With the mechanical Detroits. I hear of guys taking 8v92 DDEC's and switching to 6 port injectors, a larger HEUI pump and having someone burn the...
You usually have plenty of natural light from deck hatches on SF in most staterooms.
NO, it's getting wet because the joint is too tight and with heating and cooling cycles it expands and has nowhere to expand to and is lifting...
See if you can find someone (megayacht or large yacht usually) that has a salinity meter. They're usually a $50-60 tool, so most will have one in...
Jarrett Bay in Beaufort Merritt's or Teak Decking Systems in FLL.

In Comparison, I ran a 60' defeaver from Green Port, NY to Stuart, FL. It had a hull speed of 8 knots, but many days we we're down to 5.7-6.2...
I did the entire great loop, 90% of the time at 1000 rpms @ 12 GPH (total) in a older 75' Hatteras MY.
How are your pre-filters? Try changing those first if they're old. But most likely it's membranes. 1400 gpd is 60 gph +/-, try 700 psi and see...
Get a diaphram bilge pump with a really low pick up. And low float switch.
Yes, the Searay 58 sedan bridge cruises at 28+ knots.
Maybe, they're waiting on the payment to go through before they pull in.....LOLOLOLOL
