I do many hours of slow speed (2.0 -2.5 knots) trolling with only one engine running. Even at slow speed, I get drag rotation on the non-running...
I had a Muir on my previous boat. If memory serves it was the Cheetah model. A horizontal unit with a rope/chain wheel. I was unable to ever get...
Looks like she’s starting to come together. I hope you have as good of luck with your Maxwell windlass as I have. I do a lot of deep water...
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really appreciate all the great input and feedback I received. I hope I am giving back as much info as I am receiving....
All final values at or improved from what I reported already. With a little playing around I can pretty easily get to 28 knots cruise at 80% load,...
Got my complete survey and valuation done. Boat was rated "above average" overall which is one step under Bristol as the highest. Not a single...
The marina I'm at got rebuilt a few years back and installed all new power pedestals. There are lots of older boats and commercial fishing boats....
If it is just the ignition switch how would that explain "oil pressure went to 40 psi without the engine running" ???
From photo it looks like you could have mounted it lower. Is there a reason you did not? Are you happy with the performance? Big difference?...
Glad to hear this all came together for you and the results are what you were looking for. Sleep well!!
Thanks. I'll look into the Lorex. I don't need or really want it to interface with my Simrads so that's not an issue.
Looking for some feedback and recommendations for monitoring cameras and possibly alarms. I did a search for this and found minimal info. I posted...
I used a good A/F on mine. Worked pretty well but I don't have the same warm water growth you have. I'm also curious to see what others are doing.
Too funny. Doesn't sound like anything to lose sleep over. If your not changing anything you should be fine. If anything you might gain a smidge...
OK so you are keeping same diameter, pitch and number of blades. So the new props are simply to replace the old ones that have reached the end of...
It's amazing what some builder's do. My former boat, a Sea Ray 39' sportfish only had a bearing in the strut. The shaft coupled to the trans then...
Forgot to mention in my last; Make sure you get someone that knows how to do a proper and thorough blue fit of your new props to your old shafts....
Too bad the yard or whoever attempted first did not have this equipment, would have saved you a lot frustration and concern. This is pretty...
Obviously the key ways being twisted are a contributing factor. Further, as others suggested earlier in the thread I suspect you had an excessive...
Curious why you folks do not install macerator pumps on your fish boxes? I installed one and it works great. The only thing I found out the hard...
