The OP stated that they are for an inverter bank and all of them were added to support a new inverter bank and didn't exist before.
I'm no naval architect but will also mention that displacement hulls have a certain amount of water they are supposed to displace. And a certain...
It's real simple, after it is refit in the US have a well known and accredited marine surveyor come out and assess the boat a real world value in...
These are anchoring instructions from the Lewmar website: To drop anchor: 1. Release any anchor locks 2. Hold down on the integrated rocker switch...
You're wrong. There is no clutch to let the chain free fall. The Capstan is generally not used for docking. It is used to anchor rode.....you...
No, you have a very good habit as many boats sink because of something breaking at the dock while they're sitting un-attended. I would hang a...
On smaller boats, like the OP's 62' Sportfish, Windlasses do not have a brake like they do on large yachts. The Lewmar, Ideal, Maxwell and others...
It would indicate a vibration issue and/or an alignment issue. You used to see that on some late model Bertrams, several re-aligns on the motors,...
Uhhhhh, no, but dropping the anchor quickly might be important if you've lost all of your engines because the Halon system went off and shut...

I have no experience with the new Intellian. However, I ran a boat with the HD7 and it was flawless and worked really good. Even 50 miles...
The color.....uuuuuhhhhhhh
I've never heard of them and have been in business a long time in Fort Lauderdale. That's not to say they're not good. Cable Marine in Fort...
Every windlass I've used has been about 1' of retrieval every 2-3 seconds. Some of the others, the drum spins faster, but the drum is also...
I agree, Neptunus is a well built boat and they handle well also. The 55' Cabrio's I have run 1000's of miles on and they are a good riding...
Yes, they are standard paper filters that you see on a lot of engines (non washable) and it's basically a metal cage that keeps the filter pleats...
I can on an ABS/ICE classed expedition yacht. That boat was built to a standard way above normal yachts. Think of something like Bart Roberts....
Nope. It's just when you look at boats in that class, both new ones and 20 year old ones, the Searay's fare pretty darn well. The Carvers always...
That's about the general speed of an ideal, and a larger windlass. If it was too fast and the chain bound up, you'd start tearing up all kinds of...
