Had a damper actuator fail a couple of weeks ago so since we were about to do the annual fire inspection I called the company I use (a well known...
Different on a classic car... you go to a show you open the hood... on a boat nobody but the crew and mechanic see the ER.
As much as I like a nice looking and clean ER, I can help wondering why would anyone want chrome accents down there. the C32s on the boat i run...
Yes, there were additional costs because we had the original style. The water pipes had to be replaced and I believe the housing. In the process...
Whatever
it was a little over 30k just for the aftercoolers. Then PanTropic (soFL cat dealer) ripped us of charging $4k for an oil change. Flat fee they...
i think it is a human reaction to believe you can regain control where as if you shut down the engines you become a passenger. I also think it...
i Dont understand this obsession with the horn. Yes it should be sounded but most captains only have two hands.... juggling engine controls,...
Nobody know how they will react in that situation. It s one thing to have the engines or gears not responding but when they respond in a...
Cables usually give you some warning before failure, of course you need to “know” the boat to feel the difference. A little stiff, a little...
The triton has an article on this accident incl an interview with the captain. The pods not only failed to respond but were acting erratically...

And when that fails? All your banks are compromised. About 10 years ago I woke up one morning on charter to a dead boat (Johnson 70) while on...
I have the same issue with the ER mounted gauges on a pair of C32s. Gauges are unusable. At about $100 a pieces what a waste of money. No lights...
My boat used to be 32v (engines and house) with the genset 12v when i repowered, I wanted everything 24v but for some reasons Cummins charged...
You could split the bank and use one of the G31 for the Gen and the rest for house. House should be deep cycle anyway. The genset alternator will...
In my opinion this is a lousy set up... the generator battery should be used for the generator only. Some 24v boats uses the gen battery to run a...
The biggest issue will be the hurricane season. In case of a warning it s a lot easier to get to florida and move the boat. if you leave it in...
The C32 is an evolution of the 3412... I loved these 3412Es... bulletproof
I m not sure I see the point. Fuel Flow on a genny doesn’t vary much and can pretty much be guesstimated fairly accurately. That s how I do it and...
