I believe you are correct Lew. I don't have any current plans to do anything with the mufflers. I will check to see if there is something...
I’m putting same engines in my 54’ Donzi currently. You don’t hear about too many issues with these engines. Hope you find the problem soon.
Please update as you continue to work this issue. What year and hp are the C-18s? Also, for what its worth, on some commercial ships that we have...
They are under the cockpit in the Laz so no easier (or harder) now then another time. We’ll have a look at them and it is on my list to talk to...

Doing a complete repower so have the following available for sale. Will sell everything in a lot or will consider selling individual parts and...
It’s not reasonably possible to go with longer struts. Doing so changes the shaft angle and throws everything off. The shaft logs are matched to...
The crane has built in load cells. We pre-weighed all the rigging and the cradle.
Very hard to tell from this photo. From the angle it looks like the blade may not be at its closest point to the hull? But what the heck, it is...
