You get what you pay for. Viking is a very good builder as well. Since they're aren't any 10 year old Viking USA built MYs, I didn't mention...
Not sure totally. A 63' Ocean I used to manage had the solenoids mounted on the foward bulkhead of the engine room. They weren't too expensive,...
The 92' Viking has 2 6 ton chillers for a total of 12 tons of air conditioning. See page 20, the first line under MECHANICAL. " Air...
A lot more expensive to go chilled water. Routing all the chilled water lines and insulating them would be A LOT of labor in your boat. Plus I...
The build quality on the Hatteras is far above the Euro brands overall. Just go look at 10 year old motoryachts. I just got off a 2006 Hatteras...
Just put the LED bulbs in and be done with it. Transformers won't get hot with the little draw of the LED bulbs. I was just on a boat today...
No, the fluid generally bypasses when the tabs reach full extension. Yes, you can add TT indicators if you have bennett's, not sure about the...
Absolutely. I would want my family and friends to be as safe as possible. You should have enough seatime to get your 100 ton masters. I think...
I've had to send several Newmar battery chargers back to Newmar for cooking batteries. One 6 months old, but usually when Newmars go bad, they go...
A LOT more than buying a non floating waterfront condo!

Not sure. Have you had to add drive oil recently? Does the oil look clean and not milky? How long has it been since the oil has been changed?...
Hard paint is a lot more effective than Ablative from what I've seen. I too get 3 years out of a bottom job on 1 boat with hard paint. I prefer...
Yeah, it's amazing how much speed you pick up when you strip a bunch of old layers of paint on. Nobody thinks of how much each one of those...
On a boat like the carver, most of them run stern heavy and it would probably run faster and help it stay on plane by draining the cockpit first....
I don't know, Charlie Smith told me this when I had a 2007 MY surveyed a year ago by him with C 18's. He stated CAT is now recommending that if...
I was told CAT is now recommending aftercoolers be replaced every 7 years on C 18s and C32's, not sure on the validity of it, but was told by...
Sounds like you either had something metallic near the compass, some other form of electronic interfering with it, or the compass is starting to...
The ones I posted a link to are even sold at West Marine, but you can use them 90 degrees as well as horizontal with the handle.......can also tap...
I would think it would have shut down on an error code. You have to determine if it's a governor issue and the engine is running too many rpms...
