??? Are you intending a leisurely trip? Or a "delivery?" ICW, outside, or a mixture of both? Some boat details: length, height, and draft and...
AC vs. AC/DC... pros and cons, of course. We've had NovaKool in the past, worked well enough -- including the freezer portion -- but needed...
Not Cabo, but our boat came with Sub-Zero units, a door freezer and a 2-drawer fridge. AC only. We recently had to finally bag the freezer, and...
Yep, good point. -C
If it helps to know, the aft inboard mount on our starboard 900 CRM is stamped 1794 51. [ATTACH] -Chris
Haven't been paying strict attention, but seems to me diesel prices we were seeing as we moved the boat south last month were always at least...
It's difficult to replicate power of up to, say, twin 1200-hp diesels with (mostly gas) outboards. Marine diesel usually less expensive, with...
Near as I can tell, there's never yet been a documented case of fire caused by LFP batteries. Which is not to say I've read everything about...
I've been reading threads about lithium batteries in several fora for years... and I've drawn about eight conclusions. 1) LiFePO4, aka LFP, is...
In our previous boat brand, they weren't commonly installed until circa 2003. -Chris
I'd have thought many here would have jumped all over this... -Chris
We have Oceanair blinds, and we also have a hatch shade like the one in your photo. Works well enough. Had some cosmetic damage to it when we...
Sea Vision is what came on our boat; dunno if factory option or aftermarket installation. AC version. Needed a new incandescent bulb, got one...
No clue about the boat, but if you don't know already reading suggests you should look over Tony Athen's/Seaboard Marine recommendations on how to...
Do you mean those as examples of "unfounded negative comments about Zeus drives" that you heard? -Chris
I expect that's only if you're looking at boats from the '80s or before... or maybe early '90s? Reading suggests DDs are relatively easy to care...
I dunno squat about marine gas engines, so can't really compare. We had 7.4 gassers in a previous boat though, 33' express, and I think 375-hp......
If you intend to do any traveling, or offshore fishing, with a 42' Egg... can't say I'd recommend gas engines. Our previous boat was a 42, a few...
You might. After tuning. But I suspect "better" props is about the quality of the metal, maybe some differences in shaping (perhaps to the max...
Either of those models (or some other), sounds like you just need to do some tuning. Tell your prop shop what RPM you've got (fully loaded boat,...
