The A5's are massive and a lot heavier to lug around. Way overkill for your size boat.
I run a lot of yachts where it's necessary to run one in gear (due to speed), usually the steering is exactly one turn in the opposite direction....
The boat in the channel has right of way over a boat crossing the channel (drifting recreational fisherman).
Then you need to change the governor first and get the motor running right and making WOT rpm's.
The latest Vkool is very good too for a clear window film...….but both will look blotchy with polarized sunglasses on in some places/angles.
Gold Coast Power was the dealer that were the very first to marinize 3412 cats. They've been around forever, but somehow Pantropic ended up with...
I renewed my license earlier this year and didn't have to re-test. I've never heard of having to re-test IF you have the seatime. Is it possible...
Yeah, factory size minus 2" pitch is what I've found with my experience with Ocean's and the age of the boat.
I've found it to change a little...…..On the last trip I had to adjust it as it climbed 75 psi, from one day to the next. Most of the watermakers...
I've used a lot of the different watermakers. The HRO sea recovery ones are nice, they have a remote start/stop panel that's nice and like those....
You have two situations here and 2 right of way questions.
I recommend that he goes to a propeller shop with his numbers (rpm/speed/weight/diameter/pitch/gear reduction) and have them plug it into their...
Generally on a 2300 rpm diesel inboard, I've always seen 1" of pitch gets you 50-75 rpms. It also depends greatly on the reduction ratio as to...
I do every 2 years or 300-500 hours on the engine impellors...…..Depends on what size they are. One generators, I do every year or 200 hours.
Polyform's are better than the Taylors. Taylors have a needle to fill and a bear to deflate. Go with Polyform A4's, they only have 1 fill, but...
The problem from North of Ft. Pierce to New Smyrna is there isn't an inlet worth a sh@t. Vero is a LONG ways to an inlet.
On a diesel 1" of pitch generally gets you 50 rpms. Gas inboards 1" gets you 200 rpms. A lot of boats need to be re-pitched as they get older....
Whatever the prop size is, deduct 2" of pitch. Every Ocean I've ever dealt with needed the props cut after being 5 years old or older.
If it was me, I'd live in Jupiter. Lots of terrific local unique restaurants. The water has a nice clear blue/green color, the lighthouse and...
On a used boat it doesn't apply as far as I know, and WHO would ever check? Also if they meet the Euro Tier specs, they should meet the U.S....
