It s a G IV. Built 2000
Lousy design. Easier to to put check valves than design the bilges correctly. And from what I ve seen on a couple of them, there is often only...
Rwy used to be 3000’ but was extended to 4900 when they started building the marina and resort. you wouldn’t recognize the island. The marina...
For the wing section, took this pic at Norman’s Cay this afternoon. G4 landing. [ATTACH]
No idea why they failed, not worth opening them up
if the bilge is too small and the hose run too long, the amount of water flowing back into the bilge can cause the pump to cycle on and off...
And while you at it, don’t use Rule float switches… they re junk nowadays. Use Ultra Switches. More expensive but well worth it. That’s all I...
Only two bilge pumps on a 42? That’s insane. it is better to keep the compartments isolated if for no other reason than preventing ER water to...
Sent you a PM
I know…. Nothing seem to last anymore. Especially those damn SS braided hoses TNT uses! Had to replace two more with rubber hoses.
Yes I get that and from there it would push back in the hose. But to get into the reservoir it would have to go thru the valve block so there...
If there was an internal leak, the fluid from the up line would leak past a seal into the down line, right? Wouldn’t the valve at the pump...
I m no hydraulic expert but whoever I ve had a leak at a piston, it was pretty obvious. Especially above the water with a very obvious sheen...
Well I m guessing the pump design is fairly standard, it’s not like TNT makes them. I was hoping someone had disassembled one before
A bad seal in the cylinder who result in a leak outside the cylinder. It s not the case. The pressure in the cylinder is held at the pump.
The second stage of our TNT platform starts sagging on one side after a little while. No external leaks at any hose or fitting as a test, we...
Is that only for DSC calls or regular open transmissions.
Which model? Newish icom 510 doesn’t
It really amazes me how marine communications are still somehow stuck in the 20th century. with the level of technology and the ever...
Quick lift is out of business. In manual mode you have to start the pump manually by connecting the wires in the base of the davit and then you...
