Yes it does, but that's what actually happens also when the fridge is connected to the batteries. Just think of a normal scenario, where the...
I'm not sure to see what you mean, NYCAP. While the boat is docked, connected to shore power and with the charger on, don't you leave the domestic...
Are they, practically? If you are aware of any pleasure boat built with that setup, I'd be very curious to have a look at her specs. I'm always...
Seconded. I'd be more concerned about the charger than the fridge, if it can't keep up with the current demand of the fridge and also have a fair...
+1. How are they interfaced to diesels?
I would also be very skeptical about that. On the other hand, I'd rather be at several days from land onboard the first, rather than a neglected...
Built in Brazil, I suppose?
Nope, they still do. A QE with a depressed demand does nothing for inflation, that's chapter 2 of the book.
Told you so, as you might remember...! :)
I wouldn't be so sure, because it's rather likely that at the same time a depressed demand will have an opposite - possibly stronger - effect....
Oscarvan, I'm not sure to understand your point. I mean, I'm also aware of engines killed upon startup, after sea water filled some cylinders...
That's essentially down to considering also very long passages as part of the fun, not as a job to accomplish. Personally, I see them much more as...
Urgh, that sounds a VERY poor tank capacity, for a 62 footer... :confused:
Absolutely. Expensive they are in absolute terms of course, but if badly designed, their overall cost can be a multiple, potentially stretching...
Yup, all agreed. I didn't see your post 'cause I was writing mine. I was also wondering if that boat is on V-drives, because she does appear to...
Coming to think of it, I understand the doubts on this matter, because marine exhausts are tricky, and rarely well understood also among...
Nope. A bit counterintuitive maybe, but it's actually the other way round. Raw water is re-injected only when the engine is running, and while its...
Yup, I believe that's negligible, for two reasons. First, even if dry exhaust pipes can indeed get much hotter than the engines, in terms of...
Neither do I, and I did say exactly the same, in fact. That doesn't make then necessary, anyway. Aside from my own boats, I can think of several...
Nothing wrong in a long dry section per se, but necessary, it definitely isn't. In my V8 MAN installation (as well as many others that I've seen)...
