I guess... but you'll have to source electricity, so it's not like a perfectly simple swap. Even though I'm not a big fan, at least the VF system...
I think were it me I might keep shopping, but... The 8.3s at least might be rebuildable in place, should that ever become necessary, assuming...
Sea cocks, yes. And I'd guess they'll actually work, with a bit more ooomph! applied. But most of the rest seems to me to be stuff I'd want to...
Don't know anything useful, but I'm interested to see what you learn because our most recent WOT test showed some similar results, starboard...
Interesting... -Chris
Cruise control? Were it me... I'd be planning to use the existing electronics for as long as I could stand it... augmented by a tablet app or...
If that reading was with the charger on... turn it off, let the batteries rest for maybe at least 4-6 hours, check voltage with the charger still...
If the parallel switch is always on, on when you checked port batteries... you may have been getting a reading from the combined banks instead of...
Batteries? If you find it safe to turn over... Check battery voltage? If you have a parallel switch, check with that too? Load test battery?...
FWIW... with practice, I've eventually gotten to the point where I can anticipate gear engagement, and I can (usually) even move the control out...
We had manually-controlled trolling valves on our previous boat with ZF gears. We trolled a lot at idle RPM and between 2.5-3 kts, no issues over...
Think I've lost track of what boat is which... But at least it sounds like good progress. -Chris
We use Aquamap Marine -- on Android devices, but they also do an iThing version -- as one of our several backups. We use this one specifically...
FWIW, after an oil change our manual (V8 engine) says to run the engine "for a few minutes at low speed," shut down the engine, wait "about 20...
I need to fashion some kind of solution like that, too. The starboard filters are easy to manage, with just a 5-gal bucket immediately underneath...
And it turns out TAP TAP TAP worked like a champ. -Chris
Thanks. I didn't mean MAN recommendation, just meant their "approval" for a given standard. 3277 in our case. Despite the "2022" filename I...
Well, turns out I did find a 17mm socket for a 1/2" drive... but it's a 12-point so not great. Had to make a trip to bring the oil over, and...
Yeah, working on filters today. And sure enough I can't budge the drain plugs yet. Turns out I see I don't have a 17mm socket for the 1/2"...
I can imagine. I just started an engine oil change, which will end up spanning several days. Yesterday was the "heat the engines (boat ride),...
