Well, if that is true. Why do all of the websites say that you can fully charge the batteries with a 240volt-50amp shorepower cord in 3...
You're not taking voltage into the equation and that they're converting DC power to 3 phase AC power for the motors. The electrical on this is a...
190F is too high according to WHO? The thermostat full opens at 187F according to Volvo's website. The temps are fine and where I would expect...
Something is wrong with your math. A 250volt/50amp shorepower connection will charge the batteries in 3 hours. An 8-10KW generator will put out...
True, but if you're running at 50 mph which would be 50% or less an 8kw generator would probably keep up with the electric demand. There are...
If that were the case for the owner, they'd have used the yachts proper name instead of a made up name. It's possible they chartered the boat for...
The Bed bug one was pure advertising for his company. Come on, who on earth would travel wearing that shirt. If they want a good show, they...
I have seen several of the new technology regarding diesel electric and etc. and figured I'd post about this since it hasn't been mentioned....
It depends on the boat. The stuff I've seen on some boats makes below deck look tame. Stuff I've seen. I saw a female chef get so drunk the...
Either the joystick control or the solenoid for it. I've had issues with their joystick and control pads.....especially in a wet location.
2100 looks to be cruise, they're 2300rpm engines according to the specs. I agree 190F at that engine speed seems pretty normal to me. The newer...
All of this is true except 1 point. Buying a used boat has a 50% chance of helping a boat builder out because it may be the only thing holding...
If you're intent on keeping 500 gallons a side, I'd try to split them into 300 gallon main, 200 gallon transfer and use a transfer pump to...
Coleslaw dressing in a bottle, or the Marzetti brand. It has a shelf life of over a year....you just pour it over fresh shredded cabbage and...
I haven't really seen any seakeeping issues with pods, but have heard about it briefly in very very extensive seas. You do not feel the pods on...
I highly doubt that any production builder sees a 45% profit margin on yachts. Think of the costs of warranty repairs and such. Not to mention...
Well, you can look up the 43' Grand Banks trawler as it is outfitted with a Zues package. You can definately go with less fuel if you're going...
:rolleyes: Why not just install the Zues system and pods if you preference is Cummins for the engines? I would prefer Cats with the ZF system...
I can't think of a book off of the top of my head but have seen several at my local west marine that are written by sailors for sailors. What...
Atlas has always been considered the gold standard.
