So, in a nutshell, you disagree with yourself? In my previous post I was talking of stabilizers in general, and I only mentioned the gyro that I...
Mine is maybe a misconception, but yours surely remains a sweeping generalization.
Necessary is a strong world. Any boat can stay afloat without stabs, but name me a monohull vessel that doesn't benefit from them, if you can -...
Welcome to the asylum, and thanks for an interesting first post. Hopefully someone used to tar all Italian boats with the same brush might...
I get that, but boats are sold to folks who use them, not to those who work on them. And talking of "Italian boats" in general is just a sweeping...
There's no right or wrong answer to whether they are worth the cost or not - each to their own on that. But since in your OP the focus seemed to...
Seconded 100%.
'Salright, as long as there are many more reasons why people love them. It's only money after all, and you only live once. Here in Italy, we don't...
Why? If anything, it's just the "about 20 years" that is a bit off the mark. Ragnetti supported Fabio Perini since the Company foundation, in...
I agree with everything you wrote, but actually running at wot unloaded is one of the normal checks for diesel engines. Didn't they do that with...
That would have been also my preference. But it's fair to say that the ZF stuff usually mated to Cat engines is not bad, either.
Fair enough, that sounds acceptable. I mean, the boat reaction, not the controls fault, of course!
Mmm... Did you actually try that with any other boats? As I said, it should be part of routine tests for any new boat. And a total power cut on...
I also wouldn't, because the 130 doesn't have any hull windows! :)
What?!? Neither the surveyor nor the mechanic suggested to clean the bottom and the underwater gear while the boat was out, before going for a...
Agreed, but that's understandable to a large extent. You don't want to go out for pleasure in any sea that can throw tons of green water at you...
For some reason I previously missed your reply. I'm no SF expert at all, is that a behaviour you would expect from any of them? A sudden total...
Was also the stop solenoid jammed? That would be a weird concidence, 'cause usually they have nothing to see with the control levers.
Good choice, but what does low voltage have to see with your Hynautics controls? They need no current at all, AFAIK. Or did I miss a separate issue?
Nope, that's also included as standard in Kobelt actuators. If you look at this webpage, the actuator levers with red and black balls on top are...
