Any boat test that you will find with the same HP 3196's, should net roughly the same fuel burn figures per each RPM level. Then just compare...
The best thing to do is not let them get corroded. If they're only slightly corroded, I use Collinite insulator wax. You basically rub it on...
I am pretty sure that the marine authorities can search a vessel that is docked if there is a fuel spill issue in the area or sewage in the water...
You're definately going to want a reduction. I would guess around 2:1, but speaking with a good propeller shop and engine shops would get you the...
I agree, but try explaining that to a French Canadian who thinks the more you use things, the more they break (hence the a/cs)
As long as your vessel has it's yearly vessel registration, you shouldn't have a problem. I know here in Florida, even if a vessel is documented,...
I have it happening on a boat where the woodwork can never see sunlight. There are no windows or anything in the entire room. The boat sits...
The insurance company is most likely going to want a Captain with a 100 ton USCG master license (or 200 ton MCA), and a good resume, or the...

I have seen a lot of issues with Michigan/Federal wheels on 30+ knot SF's. Some companies have switched to Veems and the problem with prop burn...
Actually, the vessels insurance would be liable and should have crew coverage on the policy that you should fall under as you were crew (even if...
The short answer is NO. AND, I doubt the Captains mentioned were out in 20' seas running at cruise, for one your body would not be able to take...
I'm glad to hear that things are looking up for you. I hope that the antibiotics will knock it out. Do the doctors have any idea how you got the...
Glasstek in Miami is located minutes away from the Bertram factory and does a lot of reproduction older bertram fiberglass, like the entire...
Have we all forgotten how that other 63' Bertram came apart while fishing a fishing tournament off of Palm Beach a year or so ago, and that was...
i just went through a rebuild on a 12v71, not once but twice......the only injectors that could be found by two dealers in different sections of...
