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),...
Aftercooler and heat exchanger service is off-engine. Remove, let the radiator shop (for example) do their magic, reinstall. Don't remember...
Would likely have seemed under-powered anyway. Most 43MYs had 8.3CTAs or Volvol TAMD 480s or some such. Rust stains on thru-hulls are often from...
I think we have the electronic/common rail V-8 "little brother" to those -- D2848LE423. AKA V8-900 CRM. So far, so good. It was expensive to...
We could have considered a 459, but there never was one for sale while we were shopping. If it's got Zeus pod drives, you may want to read up on...
Tricky. Sometimes you can get a (n electric) pressure washer wand in the crevices, and sometimes you can suck up the water with shop vac...
Shower/AC sumps and sink/shower drain hoses and pans can be an odor source... and permeated sanitation hoses. Mold. Gross bilge. Et cetera....
The 480CE was sort of a Diamond-series 450C (6CTA) with added electronic controls of some sort. I thought the lowest/original horsepower for the...
BTW, Ross, that "one owner" part would likely be a plus, in my mind. -Chris
I dunno how to do the computations, but... I'd guess it takes minimal horsepower to get to and maintain 8 kts. Lots more horsepower to get above...
You must be a better shopper than I am... all these boats you're finding that I've not seen in YW or BT. Looks like a nice boat. Is it the max...
If it helps... we've found it's better to find a boat that checks all your "feature" boxes... and worry later about what engines might be in it....
Looks good on paper, nice if it looks the same in real life. Dunno why I can't find a listing on BT or YW. Unless the broker took it down when...
Under your contract, your survey scheduled? Or somebody else's? Guess I'm not finding the listing for this one. I see a '77 on BT with rebuilt...
What's the B330's? Those years, would have been Diamond Series 6CTAs, 450-hp. Yes. You may have to occasionally get up on plane for a few...
G4 LEDs -- sidepin or backpin -- from marinebeam are mostly (all?) 10-30VDC. You can select from among choices how many lumens you mgith want,...
Or maybe the measurement I'm trying to remember is the ID of the hose that attaches to it... -Chris
