If she's the one in Pascal link, while reading it my first thought was that $79,500 is actually too low. That is, the owner should pay me more to...
Absolutely. I heard quite a few owners of IPS powered boats calling the marina and ask to send ribs to push them in their berth, because the...
Zero interest to dismiss Ultra, Rule, or anything else. But I've yet to come across a bilge-specific switch that can hold a candle to magnetic...
+1. I was also somewhat scared by some of the posts in this thread, but I refrained to comment for two reasons: First, I'm more familiar with...
Only been at FLIBS once, ten years ago, and I hated every awfully crowded days of it. OTOH, I actually enjoyed the nights I spent there. I mean,...
In a boat where the AP can't handle any kind of sea better than the helmsman, my first thought would be to fix the AP (and/or understand how to...
Do you mean it's normal for SFs to "pitch and yaw in any kind of following or quartering sea at various speed"? In a two feet sea, which is what...
Hence the first of the two alternative possibilities in my previous post #42. Which 'fiuaskme is hands down the more likely.
I can certainly see why. I already posted my suggestion on what I have good reasons to consider the best shaft seals money can buy in this...
What I would do at next haul-out is replace both with some seals not built by amateurs. In fact, I can only see two alternatives: either they...
I suppose you mean aside from the one on your right when sitting on the internal helm, which you couldn't miss even if you wanted to? :) IIRC, the...
That sounds VERY worrying, particularly in a new boat. Whatever the reason, I would involve the dealer as Dockmaster suggested, even before...
Interesting. I appreciate that the rudders on the external engines would be much less effective with only the mid one running, but aren't they at...
For long distance cruising at displacement speed using just one, maybe? Just a thought.
Not sure about the OP boat (and not wishing him anything bad of course - rather the opposite, in fact!), but particularly when balsa or plywood...
Sorry, I can't help with what you are looking for, but are you sure of the boat+engines model? I have the very same MANs on my 56 footer, and she...
Well, every day is a school day, as they say. Rated for much more than 15kVA, I suppose? And does that imply running the chiller regardless of...
If it isn't, its plate certainly reminds of one. I'm a bit intrigued by the two large-ish black hoses that look like meant for water, though. Are...
"Operate" the thing is just the fun part. If you're planning to have no crew at all, I'd be more concerned about the upkeeping part, i.e....
Not much to add to previous - all valid - comments. But I hope you don't mind if I challenge your question a bit, 'cause you seem to imply that...
