Hindsight is a great thing, but the OP boat is already on the hard, stored in a place where turning the engines on is forbidden...
Cruising at 25 kts, I suppose with rudders centered, then one prop suddenly slows to idle speed (but still spinning), and the boat hooks?!? I'd be...
I'm a fan of engine flushing in general, but without knowing for sure that there's no risk of water reversal, Fiammetta's suggestion does make...
Simple, they don't. Green water smashing through the bridge windows of commercial ships are not unheard of. And comparably strong glasses are...
I couldn't agree more. But if the hynautic controls the OP mentioned are the ones I have in mind, they are a very different animal vs. the...
Cheer up, nobody's perfect... :) :p
Positively +1 to what Oscarvan said, also because it doesn't depend only on the engine. Also how a wet exhaust and its raw water re-injection (or...
LOL, that's an invitation that would fit 99% of boaters! :D
Retrofitting electronic controls on non-electronic engines is a pet peeve of mine, for two reasons. First, they don't fully replace the...
Pump cavitation is never going to happen if the water from the connected hose is pressurized, which of course it would be. And it's pointless to...
Not the most reassuring sort of previous owner to buy a boat from...
I've only just seen this old thread now. It's kinda funny that someone thought to stick a label under a panel which is already clearly labelled in...
Weird windlass arrangement.
Good luck.
Do you mean that your yard stored the boat without flushing the engines and filling them with antifreeze first? You'd better move the boat...
I can't figure how your exhaust/discharge system is designed, because you said in post #8 that you can hear the water running out. Does your boat...
Thanks for a sanity check, which should be a given by now, but obviously not to everyone. All the best for a prompt and full recover to you and...
Ok, that's one of the transducers that I previously mentioned, with internally tilted element and no fairing block. So, you definitely need to...
Unusual on pleasure boats maybe, but I wouldn't be concerned at all, considering also the one year timeframe. On any commercial boat, oil changes...
Cat DEO is just Mobil Delvac MX with a yellow label.
