Fair enough, I did wonder. By and large, I'm rather skeptical that what you have in mind is feasible in a planing boat, where the ratio between...
I'm aware of a nice Glendinning kit for synchronizing mechanical engines. As I recall, it has its own mechanical pickups to read the revs from the...
Well, everything is relative, of course. Personally, I always felt more "at home" in Ferrettis than Sunseekers, at any comparable size, but that's...
Now, THAT is something making me wonder how it could work. :D You surely meant speedometer rather than tachometer, didn't you?
Pros and cons, as always. Transom rudders do have their place in planing hulls, and are often used in fast boats like Itama, Magnum, Baia, etc....
Really? I'm amazed to hear that, particularly for plastic boats. The only boats for which I ever heard of builder's recommendations for...
Well, RESPECT is the word that springs to mind! Having seen what it takes to get jobs like this done properly, tackling it as a DIY project is...
No need, your post #10 was more than clear enough, many thanks.
Well, actually the breaker still makes sense. It's supposed to be there to protect the circuit, otherwise in case of overload there is a risk of...
Other ways, like what? I do have a handheld laser tach onboard, whose accuracy is beyond belief, but can only be used in the e/room... If you are...
For EU-styled but much more solid boats (even better than the Manhattan, in fact), you might have a look at Ferrettis, of which I guess you could...
Maybe the OP noticed the fire alarm only after posting the photo, and is now busy dealing with it... o_O
Aha, I see. Do you possibly know if they are specifically designed for that setup, or they can work also with the alternator input?
Yes it does, but that's what actually happens also when the fridge is connected to the batteries. Just think of a normal scenario, where the...
I'm not sure to see what you mean, NYCAP. While the boat is docked, connected to shore power and with the charger on, don't you leave the domestic...
Are they, practically? If you are aware of any pleasure boat built with that setup, I'd be very curious to have a look at her specs. I'm always...
Seconded. I'd be more concerned about the charger than the fridge, if it can't keep up with the current demand of the fridge and also have a fair...
+1. How are they interfaced to diesels?
I would also be very skeptical about that. On the other hand, I'd rather be at several days from land onboard the first, rather than a neglected...
Built in Brazil, I suppose?
