Where are you getting the water from that you're filling the tank? Is it at a marina with CITY water, or are you filling the tank with well...
I life Life Seal (NOT Life Caulk)
They might've cut down the 2.5" to 2.25" on a lathe......I would think a good prop shop could do that pretty easily.
I recently was on a West Bay 58' Very good quality of construction and everything that you need to service was easy to get to. I liked the boat....
Good luck with that. What exactly are you trying to achieve? What issues are you having?
You missed the part about it losing 1/2 a gallon of coolant per day. Coolant gets low, coolant temp rises, it hits the temperature shut down.
I second going with Veems, with the intercepter props, you can change the pitch very easily by simply replacing the plastic strips in the prop.
Barnacle buster is the LAST thing I would do. If it's losing 1/2 a gallon of coolant and it's not leaking externally, and it's not getting into...
That's exactly what I was thinking. Why not paint the engine room.
I've had it where the heat exchanger was borderline.......light loads coolant temp would run near the safety shutdown, when more load was applied...
How about putting gauges on it and properly diagnose it. Sounds more like a heat exchanger and as you load it, it hits the overheat shut down....
Go look at the 60' Bertram thread and read it. The performance numbers of having crappy props that achieved rpms and a proper set of props are...
What rpm's does it max out at? Big difference at cruise speed with MAN's if they achieve 2350 rpms at WOT instead of 2300 or less rpms. The...
Yes it's plenty fine, but you're best running 1000 rpms and then cruise every 6 hours for 40 or 45 minutes instead of 30 to make up for the speed...
Charters do that so they're off of the deck and out of the way. And you know, in Miami with an illegal charter with 12 guests on board.....it's...
Pretty level. It's hull speed.
1000 rpms will get you 10-11.2 knots. I ran one that had C18's in it and was a great combination. One of the last ones they built. You should...
When you say the filters are clean. Are they NEW? I've seen engines with fuel pressure issues and the filters looked quite good, but were...
Ocean yacht yard in Norfolk.
There are many yards that can fix it. You will never match gray if it's metallic. Just paint the hull, it's not that costly to paint the hull...
