I think the sensors have a wheel that spins in there and if algae gets on 1 or all of the blades it messes it up. How does it read when you're...
No different than a 100' Motoryacht with walkways.....just need maybe 3 mates to run the lines.......just think of the spread you could get going...
Is it overflowing out of the recovery tank after that? If it is, it sounds like you have some combustion gasses getting into the coolant...
Part of the problem, at least with the Lauderdale show, is that the prices to put a boat in the show are so high. For a yacht brokerage firm to...
Is the coolant only filling the recovery bottle or is the coolant overflowing out of the recovery bottle? When cold, the expansion tank should be...
Yeah, change the filters on the floscan, it should have an inline filter or at least the ones I've played with have. You also have to take the...
The last few Marlena's have been Jim Smiths. The current 105' Jim Smith is Marlena and the previous 95' Marlena was also a Jim Smith. Trinity...
The only minimum controlling depth of 6' is the Dismal Swamp Canal route in NC-VA. Nobody takes that with a draft of any size. The rest of the...
You can shutdown your AIS in less than a minute by simply going into the menu on the radar or shutting off power to the AIS box....either or....
Actually Jim Smith Holds the record with the largest custom cold molded SF ever launched with Marlena coming in at 105'. But Logo's marine a...
It depends how they do it. The internet is good for narrowing down the list to a couple of boats. But then those must be seen in person. At the...
It's pretty cool to see it in a video like that. It's a very common thing to do that to older ships and not the first nor last time one was...
In a following sea you do not want to use trim tabs........it can cause you to pitch pole.......but in a head or beam sea the boat will usually...
I prefer CATS as well. CATS are cheaper to maintain than MTU's from what I have seen. I have seen a lot of failures on MTU's of...
All of the time at planing speeds......you will usually gain 2-3 knots of speed.......get to cruise and start putting them down in 1 second button...
The real question is......at what size does a SF lose all of it's fishability. I was a mate on a 75' Jim Smith SF, long ago and far away......I...
I have yet to see a 557 on the water being used....anywhere.....
I wouldn't want to go out in a Hurricane in a Navy Destroyer.....let alone a rotted wooden tall ship.....based on a centuries old design......
Yeah, except at MLW you're supposed to have 12' in the channel in the ICW......At MLW you'd have 5' of total depth maybe......the ICW is getting...
Let's see. 1. The ship was a rotton POS that needed a lot of hull maintanence 2. The fuel tanks had a lot of algae in them. 3. The engineer...
