I know nothing about Pantropic, but I wouldn't be happy to pay an engine survey to anyone who would only connect the laptop and look at its...
From the webpage you linked: "Double acting brass cylinder" Brass?!? WTF were they thinking is the question that springs to mind. In your boots, I...
Correct. But I would include that among the cons rather than the pros of IPS. In fact, the reason why builders are jumping on that bandwagon has...
Agreed. Frankly, I was also a bit surprised to see the circuitry inside the small box (never opened it before). After all, they are fully...
Happy to have been helpful! Yep, the rubber seal seemed original, and was there in both boxes. But as you surely have seen, the larger box has...
That actually sounds like there was NO delamination, in those stringers. I mean, the most critical point for delamination is where the stringers...
It appears that also the smaller box in your pics is the same as mine. Ref. the wiring, check out the pics below. Obviously I didn't detach the...
Yup, I'm onboard as I'm writing. It's actually an exception when I'm NOT living aboard, rather than the other way round! :) Not a problem to open...
Not sure if in the meantime you sorted the problem, but today it popped to my mind that I told you I was going to cross-check the behaviour on my...
55 to 75 is a helluva range, to start with. But I think you can find good solutions also in the lower side of that. In your boots, since as I...
Agreed. I would hate even more the idea that this mr.somebody could have done anything else on the boat... o_O
I wasn't aware of that. Out of curiosity, I just had a look at their US website and trim tabs are indeed mentioned:...
That's just the impression I got from the first video that was linked, but what do I know...?
You are sticking to the usual reasoning, which I never objected against. Let's say that we are talking of a boat powered and propped to reach 20...
All agreed.
Wrong feeling. Diesel engines don't like running for long very lightly loaded, in principle. In fact, it doesn't even make sense to talk of...
Well, of course as air is extracted from the engine compartment it's replaced by fresh air coming in from the intakes. This does NOT mean that...
I don't disagree with your last statement, but many semi-displacement vessels are equipped with engines rated for 2300 rpm or more, designed for...
Not a good idea. Blowers extract air from the engine compartment, so by keeping them on while the engine is running you are "stealing" air to the...
Not necessarily. I'm well aware that what you and CJ suggest is indeed the general rule for propping - to the point that engine manufacturers...
