What?!? Neither the surveyor nor the mechanic suggested to clean the bottom and the underwater gear while the boat was out, before going for a...
Agreed, but that's understandable to a large extent. You don't want to go out for pleasure in any sea that can throw tons of green water at you...
For some reason I previously missed your reply. I'm no SF expert at all, is that a behaviour you would expect from any of them? A sudden total...
Was also the stop solenoid jammed? That would be a weird concidence, 'cause usually they have nothing to see with the control levers.
Good choice, but what does low voltage have to see with your Hynautics controls? They need no current at all, AFAIK. Or did I miss a separate issue?
Nope, that's also included as standard in Kobelt actuators. If you look at this webpage, the actuator levers with red and black balls on top are...
Hindsight is a great thing, but the OP boat is already on the hard, stored in a place where turning the engines on is forbidden...
Cruising at 25 kts, I suppose with rudders centered, then one prop suddenly slows to idle speed (but still spinning), and the boat hooks?!? I'd be...
I'm a fan of engine flushing in general, but without knowing for sure that there's no risk of water reversal, Fiammetta's suggestion does make...
Simple, they don't. Green water smashing through the bridge windows of commercial ships are not unheard of. And comparably strong glasses are...
I couldn't agree more. But if the hynautic controls the OP mentioned are the ones I have in mind, they are a very different animal vs. the...
Cheer up, nobody's perfect... :) :p
Positively +1 to what Oscarvan said, also because it doesn't depend only on the engine. Also how a wet exhaust and its raw water re-injection (or...
LOL, that's an invitation that would fit 99% of boaters! :D
Retrofitting electronic controls on non-electronic engines is a pet peeve of mine, for two reasons. First, they don't fully replace the...
Pump cavitation is never going to happen if the water from the connected hose is pressurized, which of course it would be. And it's pointless to...
Not the most reassuring sort of previous owner to buy a boat from...
I've only just seen this old thread now. It's kinda funny that someone thought to stick a label under a panel which is already clearly labelled in...
Weird windlass arrangement.
Good luck.
