A gensets noise change suggests that the engine is struggling to keep up with a high current demand on its alternator, but pretty sure you must...
And didn't he mention that a multimeter test with no load on a capacitor is as reliable as tossing a coin? :confused: Based on your latest...
Well, I agree as a general principle, but one has to wonder what were they thinking at Cat, in this particular case. I happen to know intimately...
I definitely preferred the pocket anchors arrangement that I used to have in my previous boat to the bow roller that I have in the current one....
Are they, really? The CORES?!? I thought that only the external box was aluminum - which is an already debatable choice - but using it for the...
You might have already seen these Cabo seatrials sheets, but just in case... Ref. the hours, if anything they sound unusually low, for a 16 years...
You might be unable to spot a defective run capacitor with just a multimeter. Easier to just replace it and see what happens - it's not a big...
R U sure it isn't a 230V 50Hz motor? I can't read all the yellow label on the box, but it does show 230VAC at its top. Anyway, the symptoms you...
I am a big fan of the principle that all boats are headaches, and while most folks aim at the larger headache they can afford, it's much wiser to...
Doh! Don't ask me why, but when I wrote my previous comment I calculated by heart a displacement of around 9L for the V12 DD 71 - hence my comment...
20 kts at 1900 rpm with less than 80% load doesn't sound too bad, actually. I guess that aiming at a much faster speed with that hull would be...
No idea about if and how much oversized the original shafts were (or not) vs. the original power. But the exhaust size depends more on...
Pardon my bluntness, but it's also a matter of attitude, on top of age. At 32, you should feel like you'll live forever... ...but if you fear to...
I can't see well enough the steps in your photo in post #33 to understand how they work and how solid they are, so I won't comment further - aside...
Oi, I was simply commenting your own photo: in that particular situation, the passerelle (which btw in many boats, 'Hattan 55 included, is NOT in...
I believe that's actually a 55, not a 60. Regardless, I'd rather blame the penny pincher owner for not ticking the passerelle box. If anything,...
Well, that is very nice to have, I wish I could say the same of my boat!
Even more scary if it's the only way OUT!
That's not exactly shocking, if you consider that the OP is by now 17 years old...! Besides, the original link pointed to Power and Motoryacht...
Interesting. Do you know what props are they using? Rolla, possibly?
