Thanks KIWI. Unfortunately the only way I can transfer from aft to fwd is to run the engines and draw from the aft tank and return to the fwd...
Sounds like a good idea. Before you haul out make sure you take and record some good data on RPM's, conditions, boat loaded/unloaded, etc so your...
Fueling up my fwd tanks is a tedious process so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of how to make it easier. The fwd tanks are outboard...
I bought mine in Newport Beach, CA in early 2012. Was named Tiger Shark II but I changed name to Vigorous. If I run at 80% and not into a 2+ knot...
Agree with the comments above. You are a bit overpitched. You want to see 2300 when the boat is loaded with fuel, water, etc. My 54 Donzi with...
Yes but I can buy the Delo 100 readily in my area but can't get the DD oil without shipping it in.
The engine lasted for 21 years and 4,000 hrs. I don't know for certain what oil had been used by previous owners but I have always used Delo 100...
I couldn't agree more Ruby. I didn't "need" a thruster, handled fine without it. But now that I have one I love it. Just makes things a lot...

Sorry, my bad. We use Delo 100 40 wt
I use Chevron Delo 400 30 wt
Nope, she just gave all she had over 21 years. I only fish Salmon and Halibut so no chasing or backing down like you refer to :) #2 cylinder...
Rebuilding this engine definitly puts off repower for foreseeable future. Rebuild will end up in the $75k + range. This includes replacing both...
I had been seriously exploring repowering at the end of the season. Now it is not to be. At start of last trip, got up to cruising speed and...
I guess sometimes you can't even give people what they want :)
I have a complete AP300 system I removed a few years ago. Been sitting in storage for two years. Worked fine when I removed it. I only changed as...
I have a 1994 54' SF (a Donzi z54). I would say $50k per year is only going to be after you have spent lots more getting everything up to par and...
As others have suggested, this is not recommended. When I bought my 54' Donzi in So Cal I contmplated running it up to the PNW or having it...
