IIRC, some are described by the outside diameter of their threads, not the outside diameter of their caps. For example, a "1½" product (thread...
Put the numbers for your 58 side by side with these. Enough difference to matter much? Then consider that starting over with another new-to-you...
Neutral safety switch? If not that, is there power at the ignition switch? If not that, is there continuity from ignition to starter? And so...
What are symptoms of "would not start"? Crank? No crank? Et cetera... -Chris
Really? I think I've read (here, and elsewhere I think) that Viking support if really good even for their old boats. -Chris
Call Viking? They can probably at least point you to brand/model info. -Chris
Can't speak to those engines, and don't know your budget situation... but if you run a boat like that at "trawler speeds" most of the time, fuel...
Looks like our average diesel cost/gallon was $3.29 at that time. Don't know current prices, but it was approx $6.00/gallon when we filled up...
Not familiar with the boats, but assuming flying bridge? If so, then a question to the group here might be who is familiar with...
It's semi-flexible. Many can dismount the flying bridge to get under highway bridges. Maybe better to start with boat ideas first, then work out...
Bag the tower? Find a better-placed marina, even if a slightly further automobile drive to/from? Can't say as I'd see any Ocean as better than...
The Powerboat Guide says 400 fuel, 160 water, 60 waste. Standard 350-hp (gas) Crusaders, optional 375-hp Cats. Maybe that means the diesels were...
Possibly. See your 7612 manuals; "Owners" and "Installation" manuals respectively probably say something like this: "The gauges and graphs...
In the meantime, you would already be able to set alarms on several systems -- radar, depth, AIS, AP (e.g., XTE), maybe FLIR (dunno) -- and you...
Pods have pros (mostly about efficiency) and cons (mostly about service). Volvo IPS pods have so far survived in the market place. Zeus pods...
No details; have only seen related comments about the situation on two other boating forums. Don't remember when production moved to India, but...
Bummer. Although AGMs offer alternative positioning, anything but upside-down I think. Also, Odyssey offers a few very odd 12V sizes/shapes, and...
That would be my first recommendation, for a house bank. In the last boat, we fitted 4x Lifeline GPL-4CTs (6V) into a little bit more space...
Firefly has apparently left the US market. And there are several reports on-line about failures in their batteries after having moved production...
We are using Lifeline when capacity is our first concern, and Odyssey Extreme when cranking amps are more important. I've read paralleling more...
