There's no right or wrong answer to whether they are worth the cost or not - each to their own on that. But since in your OP the focus seemed to...
Seconded 100%.
'Salright, as long as there are many more reasons why people love them. It's only money after all, and you only live once. Here in Italy, we don't...
Why? If anything, it's just the "about 20 years" that is a bit off the mark. Ragnetti supported Fabio Perini since the Company foundation, in...
I agree with everything you wrote, but actually running at wot unloaded is one of the normal checks for diesel engines. Didn't they do that with...
That would have been also my preference. But it's fair to say that the ZF stuff usually mated to Cat engines is not bad, either.
Fair enough, that sounds acceptable. I mean, the boat reaction, not the controls fault, of course!
Mmm... Did you actually try that with any other boats? As I said, it should be part of routine tests for any new boat. And a total power cut on...
I also wouldn't, because the 130 doesn't have any hull windows! :)
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...
