I used to run a 70' seajet as well and also a few 68 plus'. The seajet is a very good sea boat. A bit wet in a sea, but had her in 8-10's off of...
With the breaker off, I think it backfeeds the freshwater system and with the pump shut off you can use it as dockwise water.
They would be my second choice (1st in most applications). But the OP has a 45' speedboat, so the higher revving Yanmars generally are a better...
Yeah well, you can get Yanmar parts and service everywhere and they have a high power to weight ratio and are high rpm motors which is a perfect...
Then call a mechanic that works on generators. The amount of time and money I see people throw at a problem on boats trying to fix something...
I'd just have someone from Lauderdale go there.....Florida Yacht Surveyors or Matt Jones are both very good and travel.
I'd go with Yanmar's in that application.
Most boats didn't have a galvanic isolator in 1988. They're easy to install and generally I install them right after where the shorepower comes...
The main thing you look at is what they look like when they're 10 years old. Searays look nearly new inside AND out if relatively taken care of....
The 2 companies are both owned by Brunswick.....they are not the same company and Meridian is definitely built to a lesser standard than searay....
Keep in mind Seakeeper does an excellent job at 10 knots or less or drifting/anchored. BUT when running fast they probably only offer a 20% roll...
200 hours in 30 years? That's even worse for it. The sticker with the spec number is usually on the top or side of the black electronics box with...
I wouldn't touch gas in that size range. Also the searay is much better quality and a much better sea boat than the Meridian.....
Very close to where the shorepower inlet is, usually.....
You're in NJ. Call a Kohler generator dealer out and have them fix it. How many hours are on this generator? If it's a 1988 it's 30 years old...
It's not that it is a challenge. Most owners don't want crew sleeping all over their boat, cooking in their new boat, to take delivery of a new...
Well, I would REALLY look at your usage.....they're two totally different types of boats. Unless you have weeks for a vacation and want to be...
I'm aware of that, but due to the large step up and whittling around a table, it's not a desired spot and a sea-state. Being next to the Captain...
While I don't know the exact answer to your question. I have seen Ocean Yachts have a stbd and port saddle tank in the engine room connected to a...
I'm sure the screens can be dimmed. Why have so much space on the sides and only a single helm seat. It would be VERY boring to sit there by...
