It would have to fold aft. Folding forward would drop the electronics on the helm.
I know I heard a report, "wake me at 20 knots", and the time line seemed to require a few extra minutes beyond 20 knots, to 30 knots, prior to...
I added substantial sound proofing to the walls and ceiling around the gens to leave them open for visibility access, killed a lot of sound...
I keep hearing discussion of the scuppers and air vents, but I can't get my eyes off of those two deck passages to recessed lounges fore and aft.
Here's my path...I used Cool-Fit at the chillers and throughout the ER. From there I transitioned to reinforced hoses and insulation. I...
Really good point. USCG could partner with, say, Sirius Weather or some other standard communication system where BOLO's can actually be...
Couldn't it also be caused by a bad seal in the sagging cylinder? Possible to cap the lines to that cylinder and retest the block? Perhaps you...
Redundancy, run two 24v alternators and a more durable 24 to 12 charger system. Less strain on the 24's charging 12's, more juice to the 24 for...
....could also run both mains with 24v alternators to support the house, and then easier to run a 24 to 12 DC battery charger to support the mains...
Wouldn't it make sense to consider having one main engine run a 24v alternator for house and the other a 12v alternator for engine batteries? I...
Problem is that you'll need a marine electrician to review and write his summary to be shared with the surveyor and obtain a corrected article....
Thank you, because this is where my interpretation was going...all that travels from boat to dock are the lines and the ground. Once aboard...
true. Or when you’re running with your props in the air.
Upsizing one pool is probably a good direction. But you may not need it. Test first. 200 for me might be overkill by some percentage. What you...
I did similar. Pulled pool into tightest position, marked it, dropped and added stainless angle shorts to two places to stabilize it. Really...
That 200 pool with 1/2” chain allows me to sleep very well at 68’/65 ton. It was a terrific upgrade for me.
What you’re seeing with large vessels using multiple anchors and lines is about both anchoring and maintaining a perspective of site lines for...
Agreed. We used several coats of gloss and developed depth of finish before topping with satin.
Need to run a sample finish on a scrap to verify color and shine desired. Make certain any product you use has UV inhibitors to help maintain...
Safe into port this morning in Mobile. Two days ahead of schedule. Apparently she's still quite fast.
