I agree I need to either replace the plate or fill the holes. But in the interim, what about just connecting the bus bar over that ground plate...
[ATTACH] transom zinc
Yes this is a new boat to me - last October. The missing plate was noted in the survey at the time I bought it, which was why I flagged it for the...
I don’t think this is a zinc. I have hull zincs on the transom as well as shaft zincs. The zincs tend to be mounted with an external nut that...
Seems like opinions are all over the place on these grounding plates and I’m trying to figure out what to do. here’s my situation: last...
good data point, thanks. $20k for a 1/2 knot doesn’t sound super compelling
Meant to ask you about that - didn’t totally follow your before/after situation. Do you think you got benefit from the 5 blade veems in particular?
Yeah that was me - I’m using Will Hild for the MANs and am in touch with Robert at miller’s island about the props. One option is to go with a...
Ok cool. That’s super helpful. Thank you
actually did this a few days ago. Waiting to hear back. There’s an old power and motoryacht article floating around talking about propping this...
yeah I suspect you are right - there is documentation of at least 2 of the 4 turbos being replaced in the last several years but my man guy...
Good input all. This was the way I was leaning but it’s good to talk it through. I only got to run the boat a few trips before I had to put her on...
So in my case I’m currently 1” diameter below factory spec, and the pitch is the same as spec’d. I have no idea why the PO did this, or if it was...
My new to me 1998 58 Viking is currently propped with 30x46x4 wheels the motors are 1200hp Mans, 2:1 zf gears The PO reported the original...
Not sure you how old you are willing to go or what your budget is. I recently sold an 80’s Bertram 38 that had been refit and repowered with...
Circling back - I ended up with a late 90’s 58 Viking enclosed bridge. Bigger than I wanted and a punch list that is still growing instead of...
I plan to use Hild’s. Will did my engine survey and is super knowledgeable and a straight up good guy. Not cheap, but neither is anyone else...
The engines are the 1200hp v12’s. AKA black hole that you pour diesel into. :-) Engine room is palatial, at least for a sportfish, and certainly...
Thanks for this fantastic perspective - and TBH I wasn’t really considering venturing out in 6-8’s for 5 hours. Forecast has steadily been getting...
Great question! Most of the pics i have right now are from the survey and stuff i wanted to follow up on, but here's a good glamour shot: [ATTACH]
