An engine has a propeller curve where it will and should see certain loads at a certain RPM based upon it achieving WOT RPM. The newer electronic...
The engines are propped so that both achieve 2300 rpms at WOT. If this vessel was built with 1 12v71, it would have a lot less propeller pitch....
I've found that integrity and character are a big factor in the quality of work in some situations.
I wouldn't run them on one engine. The engine is operating in an overloaded situation (being it's propped based on both engines). 12v71TIs will...
Malcolm Elliot is Florida Nautical. But I've done over 100 surveys with him over the years and he's always top notch and knows darn near everything.
Florida Nautical surveyors and Matt Jones are 2 good ones.
There is no negative to going with Nibral over Bronze, only positives, besides the price.
Nibrals have a lot more forgiveness if you get into sand. A set of props is going to be on the boat for decades, I wouldn't skimp to save a...
What does your prop shop recommend? They would know the specs. Personally I would go with Nibral......but you might be able to find a good used...
I managed a 1987 63' Ocean for many many years. From the early 90's till 2009. It never had any structural issues BUT, we would have to put a...
Wood too. Some of the interior craftsmanship is still amazing. Merritt's have amazing woodwork. So do a lot of the other customs like Bayliss,...
I've never heard of any issues with ones in the 40' range. The only issues I heard of were 55's from the late 70's.
I've met several unhappy Post owners because they can't buy a new bigger one. hehehe
AND lower your engine lifespan dramatically. The engine is in a very overloaded state running on one engine when it is propped based on 2...
No and NO. Running on one engine on a yacht OR catamaran puts the engine in a VERY overloaded state (as the vessel is propped based on both...
saddle tanks are empty, forward tanks are half full.
My thoughts are it could be a low or dead cylinder also. I also would never WOT an engine that's been sitting a while. Run it slower for a while,...
High speed hose should be ok, but it may overwhelm the gravity feed. So just move to the other side and then go back to the 1st tank. You can...
What kind of v12 MTU? 12v183??? 12v2000? I wouldn't trust anyone from Freeport and would fly a mechanic in from Lauderdale. It does not sound...
I've had great luck with scandvik. The 10 watt LED replacements are as bright as 20 watt halogen. I did 65 bulbs 2 years ago on a yacht where...
