Yanmars are good motors, some of the Volvo's also turn 3600 +/- RPMS and cruise around 3000 rpms. They seem to stay together without any issues.
The c18 1150 HP run very good, very torquey. I've run LOTS of them. I just don't see as big of a difference in speed between them and the 1015...
Yes, but the 3512's/3516's were low speed motors. The trend now with the big SF and planning motoryachts in the 100'-150' range are higher rpm...
Yes 1300 HP out of a C18 footprint and weight would be a very good thing. I ran the 1000HP C12.9's and in a 62' MY they REALLY lacked the torque...
It's fun to go fast, when you're not the one paying for the fuel!!!!!!! hehehee.
The 2004 54 GT was a very very good running boat. The one I ran quite a bit had c30's that cruised at 32-33 knots with a tuna tower at 112 gph...
The 1015 HP is bullet proof. I've run a lot of the 1150hp also and they don't seem to add much performance or speed, even in the same boat and...
Do you have enough seatime for a Captains license? STCW and then a Captains license (even the most basic)would be the way I would go. Even if...
I would do it in a place where the instructors speak your native language. I would think that in Asia it would be difficult. I would do the...
Really the linseed oil and all that is a bandaid on an old boat. After 10-15 years the Butyl or sealant that was used to bed/seal the windows has...
Starbrite waterproofing agent. Clean the top or canvas, make sure it is bone dry. I take a 3/8" nap synthetic roller and roll a decently thick...
Linseed oil in and of itself waterproofs the wood as it dries in it like a waxy substance. Sort of like the stuff you put on Bimini tops...
Most likely a bad solenoid in the trim pump that's not opening. Reverse the hoses on the trim pump and see if up makes it go down.
No, they have a monitoring system that displays error codes on the dash. Alarms and things of that nature only.......
Surfside is NOT what they used to be since MarineMax bought them out. There used to be a guy named Rob that worked there and was the Azimut parts...
I agree, but I honestly absolutely hate the changing water pressure and resulting change in water temperature in the shower with the shallow well...
AC or DC? I like the Mach5 pumps from headhunter.........
They are tide seals.
If they're tide seals, take something really thin and flat and shove it between the seal and shaft and run it around the entire circumference of...
Most likely a bad diode in the charger sending AC voltage through to the batteries.......or just full charge mode and cooking them, but guessing...
