When you use COB LED bulbs in light fixtures, the 24 volt variety doesn't dim well. The chips in LED tape for toe kicks, etc dim just fine. I'm...
I've read forums where the ash content was shown as the underlying component of a trend towards better longevity of the Chevron Delo 100. I know...
Yes, all of this. Truck mechanics tell me that the lower levels of ash content in the Chevron Delo 100 is the difference maker. I took their...

Chevron Delo 100. Rotella, a terrific oil, will see the consumption increase. Stick with Chevron Delo 100 for these old DD71's.
Pascal, my refit was predicated on removal followed by replacement. Install a new <bilge pump>, run new properly colored wiring, then remove the...
[ATTACH] Amongst all of the Megayacht flash, sitting in their midst at mooring, 91 feet of Sophie. Just takes my breath away every time I look over.
Also note that even with the 36 volt setup you can create a 24 volt takeoff for house systems if you need to pull your house from engine...
The 32 volt starters love the voltage, which sits between 39 and 40.5 volts. That extra voltage foes away immediately under load as the cells...
What would you like to know? I've been on Burgers since the 70's, with a Hatteras in between. Great boats. Gotta get your head around the metal...
[ATTACH] I've just completed (does it ever end?) a refit that spanned 3 years on a Burger Hargrave 68. I couldn't have picked a better boat.
The boats are incredibly well built. Great bones, classic lines, and apparently an easy retrofit when you buy an older gal...
Also, before you consider a new boat, try to find one of their older ones to go aboard first...well made boats last generations, and that shows...
Not for nothing, but when considering a buy on a boat that can only be boarded from the stern, don't just consider the two or three places you go...
Split away to 24v, but left the engines on 32. Set them up with 36 volts, and they love the power. Next step will be to shed a 12 and turn the...
And that's good pressure for the 12's. Also watch for oil consumption. They eat when they aren't leaking.
Replaced all gauges and senders, Murphy switches at engines and lower helm. These buckets of steel will always scare the hell out of you with oil...
