NOT WITH ME IN IT!!!!!!!!!
On vessels that are really fast, launching the hull out of the water and back into the water can be an issue for fins. More so that it can...
KIWI- I've found on the yachts under 80' with pods that vibration is much much lower than shafts when underway and at cruise as well as reduced...
I don't know if they were in house or not. BUT a good air condition filter company can make new ones out of aluminum or stainless. Try Pure air...
They could be. The OP did mention that effectiveness while the vessel is anchored or at rest. Now, zero speed stabilizers work pretty well in...
Are your generators large enough to drive them? Quite honestly, I would never touch Italian stabilizers, let alone electric ones. I would...
Can you make it remote control?
I don't see the need for both on a slow boat. One system will work to stabilize it. The 2 stabilizers are generally on faster yachts, the...
She is good looking. I think they should've extended the flybridge further aft, and made the engine box area mezzanine seating instead. And the...
Cat has used ZF pods with C18's as well. The problem is the warranty game. Which I was involved with, in 1 boat that had CATS and ZF pods. Boat...
Not enough demand. PODS have been and currently are in use in tug boats and large cruise ships. They are efficient and highly maneuverable....
I agree with Marmot, on a vessel this size (44'), going electric makes no sense. I also see sailboats motoring 80% of the time, even with...
Not to mention, do you know what 10,000 lbs of batteries would cost every 3 years to replace? A diesel inboard sailboat is pretty darn cheap to...
Add a Tuna tower to a 43' boat with funky handling characteristics to start with and you are in for a treat.
Not sure, but on the newer ones there are two tanks, one tank was under the cockpit floor and the other tank forward of the engine room.
Honestly, I think I'd shy away from a 43' with a tuna tower. I think the ride in a following sea may scare the heck out of you.
You don't mention the size, but it's probably larger. I don't think a Non-US citizen could set up an LLC in the U.S. One boat I ran was under a...
Yeah, I don't think there is much difference between these 2 years besides power. If I was going for a 50' Post, I'd try to go newer and 820 MANs...
Yes, there are some crappy brands of stabilizers that have been introduced over time. Those POS air powered aritsu POS's and their giant air...
Hi Zud, I sent you a conversation on here and have done that trip before and am available.
