depending also on how reachable...
God only knows how. With your engines, it's impossible to tell what the load is, at any given RPM. The best you can get is an estimate, based on...
Good question, for which there's no such thing as a right or wrong answer. What Capt J said makes good sense from a "normal" boater viewpoint....
Precisely. And we aren't talking of builders who chose the technologies depending on which way the wind blows.
That's true, theoretically. But in practice, I am seeing a different trend: those who want to add zero speed stabilization to fins that work only...
Forget interceptors of all sort, then. But any old school fin stabs would be great for that purpose. You might even check what system the OP has...
I am sorry to sound scaremongering, but that specific engine model is among the very first where MAN introduced CRM (THE first on V8 block), and...
Neither they are not meant to. As well as trim tabs, interceptors they can generate a lifting force only as long as there is a water flow that...
You certainly will. While you are at that, you might consider also fitting a T along the cooling hose, connecting it to the onboard fresh water...
Based on your photos, I don't think you need to replace those seals. Just follow Capt Ralph suggestions, and I bet they'll last another 6 years or...
Attached you can find an abstract of the technical manual, with the two pages releted to what you are asking. But beware, 10°C is actually the...
Well, maybe. By definition, I am unaware of what I don't know - I'm not different from any other other human being in this respect! And overrated...
Glad to have helped. Actually, I compressed the file before uploading it, because the original was above the forum size limit. I can email it if...
Not really. In my example, the night was crystal clear, and in such conditions radar only comes second, after eyeball. Depending on sea...
Can this be of any interest?
