Yeah, I manage a 2007 boat that had them installed back then in 24 volt. They were like flashlights. The new owner traded them out for the newer...
Yanmar has had 28 hp diesel outboards for decades. I've never once seen one here in Fort Lauderdale
6-71 TI's are great motors and most people see 10,000 hours before rebuilds on them, usually 5,000 at a minimum. They're not as clean as the 4...
They're designed to run at cruise, this is what the D.D. dealer will tell you. But, if you want to run them slow (1000 rpms or less), then run...
That is the most annoying part. I too have had to deal with vendors where you're constantly calling them in order to get an answer. Multiply...
That is why I am so successful. I am honest and tell the owners I work for exactly what to expect. I have been using the best contractors and...
If you run them at cruise every 6 hours for 30 minutes they should be fine.
While far from ideal, you could Y both pumps into the same discharge hose with check valves if you had to, I'd find this superior to just having...
I would NOT trust repairing the block with a hole in it. There will be other damage to the block such as the crankshaft galleys if it threw a...
HULL, not hell. Typo....... the hull juts out about 5" about 8" above the waterline and stays that way to the rub rail. Just like a lot of the...
Thank You. While a rebuilt 12v71TI will go darn near forever, if you're going to cut a hole in the boat to get one out. It might be best to go...
Well, you're talking about a boat that was built 36 years ago. None of the people that worked at the factory are still there, and most of them...
I get very good prices on parts and systems from Beard but will not let them service any of my management yachts for the reasons mentioned. My...
I would recommend having an automatic pump like the rulamatic (the square one that has a built in float switch, not the one that cycles on every 2...
Yes, I had this done on a 1988 65' (that was extended to 75') nice straight up staircase. We didn't have to remove any bulkheads or anything. I...
There is no way it is that narrow at the waterline at the beamiest point. maybe right at the waterline, but then there is the 5" lip of hell that...
I'm pretty sure my buddy bought your boat, possibly from you around 12 years ago.
It sounds like you're just pissing in the wind and throwing money at it. You need to get a Yanmar tech out with the yanmar computer.
The new Westerbeke's are junk, ever since they switched over to the electronic control panel. Issue after issue after issue with the electronics....
At 1.46" which is what Covington set them up at it runs crystal clean, no visible smoke at any RPM.
