I have had more than a few close calls in all of my years on the water. Not from crashes or impact, but serious taking on water situations that...
That's not true, you're forgetting 1 thing. I have had several owners not want to go above 55-60' because of the WEIGHT of all of those things....
Check your charger. I replaced a lot of those Newmar chargers that Cabo used. I recently had one go bad on the sunseeker. It was letting 68...
On most engines (not electronic diesels) they will never get to operating temperature while tied to the dock. When the water temp gets to...
I did the entire Great Loop on a 75' Hatteras MY in 2008. You would've thought that was a megayacht on that trip. I ended up staying in a marina...
I would find someone in the marina you could pay to turn the shorepower on for a while and then off a few times a week. That would be your...
How far do you think 1200 gallons gets you? Do you consider 300 miles long distance cruising?
I agree with Olderboater, BUT I'd recommend buying something a lot smaller for now. A 55-60' trawler is a heck of a lot to learn in maintanence,...
Both Location and Itinerary. Mostly Draft. Once you get over 150' your choices in many places becomes very slim.
Here in the US we leave the shorepower on all of the time. Then again most of our boats don't have Eurotrash electrical panels/breakers/and...
I had a boat docked at Crowne Bay Marina. It is extremely dirty from the powerplant right around the corner. Yacht Haven Grande if you can swing...
There was a combination of several errors that allowed this boat to sink. Not having someone staring down the engine room door the entire time...
That's going to be real hard to find for that price, unless you make your own system. One idea is to put a union on your a/c raw water manifold...
I'm going to agree with wzrdl. That area is a lot more structural support to the davit than everyone thinks. I wouldn't just pack it with mud....
Speaking of which. Going up the Hudson River from NYC to Troy, NY, then across the Erie Canal and up to Oswego is beautiful also and one of my...
I'm not sure without physically looking at it. I thought the garbage disposal was directly underneath the sink and you could get it out without...
The garbage disposal will not come out without removing the cabinet????
It could have a blockage somewhere. It could be on the raw water side. It could be fine, you need to run it at cruise rpms under load and see...
The smaller cable goes to the 12volt positive bus bar for all of your electronics. The busbar is usually behind your breaker panel.
I rode on that boat, there is NOTHING Yacht about it. It's a ferry boat, with seating throughout and commercial all of the way.
