Not knowing to which brands CJ was referring to, I must take your word for it. But I'm aware of some boats/builders in that size bracket whose...
Absolutely. It's just a shame that judges struggle to prove that they have a large share of responsibility. If and when they even try, that is. :(
Indeed. It's rather obvious that if I already owned an incorrectly propped boat I wouldn't sell her at a huge loss just for that reason alone....
'Course I was joking, but for all the faults of Concordia disaster, the salvage bit was indeed widely recognized as a remarkable success. BTW,...
I must admit that this thread is making me proud of my poor old Country. By this rate, that thing might remain a part of the landscape for longer...
Let me guess: in those conditions, didn't you actually see the marker better by bare eye? Of course, assuming to not be blinded by any helm...
I agree that the addage is useless with manufacturers of 60-70' boats who are unable to prop correctly their boats, because even without knowing...
Yeah, I know the theory. Including the bit about less blades for higher top speed, as C J mentioned. But there's MUCH more than the number of...
With boat wheels, there is only one thing you can always be sure of: ALL of them are wrong. The name of the game is finding those which are the...
He didn't say he was going to ask the shipyard, actually. That said, if I were the one paying the bills, the only person I would trust to make...
Why not share them also with us? :)
Yeah, the above setup is strictly meant for flushing an engine at idle, that's a given. I do understand that an engine with a 3" strainer can't be...
Yep, moot point. But just for the records, you can trust me if I tell you that there's not a snowball chance in hell to starve the engine of raw...
The risk you describe does exist, but it's very easy to avoid it. After you open the fresh water valve on the hose attached to the strainer, and...
I don't have a RO system onboard, but actually I assumed that also Pascal was not referring to it. I mean, he said that they fill the boat with...
It's always good to hear from a boater happy about his/her new pride and joy, whatever the choice is. After all, there's also an old saying about...
Well, maybe myself and my wife are more fussy than really necessary. BTW, the boat has integral fiberglass tanks for everything...
Just curious, how many of you folks actually drink water from the boat tank? Personally, I never did, even if none of my boats had corrosion or...
Just for the records, while I can't be positive about that, I don't think it's actually the case. It looks like the OP is the same chap that...
Wow. If you are sure of that, you've got some cool running engines there. Though as I recall, in CRM engines the much higher numbers quoted by...
