You're doing the wrong kind of captaining. Mine die an early death from salt spray! I do all of my charting and planning from paper charts....
I also like the Simrad autopilots. The furuno autopilot would be my second choice.......
I agree with both statements, but the equation you're failing to realise is that it takes VERY little HP to move a 50' Bertram at hull speed. For...
At 1000 rpms the 550hp motor is producing slightly less HP than the 730 hp motor. BUT, not proportionately less because both engines aren't...
I agree in many builders.
What's the logic in this? The entire boat is 20 years old, would you not go out to sea on it? I've taken yachts 200 miles offshore that were...
I had a good yard do it, they simply put them between the trim tab and the actuator......the tab stays down about an inch in the full up...
You are correct, but the point you're missing is that at low speeds such as 1000 rpm's and under, the engine with the smaller injectors will move...
It's 20'2 to Oswego. If you go due West on the Erie canal directly into Lake Erie it saves a lot of miles but I think is either 16' or 16'5....
This is simply not true. When you detune the engine, you need to re-prop the boat with less pitch so the engines still see their 2300 rpm redline...
It seems like it would be easier to just fly them to their destination. Any idea on where they're going or who owns them?
Yes, it's time......put new ones and .Save the old ones......
Well, you also don't want the vents foward because you could force so much air into the engine room, causing engine room gases to go into the...
I think they're starting to get greedy in the name of racing and building them lighter and lighter.......at the expense of strength......
A straight delivery, you could do it in 2 weeks, maybe less........I did Bear, DE to Toledo, OH in 8 days.......in a 58' Searay SB
I have had blocks made of starboard and put between the actuator and the trim tab that gave it about 1 1/2" more of downward angle on 2 boats that...
I wonder how much the owner is paying for this ordeal......somehow I cannot think of any way that this reality tv show could bring a good light to...
probably not.....
I wouldn't know. I agree with the cookie jar comment, but that usually goes on only for so long.
Do not turn the engine room vents around on the side of the hull, in rough seas it could and probably would flood the engine room. You can...
