I learned my lesson with hose clamps so have plenty of those. I have some rescue tape but probably should get some flex tape too. Good suggestion....
Just finished installing a pair of new C-18 ACERT 1150hp in my Sportfish. What spares should I carry aboard? I asked CAT several times and they...
Or better yet, surprised someone hasn't mentioned how this thread is about saving a few bucks on finding a rental car while you go on a 3 week...
I have shipped several cars. Most of what you find online are 3rd party brokers. A lot depends on what kind of car you are shipping. If it's a...
And is your fluctuation only when you are in low idle mode? What does it do in normal idle? What does it do when cruising and at WOT?
Just having truck batteries vs marine is not why your windlass caused a problem. You have something else going on. Was your generator also running...
I want to be able to pull up camera view when I’m not on the boat via my phone, iPad or computer. SIMRAD doesn’t offer web connectivity. Doesn’t...
Yes, CAT is. of course. looking out for CAT. So the flip side of this is if they weren't 100% happy it is easy for them to demand changes. It's no...
Good to hear you are not running the windlass without the engine running. But if the engines were running why didn't the alternator charge as you...
I think it is too early to tell if I will adjust the props. I want to get all the weight back on and get some hours behind us and log some data. I...
WOT was 30 kns. I think I saw 31 once, with the tide, wind and going down hill :) I never had enough confidence in the Detriot's to cruise at 80%...
Finished the second and final day of trials yesterday with CAT. All still running really well. CAT had zero recommendations and said don't change...
Yeah, I’ll get all the detail data, get everything back on the boat and load her to the gills. I’ll run it for the season keeping good notes. Then...
Forgot to mention- CAT guys say they are very happy thus far
Early trials info. This is from texts from the electrician. They are still out running so this is all I have so far: WOT - 2360 rpm and 34 knots...
Wood floor in both heads and galley only. Salon is carpet. I thought about wood for the salon but decided against. I need the warmth of carpet and...
Unfortunately, not that simple. First of all, just getting to the tanks can be an issue. The tank lids are likely underwater or not safely...
This type of puller should be a good option. You do run the risk of pulling the threads in your holes on the prop but if they apply enough heat...
Thanks PB. I struggled with the selection. I kept being drawn to darker colors that would likely look more expensive. But I just couldn't put a...
This is not something to take lightly. I had a friend who nearly died from this. In fact, by the time they got him off the water and to the...
