Give that leading edge with open wood grain facing the prevalent water flow off the deck some thought. Many shops lay in an alternate piece to...
Concur. I run 11 and burn 26. I could drop to 9.5 and cut the 26 down a third or perhaps more. Problem is the lack of load on the engines. Hence...
PM sent to you in case you close .

Speed issues? I think the problem is maneuvering the boat with the 12" props you'll be spinning on the 3/4" shafts. You can make the boat move...
Every single hose, hose clamp, valve, fitting....and you can't just look at them. Flex the hoses, torque the clamps and watch them react. There...
So, when I did this project on my sportfish, upon installation of the new rub rails, I backed them with a 316 SS flat stock, 1 1/4" perhaps 26...
Agreed, although several I know transitioned to diesel furnaces focused on keeping ER temps up, overall, and not using the block heaters.
I can understand your desire expressed here, but I'll toss out another consideration. Time spent aboard with a quality mechanic as opposed to a...

I had no issues at 36v during a short term transition from 32 to 24, a transition that saw the 32v banks fail before I was ready to fully shift to...
I get that you have to sleep. Certainly off shore has less interaction with traffic as opposed to inshore. The radio should absolutely be on....
Really? We have them on, and never are truly bothered by them. Again, we seem to have a difference with regard to sleeping though a watch. If...
Heck, I only do perhaps 3-4k NM per year, but no one is going to be asleep on a watch, day or night.
We use Minn Kota (or Blue Sea) inline breakers. Rated to the spec of the pump with a tolerance for distance. We refer to them as fuses as to not...
You don't have breakers on the panel for the pumps. Don't want them to be an easy mistake for shutdown. Place some dedicated inline breakers or...
I get the concept. On my boat in your hypothetical situation I'd simply trip the breakers at the battery switched dedicated to the pumps impacted...
Right on, Pascal. One of my best considerations was to install indicator lights at the helms that illuminate when the pumps run. Power is only...
The prop shop will sandblast them when you drop them off for repair. Sandblasting is fine if you're careful. Soda is safer.
