HTM09- is right on the money when you factor mold costs in. Molds are expensive, and one builder told me it took them about 6 finished boats to...
The addage is that you're turning the motor over at 200rpms or so with the starter without the engine firing, that circulates some oil through the...
They've been making pleasure craft out of steel since at least the 1940's and such. Long before fiberglass. Wood was much more popular back...
How often does a 100'+ MY cruise at anything more than 10-12 knots. In all my travels, and I've spent 90 days in the Bahamas travelling around in...
Anything is possible. I have not heard of problems with those valves. The hatteras I've run have had a manual valve to switch between the 3...
But you're not dealing with an undervoltage situation. You're dealing with a current flow situation. When you hit more than 30 amps, the breaker...
