I agree with comments about lapping prop to the shaft. I know the sequence of the nuts has been discussed and debated at length. The sequence can...
I agree with Pascal and don't see the need for a bridle. I anchor in much deeper water regularly and I just make the 8 plait line off to my C/L...
The Tech Rep commented that he thought the added heat was from the clutch plates but I didn't get further into it than that comment. Hoping we see...
Thanks. I think we are in pretty good shape. There was some small visible corrosion on the clutches and the Tech thought there might be some...
If memory serves yes. Although now that I think about it I believe there is a small H/E for the power steering system after the gear cooler. But I...
On mine, the oil cooler is last in line before the water discharges the boat. We found coolers that are nearly identical. Same diameter and...
The Twin Disc Rep that we used said these gears are as bullet proof as they come. He said that is one reason it is hard to get parts. The demand...
Thought I would follow-up on this. I used the boat for the rest of last season and had no problems with the Stbd trans. However, it continued to...
I have similar DDEC controls but not the series III. I would check the Fire suppression system first as suggested by Capt J. If that checks out...
I have the exact set-up you are describing. I have an ac powered shallow well type pump with pressure tank as primary. Then I have a back-up dc...
We did my 12v92's (just 2(ea) 6v92's inline) in the boat and I have no access hatches over the engines and minimal overhead clearance. We removed...
I had my flybridge enclosure done last winter. I went with the heavy weight Stamoid. I agree with Capt J and the Stamoid can be a challenge to...
I have a Yamaha and it has been great. Certainly can't wrong with a Honda either. I also have a friend with one of the newer Champions and he...
I have 12v92's TTA at 1,050 hp each. Not sure which model/hp 12v92's you are looking at. I have traditional props so can't speak to the jet drives...
I can start them in winter without heat but don't unless necessary. When I shipped the boat up it was unloaded from Transport ship in February. No...
My 12v92's have the heaters toward the front of the motors. both heaters are inboard side just above the stringer rails. They are about the size...
Suggest you see the replies on the other thread where you posed similar question and have received feedback.
I can only speak to the experience with the 92's in my boat. I've never had a problem reaching 2,350 RPM. Even right before time to MOH I would...
Lots of 92's out there (although not nearly as many as the 71's given length of time they were produced). I got nearly 4,000 hours and over 20...
I deal with weld-on zincs regularly. They are very typical on commercial, steel hulls. The zincs come with steel tabs to weld to the hull. But as...
