Don't plan on a schedule. It can get ugly enough north of Conception to keep you hunkered down in Santa Barbara or Cojo anchorage. Check with the...
The important aspect of adding it through the deck fitting is that none of it collects in low spots in the hoses and is wasted. The effective...
No! The loads caused by inertia can be much greater than the weight of the dingy alone. Not only should the anchorage points be through-bolted,;...
Good point about location. I'm surprised at the difficulties the OP is having in just selecting a yard in the home of Cheoy Lee. The availability...
If there's a soft wall hose on the bypass port, and he pulls the hose off, then the bypass port is free-flowing. That leaves the hose that may or...
Maybe I wasn't clear. Pull the hose from the diverter and plug it to keep brine from flowing back. If the diverter valve is flowing product water...
75 gph is the hourly output for an 1800 gpd unit. Hopefully, the $10,ooo would have had the membranes tested, although the output indicates...
The color coded legend on a Racor vacuum gauge pretty much tells you what you should expect in terms of normal operation: [IMG] Here are more...
the following pic shows you the scale better, but why do you think the position at rest should be relevant? I mean, I understand that the static...
I would check the zincs monthly, to start. On a set of 3406's I took care of, the lower heat exchanger zinc was completely gone to a nub in 30...
Can't quite read the scale, but is that a dual range gauge with vacuum and pressure? If it is intended to read vacuum, the reading at almost any...
Sounds like the correct diagnosis to me, except the part of it being fixed. I would disconnect the cables at the batteries, and then dismantle and...
It could be ugly. At that stage of operations, all of the sea lashings have been removed, and the hull stands are still welded to the deck. Yachts...
Is the boat gasoline or diesel? I researched this a bit some years ago after becoming concerned about the deaths from kids in the water due to...
That's essentially like the set-up used in the video, so yes. Make sure there's plenty of heat arranged for it. Also, some way to keep the prop...
Virtually all vessels have it to a greater or lesser degree, and sportfishers are often worse because of the large bluff aft facing surfaces of...
I took the tour of engineering spaces on Super Servant 3 on a voyage from Nanaimo to Lauderdale. I was surprised to learn that the ballast spaces...
My thought was along the lines of a corroded hardware related fault. It's just a wild guess, anyway, since fire flaps are very rare, from my...
Did these boats come with fire suppression doors on the intakes? If so, it could be one dropped shut, or something along those lines. Odd that...
I ran a 68' Chris aluminum Roamer. The only areas that never blistered were where there was plenty of filler. We had a complete paint and many...
