Here's my next dumb question: Does it matter which side of the helm I put the new engine/gear controls? Existing set-up is the old style with gear...
Thank you PB!
Why can't the owner simply blank off the stern tube and rudder opening and put the boat afloat and go to another yard? We blank openings in ships...
FCI? Sorry, not familiar with that acronym
I looked at the Express XT first then saw the Legend. For a few bucks more it looks like a more robust unit and a better control panel. But it may...
PB - Is my math correct that using the 2.75" shafts with 1.97:1 will give me an actual safety factor of 4.9177 ? I just did a simple % take off...
Thanks for the tip on the Bluewater Watermakers. From my initial research these look like great units. I'm honing in on the Legend 750 gpd unit.
Curious if folks have recommendations on where to list the stuff coming out for sale? Engines, gears, full DDEC system, etc. Looks like Ebay is...
What is the name of his watermaker units or company?
I'm interested in recommendations for a watermaker and an engine room camera monitoring system. For the watermaker I'm looking for something in...

Just got the recommendation from a Veem supplier. 33x40 5 blade interceptor. I was told with the blade surface area it is more like 40.5" pitch....
The relaunching, or undocking as it's called in the big ship world is where 85% of related accidents occur. It usually involves fuel, ballast or...
Thank you. We will have a look and NDT the area where the shaft connects to the blade. Lew do you have any specs on the struts you changed to?...
So I finalized some decisions and have all the big stuff now firmly on order: 2(ea) CAT C-18 ACERT @ 1150 mhp - 2(ea) ZF665A gears with 1.97:1...
So I just got my first prop recommendation from ZF. They indicate if I go with 1.97:1 then I really need to increase prop diameter as 28" is too...
These photos are old from when I bought the boat and surveyed it. All paint was removed and redone. The prop nuts are now in proper orientation....
All the furniture, cabinets, TV lift, carpet, etc have now been removed from the salon. Upon removal of the A/C valance in the ovhd of the salon...
