Hell of a way to arrive at Capri, however...
Yet every other episode is entitled "we're sinking"?
Great that they found a project they could work on together....are they still together?
I’m old school. I don’t try to stretch the oil life. Regular oil changes are the cheapest bill to pay as compared to alternatives of premature...
It's a mixed bag, problems of old boats. Many of the problems are predictable and can be forecast into the schedule and budget, such as wiring...
Ahh, no, I meant my own experience. But I change the impellers on the mains frequently, and I stick with Jabsco on them. I swap the mains on...
Could be that the issue was always a bad pump from the factory, caused the "impeelers" to fail. Later the pump took a dump, too. Always just...
That's the experience Ive had with NL setups. I was going through more impellers than rum aboard.
Yes, I used the search and inputed the make of the generators and the part number for the sea water pump (provided by NL in their manual). Then I...
Took your advice and ordered four Globes. Next impeller change is in about 100 hours. Swap them out with two in reserve. Will let you know if...
Yes, my large pump for polish and transfer is an Oberdorfer with a bronze vein pump. I have tried to keep all pumps aboard with a shared model of...
I actually extended my manifold that serves the four engines and added two pumps to it. One pump can serve as a priming pump to push fuel to the...
I'm fourthing or fifthing Tim Bausch. He collaborated with me, captured the details, and we had a terrific outcome with a very large hardtop....
Good information. Thank you. Murphy, however, is a strange *******. When you keep the spares aboard, Murphy often chooses to bypass your boat...
My experience was that once I first cracked the handle open and pumped, I was doomed. Happened a few times, and then I replaced them yet again...
A decent concept to remember, when you think you have an issue with a sensor (and are safely at the dock), swap sensors between the two engines to...
I'm just not a believer in purposefully stretching oil hours in the generator. Damn things work much harder than the mains. I'm fine to run 24...
I learned very early with Cat C15’s to never use that mechanical pump as after every use it ALWAYS leaked air. A remote electric pump upstream was...
Id guess that it's been used for the Racors as well as to fill the secondaries, hence the quick disconnect for different applications. Fire it up...
Sensor feeds to one of the plugs on the ECM, and then the ECM has another plug that leads to the helm and display. Multiple opportunities for a...
