I said nothing against having them on both engines. But I didn't expect to find any, on a 54' sportfish. At that size, hydraulic thrusters (as...
Apples and oranges. As I'm sure you know, your hull is much more demanding in terms of engine load at any rpm, compared to a boat like a Canados.
Your location is correct, and is in fact the same where I am considering to retrofit EGT thermocouples on my engines. The alternative would be to...
Short answer is yes, 2000rpm is ok, in principle. The instruments of your boat only allow you to check the cooling liquid temperature. And what...
Boat porn indeed, keep us updated as the work goes on! BTW, am I right in seeing hydraulic pumps connected to both ZF PTOs? If so, what are they...
Q1: in a nutshell (assuming equally good sizing, installation, etc.), gyros are a bit better at zero speed, and fins are better under way....
How many battery cut offs do you have? And can't you follow the (normally very thick!) cables from there?
Good idea. That covers 95% of possible problems, and you might wish to consider another couple of tricks for the remaining 5%: 1) shrink wrap...
Geez! Am I right in remembering that the Coconut Grove marina is right in front of the City Hall? Must have been some politician. That would...
Nope, can't remember to have heard of it. But I have a funny feeling that they probably wasted another similar amount also on manpower. Just think...
Is whoever suggested that you might need it a genset seller, possibly? :) The max absorption of the Seakeeper 6 is 2300W according to the...
Agreed, but depending on the installation that might be a bit tricky. If the stop solenoid is engaged by turning the key CCV, you can't run the...
Actually, I believe that what you've got in your engine is a bronze raw water pump. This means that you could even not bother disconnecting the...
I am attaching an abstract from the Rexroth catalogue with the pages which I believe to be relevant for the exact identification of those parts. I...
I'm not familiar with ABYC requirements, but I doubt that Gavazzi (the producer) bothered to consider them. Nautical market is meaningless for...
100% agreed. And even if I can't be positive about this, I believe that the above type of heater is designed to be equipped with an external...
Indeed. In fact, that photo was taken upon inspection of a 14 years old boat, with all the switches original and still as good as new.
I wasn't aware that Hatteras ever used them. I've only seen them on very few boats, and they were all from Italian builders. Anyhow, yes, the...
I hate Rule stuff, but I don't like Ultras, either. Imho, it's better to leave any electronic components nowhere near bilges. Not sure if by "I'm...
You are making me curious, on which boat(s) did you come across them? They are pretty rare also among Italian builders - at least the half decent...
