I've seen that done for electronics banks. I wouldn't do it with a generator. The large draw of the starter will really unbalance the bank, and...
You're going to need a 31 at a minimum for the 20 kw. You should run it more often as sitting does it NO favors.
Over here in the U.S. during the 2000s, the U.S. builders (mostly Sportfish) jumped back and forth between CAT and MAN with whoever every year or...
It depends where you are cruising. South Florida will take more planning, other places not so much, or more phone calls and might not be able to...
3406s are great motors but louder than the MANs. The Man 820's in the 50' post is the perfect Combo. 26-27 knot cruise at 55 gph, smooth, quiet,...
It helps with the ride a good bit........ you can definately notice that. You can probably get the same speed in most conditions by keeping the...
They work great. The 41' Cabo which is the same boat, has them and they work well.
It's a 38' boat, there aren't too many places it could leak from and the boat really isn't all that big........ get a really good flashlight, a...
They're actually gaining a little traction on the big fishing catamarans (38'-50') and a few big center consoles I've seen rigged with them. One...
You shouldn't be using the bow thruster at all when the boat is underway and doing more than 2 knots. It becomes greatly in-effective and is very...
But, just to keep apples to apples, any 40' boat is going to be small as far as accomodations go. In the 40' size the Cabo was twice the seaboat...
You can get 300HP diesel outboards.... COX and OXE make them.
Stretching the hull generally adds a lot of bouyancy in the stern, since the stern extension usually doesn't have a lot of weight over it (just a...
The MAN boats rode better and performed better. The C32's were about 4500 lbs heavier and upsetted the balance of that boat and they were NOISY at...
No, don't put words in my mouth. Have you run several different sized Nordhavns??? I have run dozens of these types of displacement hulled Asian...
Using a bow thruster while underway is a great way to break a sheer pin or spin the hub on the plastic propped bow thrusters. Guys, this is how...
In addition to what everyone else wrote. A displacement hull won't go any faster than the water in which it can displace (hull speed), so a...
Yes, they work well.......very well and repeatable since the scale is 0-100 on each tab. I have seen a few failures on fairly new boats, but I...
There was a 2014 for sale that I looked at for a buyer a year or so ago.
Yup. A friend of mine running a 66' Azimut a year or two newer than yours had 3 seperate water leaks into the salon on the boat he was running at...
