I'm aboard a 68' Hargrave built by Burger. The stabilizers are important. Their function on any vessel is critical to comfort and safety in...
Yes, I'd be tempted by a Striker 70 if I one day want to return to the world of SF. In fact, it would likely be at the top of my list.
Absolutely. Aluminum hulls are built with 5052 or 6061 aluminum alloy, are typically a 6-7mm skin, and the metal is primed and sealed on both...
Yeah, that current there can be treacherous, and the dock hands are often quite green. But I love that stop...
Well, with Derecktor ramping up their game big time in Ft Pierce, maybe they can tap that talent to add to their new facility? Ft Pierce is ripe...
Pre-heat glow plug type concept. We had them on the old Cats and Onans.
You'd want a smoke, fume and fire plate on the ER side of such a duct lest anyone get the idea of just running a duct to their ER via a Y duct...
You may find them bolted with small fender washers. Consider reinstalling with a large backing plate spanning the two bolts, one big...
I was out that day, having left Lake Worth inlet at the time USCG was making the calls on the VHF. Was NOT a day to be out there in anything,...
Or a come along or ratchet winch supported overhead from structure, either permanent structure or temp. Have a fab shop build a stainless pan,...
If your cleats are up on the cap, there is no core as far as I know. That's solid glass. Best is to create the access you need to get to the...
Same thought process has had me spinning over adding a small first stage unit that is somewhat sacrificial. I've spoken with a company building...
Twice? You're lucky. I have a bucket full of the wrong sizes of most everything two or three times. But, yes, don't second guess yourself or...
Holy smokes, by all means be on DC auto pilot pump control. Dad always told me, damn the toilet and AC. Take care of the ice maker and the auto...
Agreed. My controls for the two units are staggered, so the second only gets called when the load is heavy. The modern screw compressors also...
While I agree, if failure is happening at the pilot pump, you'll note some issues in the helm pump rebuild. I think it's an overall good...
Nor a stainless raw water pump. I don't understand the potential stainless market Groco sees for that strainer, but I wouldn't do it.
I think Tango checked all of the boxes.
Sounds to me like his whine is intermittent, meaning its not originating from the helm pump or the engine pump, not unless it's constant bypass...
Yes, with pressure low and perhaps compromised fluid or filter, there is a good chance of air being introduced. You might feel what seems like...
