I would increase the fuel burn average. an 80' Hatteras MY will burn 140 gph at cruise. But you can run it at 10-12 knots at 25-40gph and offset...
Have you tried calling the Detroit dealer? I'm sure they could work on it. It sounds to me like you have broken rings on 1 cylinder. That would...
I wouldn't say that. I've run several Sunseekers. They all have rode great. I ran a new 73' Manhattan a year ago into 5-6' head seas and...
Gardeners aren't too terribly complicated, so any good diesel mechanic should be able to work on them.
I know of people in Fort Lauderdale that can do all that for you for a reasonable price. Georgia I don't know.
Why do you not want to run for too long above 1800??? Your engines were designed to run 1900 rpms at cruise all day long and it's good for them...
Which also builds low quality yachts.
It could be simply leaking from the oil drain hose on the turbo. Not enough info to really diagnose.
I agree with the above sentiments, but figure a boat should be 10% or less, 5% would be more comfortable. Those same figures should be how much...
low quality = low price.
Displacement hulls don't need a lot of power to move them. The 76' Northern Marine I ran had a single 600hp Cummins and it had plenty of power.
They were about 16 miles offshore of Ft. Pierce, FL. Not sure where the helicopter was based out of..... But I'm guessing it would take 15-30...
I took a 75' Hatteras MY through the Erie Canal. The only marina we fit into was in Troy, NY. We anchored the other times. There was plenty of...
It depends on the boat, but I'm pretty sure Sacayra IV was built so it can do the Erie canal.
A friend of mine went fishing on his buddy's brand new 26' Pursuit about a year ago and they were around 20 NM out. Nice calm day. All of a...
Because it's 1/3 of the price to rebuild a detroit instead of repowering and many times they're just rebuilding one and not both. Also, you don't...
What they said. Both ZUES and IPS need to be mounted verticle to the waterline, they cannot be mounted at an angle on the V. They also need a...
Yes, if you're over 20'6" you have to take this way or longer than the Erie Canal will handle, it adds a lot of miles to an already long trip.
The a/c pump a lot of times doesn't produce enough pressure to open them. Or if it does they restrict flow, so you usually avoid them on an a/c pump.
Typically Welland Canal to Oswego NY, take the erie Canal to Troy, NY then down the Hudson river to NYC, then east coast down to Coral Gables.
