Actually you generally want to see more engine hours in the year range that you're looking at. Diesel engines don't like to sit around and you...
1. Yes you can. You'll see around 1.5 mpg at trawler speeds in a 35'-45' SF. However you might want to call it trolling speeds (some fisherman...
If I remember correctly, the Post hatches were all fiberglass? Find someone that does fiberglass and have them fix it.
It depends on the motor, the sea water temp and the thermostats. I "think" the common rail 1100's I run have 192F thermostats in them, and yours...
Your speeds are amazing and I looked at the specs. It is larger than it appears in the picture. My personal thoughts are it's not well suited...
Yes, go to a Caterpillar dealer and buy the sample kits, they're around $30-35 each. The kit has the bottle to put the sample in, a larger bottle...
Unfortunately those conditions will scale up the heat exchangers a lot faster than usual. They'll also wear out impellors quicker. But it is what...
Thank you for the knowledge.
I'm not sure without seeing her in person. I know the 80' Hatteras well (and the 84' Lazzara) they are very tall with tons of interior space....
The Delta 80 numbers are impressive, but that boat is also a lot smaller in Volume and sheer size and therefore a lot lighter.
That's a heck of a lot of miles. I know the easy and surefire way to get a 40' there. Put it on a freighter and be done with it.
It's been a very long time since I was on one. 140-150 GPH at 20-22 knot cruise......somewhere in that range. 10-12 knots they're very...
Sunseeker loves using Ys for their a/c drain hose and inevitably once a year or twice on this one boat, the same thing happens, it is always at...
Are they multi piston so that each reefer is alienated and if one has a freon leak, you don't lose freon to all of them or the entire system?
192F at 80% load. Motors are a little underpropped 2360 rpms loaded......80% is anyhere from 2050-2150 depending on fuel load. EGT's around...
Yes, Lazzara really does excel at layout. Their layouts for the size of the vessel are very impressive. A 2006 80' Hatteras MY with an...
No, I dealt with one of the last 45's with 1100 common rails. MAN's like to be run higher rpms, they have less torque and running them lower...
It really depends on how savy you as the buyer are. A good buyers broker can screen boats, but there are lots of them not as good. How do you...
550 rpms is a bit low. I'm not super familiar with 671's as it's been years since I've run a set. With 12v71's which I've run lots of, it's very...
My experiences have been opposite. I've noticed the Rydlime only cleans so so. The biggest issue I've seen with heat exchangers and a lack of...
