Yeah, it's a mess for sure. I'd try to raise the tank a little if it's not already several inches above bilge water.
A friend of mine who happens to be a Yamaha mechanic had a pair of ox 250HP Yamaha's on his 27' Ocean Runner center console that he put a lot of...
The more I think about it. The less I think it's the fire system auto shutdown as that generally will shut everything off all at once. I'm...
You have to have the CAT tech look at the throttle signal codes. I'm guessing your issue is related to the sea fire shut down box, or a control...
I've never heard of an issue with the Racor standard plastic? see-through bowls that are on millions of yachts. If the fire is bad enough/large...
Personally, I just ran two 98' Yachts one was classed but far from being classed these days and another brand new Rina classed. IMO, unless it is...
It shouldn't be any different than a similar size/capacity and pressure centrifical pump.
OR could be a transfer tank and would have hoses and a fuel transfer pump going to/from it and the main tanks.
The smaller gauges are the same size, it's the tachometers that are not and what I was refering to.
I believe the new VDO gauges have a 4" face and the old ones like you had were slightly larger like 4 3/8" and that you have to get a bezel made...
Try Lauderdale Speedometer in Fort Lauderdale, they are a VDO dealer and have a lot of NOS VDO gauges like you're looking for.
10 gph at 8 knots is the same fuel burn you'll get on the Viking at the same speeds. The MANs can be a little pricey to maintain and can be a...
Running any yacht at hull speed and diesels at 800 or 1000 rpms will result in your best fuel economy. A set of 1050 mans probably burns 6 gph at...
I really like St. Maartin and St. Barts and some of the surrounding islands. If you're stuck because of weather, there are tons of things to do....
That's not always true with wire size. If the run is longer, you'd need 12 gauge or even 10 gauge to carry the same 15 amp load. Also some...
A cockpit really makes a motoryacht. Makes it much easier to board when stern to, much easier to get lines, carry things, swim/dive/fish. I ran...
LOLOL, this reminds me of a 54' Bertram I ran a few times many years ago. It had 6500 hours without rebuilds. When you started it, it would grey...
The 54' I ran with 12v92's didn't do any better on speed than a 12v71 boat. It only had a hardtop as well. It would do 23 knots at 1900...
A 63' Hatteras MY with stabilizers (early 2000s) would be in your price range. It would do ok in 3-5' and be a little uncomfortable in 4-6', but...
I've run lots of different Hatteras, but never a 68' SF. I'll ask a friend of mine who I believe has run one.
