Good to hear you have a good outcome. If I remember correctly, there is a way to calibrate the head.....you run it with a full tank, then fuel...
You'd think there would be a lot closer shipyard to break that ship than dragging it all of the way to Texas. Norfolk has a place that could...
I will say this again. I don't think it's where the weight is in the engine room. I think the problem is your balance fore and aft from what...
How is it easier to wash the Imron over Awlgrip? Does debris not stick to it as well or is it more critical to chamois the Awlgrip, or?
I would get a recording level and see how many degrees it measures in it's present state. Then, After looking at your initial post, the easiest...
Do you wash the Awlgrip with Awlwash soap and have never waxed it?
Do something else. Take as much weight out of the E.R. as possible (spare oil, etc etc....) and move it to the lowest bilge or area in the...
I still think that if you email the current day Feadship with the plans and drawings as well as what you've written here, they would be very...
I would say that a proper coolant overflow bottle that is properly mounted would be the best choice.
I would talk to Veem on the prop burn first as they should warranty it and come up with a fix for the prop burn. Usually the Veem equipped Cabo's...

I agree. Personally, I think the greatest amount of weight savings can be had on the interior, and non structural components of a yacht. The...
Cold molded and fiberglass is very strong and quiet. Cold molded and kevlar or carbon fiber is not quiet and it sounds like the whole boat is...
Have you ever been on a carbon fiber yacht? I've been on a cold molded sportfish encapsulated in kevlar. It is extremely NOISY. I've heard...
Here are my thoughts and I am not a naval architect. If the waterline is the same at the stern but 4" high at the bow. I would move the entire...
That mindset has changed over the last 5-10 years. The old mindset is that you cannot mix conventional and synthetic and once switched to...
I do prefer the 71 series. But pre 1987 and you're dealing with a 32 volt yacht instead of a 24 volt, so something to consider as well.
My opinions pretty much follow Olderboater's. I think if they can come up with big pods so that 60-100' yachts can use them in a twin engine...
Not all Zues have through hull exhaust (above the waterline), it was an option that the builder chose to install or not install. Most IPS exhaust...
