I would have to hire someone to check my oil. No way my big azz gets through that hole! :):)
Doubt you would see much gain. Maybe a smidge if you run stern heavy and already using full trim tabs. You get a bit of added stern lift from 5...
25’ + tidal range in my part of the world. If you don’t have a floating marina/dock that first step might be a doozy :):)
I put one of those thru-hull ducers in my 14' RIB I carry on the bow and it has been a PITA. It has to sit with liquid between it and the hull and...
Have you checked your vent hoses? That fuel had to come from somewhere. If not a bad vent hose, is it possible the hose came off where it clamps...
With side exhaust you also have to be mindful where your fenders hang. You don’t want to get a fender in way of the exhaust when you are tied to...
we gained like 6-8 inches in front of the engines and access to outboard sides is much easier given the narrower in line 6 vs V configuration
Access will vary greatly depending on boat type. My previous boat was a 39' and my current is 54'. Both are sportfish models and honestly, access...
Great videos, thanks for posting. Seems like I've seen this somewhere recently but on a smaller scale :):) Interesting that they did not post or...
I did not install a vented loop. In fact, I removed the old siphon breaks which greatly reduced my hose length. I'm routed directly from the heads...
Separately, I got rid of my two vacu-flush heads and replaced with the Raritan macerator units. Happy to help if I can. It’s a pretty...
Thanks for your questions. Hopefully you get some good info here. Can you provide some more details about your boating experience? You mentioned...
I have same set up but w/o inverter. I have one of the units that has the pump mounted on top of the pressure tank. I believe the pressure tank...
You mean a drain plug like what you would see on a boat that goes on a trailer? You won't find one. To remove the water you will need to pump it...
yes- unfortunately
You need a nice spare set of 12v92’s just in case or to have for parts. I know where you can get them :):););)
I prefer course up. And I like radar overlay. If I’m in heavy fog or conditions where radar is really being used, I like to put plotter only on...
Back on topic. For coastal cruising/fishing in the PNW my Riv has met my needs. So at its price point I find the build quality acceptable. I've...
1136 hp is currently the max offered in the C18 and is an E rated. I'm not 100% certain but I believe the 1136 has lower compression and higher...
Your points are all valid and exactly what I was trying to convey. I'm not knocking Riviera. If they meet your needs in your price point then...
