Cheer up, nobody's perfect... :) :p
Positively +1 to what Oscarvan said, also because it doesn't depend only on the engine. Also how a wet exhaust and its raw water re-injection (or...
LOL, that's an invitation that would fit 99% of boaters! :D
Retrofitting electronic controls on non-electronic engines is a pet peeve of mine, for two reasons. First, they don't fully replace the...
Pump cavitation is never going to happen if the water from the connected hose is pressurized, which of course it would be. And it's pointless to...
Not the most reassuring sort of previous owner to buy a boat from...
I've only just seen this old thread now. It's kinda funny that someone thought to stick a label under a panel which is already clearly labelled in...
Weird windlass arrangement.
Good luck.
Do you mean that your yard stored the boat without flushing the engines and filling them with antifreeze first? You'd better move the boat...
I can't figure how your exhaust/discharge system is designed, because you said in post #8 that you can hear the water running out. Does your boat...
Thanks for a sanity check, which should be a given by now, but obviously not to everyone. All the best for a prompt and full recover to you and...
Ok, that's one of the transducers that I previously mentioned, with internally tilted element and no fairing block. So, you definitely need to...
Unusual on pleasure boats maybe, but I wouldn't be concerned at all, considering also the one year timeframe. On any commercial boat, oil changes...
Cat DEO is just Mobil Delvac MX with a yellow label.
Is the transducer you are thinking to install a flush one, with an internally tilted element? If so, I understand your need to know the deadrise,...
Well, on all my boats engine controls have never been wired either - just mechanical. But that's irrelevant, also because no modern boat runs on...
Just take this FWIW, but it's something I learnt from an engineer involved in the development of these devices for industrial applications - hence...
Also YC does. I guess Capt J must have in mind older models. I still wouldn't want anything wireless, mind. Just saying.
Interesting, is that the expression you would use in the US? I never noticed that while I've been there, but I take your word for it. I'm pretty...
