Either I'm not understanding what you mean, or I'm missing something. Let's take a typical gearbox like the one below. It's directly coupled to...
I didn't say that the C32 aren't solid, but pretty sure if there's one thing that Cat didn't improve in them vs. the good old 3412, that's...
Guilty as charged for using the wrong term, indeed the pulley is what I had in mind when I wrote flywheel. In fact, my comment about being...
Engines requiring to be rebuilt at less than 2000 hours makes it hard to argue with anyone suggesting to stay away...:confused:
Good suggestion. But unless hard to "see", due to how the engines are installed and how much space there is around them, I'd rather put the tape...
Sorry Judy, can't help with your inquiry, but you made me curious, 'cause I don't think there are many 63' steel trawlers around with Thrustmaster...
Makes me wonder what they would say if that valve were electrical. After all, when closed, it's exactly as closed as a manual one! :)
I see, but boarding aside, does that mean YOU must pull the fridge every time you need to empty the tank? Possibly better than going down inside a...
Positively +1, that's downright silly - if not even dangerous, inside a hot engine room. No idea about what US-specific requirements are (if...
Yes, that's the boat I was referring to. A davit for handling the anchor? Now, that's an idea that I'm not surprised to have never seen in any...
I've only just seen this thread now that it has been revamped. Very nice vessel, that Minnow in post #381. But I can see neither an anchor nor any...
My post wasn't meant to support the logic of the regulations - I did say that emissions of these boats are obviously irrelevant in the global...
R U sure? In Europe, AFAIK the 550 comes with MANs i6/800hp, and it's a 31+ kts wot/25 kts cruise boat. Nothing against the Cummins (which in fact...
The 24m LLL limit above which a proper license becomes mandatory is pretty much a (UK-driven) European thing, I believe. That's the reason why all...
I cruised the Croatian islands for 10 years, including (obviously) the Kornati archipelago, but I would struggle to suggest a type of boat better...
Amen to that.
In each of the respects you are interested in, I would rank the Ferretti 1st, the S/skr 2nd, and the Azi 3rd.
Correct, but beware: calculated doesn't mean inaccurate. I mean, if you compare the modern "calculated" way to show fuel burn with the old school...
You will struggle to find any, 'cause the yard was only active up to the late 90s, when they reconverted to maintenance and storage only. I'm...
Can't help you with that particular boat, but are you sure that there is a diverter, to start with? In many modern boats, toilet discharge can...
