Well rusty hose clamps may sound like details until they fail. Especially the cheap open band clamps and even more so if on some critical system...
The heads are easy to rebuild, the the main seal and ball valve first check that the pumps are working: motors running, at least some vacuum...
but which one is more fun?
Lol. You all missed one of the least predictable loads: the 6 long haired women who all fire up their 1500 watts blow dryers exactly one hour...
The hynautic system is normally pretty reliable. i m pretty sure the sea star KE4 is the same and the older Morse electronic controls. I used...
One way to troubleshoot which I considered but the boat sold before i had to do it, would be to hook up a dock hose as close to the tank pick up...
Again not familiar with super yachts but on smaller boats like the 110 I run, insulation is much worst than a in a home also, under a home the...

The very low hours scare me…. Salty humid air coming in thru the exhaust for weeks can do a lot of harm. that said, get a quote on shipping...
20 hours a year? That’s a big concern… even by north east standards that s a lot of sitting which means corrosion. 425 hp out of the smaller...
My 53 had been converted to VF in the late 90s when I bought it in 2003. I kept the 3 VFs till about 4 years ago. Yea they could be a little...
