This is different than your car comparison. The clear coat used is a paint. BUT, traditionally when you re-paint a yacht let's say with White...
A few years (2-4) that various friends owned them, they sold the boats after a few years. It's very common to do on bass boats/race boats and...
I'm telling you that that is the information on the remanufactured CAT 3126 brochure for both 375hp and 420hp (they had both prop curves, hp...
I have seen several people wet sand a faded gelcoat boat and then sprayed clear coat directly over it and it made it shiny again and lasted a while.
http://s121.photobucket.com/user/osd9/media/3126-TA420data.jpg.html It's showing 6 gph at 1200rpms for the propellor curve, yet every other...
No, from the propellor curve chart. I don't have the brochure in front of me, I left it on the boat, but picked it up from the dealer about 6...
I believe most all of the ones from 2005 with the electronic displays are very very accurate. But they use a calculation based on what the fuel...
This one was 72' U.S. Navy and had twin 12v71's Naturals. It only ran 8 knots (a touch less with current), perhaps that's the way the engines...
I've also found some of CAT's fuel charts to be very in-accurate at low RPM's. The 1 page brochure for the reman cats found in the dealership,...
Speaking of landing craft. I worked full time for an owner that had a LRC 72' with Natural 12-71's and the exhaust exited out the sides right by...
A marine diesel at very low engine speeds such as idle rpm's uses very very little fuel. A 3116 at idle in gear is going to use less than 1 gph....
What work? Almost everytime I anchor the chain comes up clean. If you want spray it with the hose on it's way in, which is pretty easy as well....
A lot of yachts had this issue in the early to mid 2000's, both foriegn and domestic. The type or brand of clear coat/eurethane was the issue....
I don't understand that either and I've anchored many times.
Try Prospect plastics in Oakland Park, FL. I use them for a lot of windshield and plexiglass stuff.
Quite honestly Mr. Green lost a lot of respect when I see him holding an electric sander. I never use any electric tools when varnish besides a...
Stick a generator end on it for your house. That would create plenty of load and good for a lack of electricity.
6=71 Naturals are GREAT for that. I ran a 41' Viking with them that was so loud at hull speed you needed earmuffs on the flybridge.
I agree. I don't understand why soooo many people put out such a short amount of anchor rode/chain. I always put out lots of chain and around...
Correcting erroneous posts, yes I agree. But, the thread was about an Origional posters post was about hynautic STEERING on his cabo and how that...
