The vast majority of vessels with sea chests employ electrolytic anti fouling systems in the sea chests to keep them free from hard growths such...
Neon gas only needs voltage to ignite under vacuum. You can hold a bulb next or near to a high voltage transformer and it will ignite in your...
Well, my scientific wild ass guess (SWAG) was way off. You sir are correct in the statement of a resistor being present. I had to break out the...
Better detail in this photo. Pretty confident that this is an alarming fuse. That would be a switching diode with what looks to be a neon tube...
Looks to be a low voltage control medium lag or alarming fuse. Photos kind of fuzzy but that's my SWAG on this.
There are a few other Broward's out there with classification societies "new build" certificates and one that comes to mind is the vessel "Serque"...
This vessel had a crazy history well before its incarnation of "Just Enough". The vessel in question started life as hull #222 @120 ft. & 22 ft...
The turbos and injector pump amongst other items would have been serviced @ the 2,000 hr. or W-2 interval and should reflect the same in your records.
Auto pilot control
Very common on aluminum and steel vessels. Referred to as a WEP, (welded equipment penetration) Painting and fairing of the replaced WEP /...
I understand your position on proper maintenance and would venture to say were not talking apples to apples here. Oil and filter changes are...
With MTU service intervals completed it will mean the difference between a sale or no sale for a yacht. Many a large yacht have lingered for years...
MTU major service intervals are W-2, W-4, W-6 / 2,000-4,000 & 6,000 hrs. 2,000 hrs. are injectors, pumps. coolers and turbo service. 4,000 hrs is...
Millions of $$$ poured into this hull the last few decades in hull and house extensions. Massive million $$+ interior refits and the likes but you...
See post #1, He wants to connect his new plotters and use the Nav function. I'm getting old, Grey and senile, I had to look up just what a EVC...
If I'm interpreting this thread correctly it would be nice when the AP and plotters work together to compensate and display set & drift and cross...
Apex Stuart has an excellent reputation and gets high marks for the work performed there as well as the Pompano Bch. location so there must be...
I'm no hydrodynamicist by any means but it would make sense the more trailing edge wet surface area involved (i.e. keel) with the interceptor...
YIKES!! I take back the 5 meter rule. Seriously dead coating there. maybe a little of that miracle Awl Grip wash & wax will bring her back.
Definitely a clear coat issue as you can tell from the transom cheeks in the multiple spot areas back there and the large area midships port side....
