That's a sort of catch 22: if the glue doesn't hold, of course the fitting can fail completely. BUT, if the glue doesn't hold, that was a Mickey...
Either your arms are 6 feet long, or you gotta be kidding. Sure, the hatch gives you a safer path to the ground tackle, but you still must get out...
Absolutely. But by the same token, I've also seen fittings glued with the right sealant and following the correct process, that were simply...
Just curious, are you possibly referring to a grey hull boat called E.M.?
You're missing the forest for the trees. I just checked the specs of that pump: it's rated for a max head of 27 ft, and can withstand a max...
I was wondering exactly the same. BTW, the point related to bulkheads and/or capability to withstand flooding is something for which I can't think...
Leeky, it seems to me that you keep twisting what I write just for the sake of it, taking also the time to highlight bits on sentences in red,...
I see two reasons for that. First, quite a few in the industry aren't even aware of it - which explains why some u/w exhausts are awfully built...
Yeah, as if the boat which is the subject of this thread (or any other sportfish boat for that matter) had dry exhausts... o_O My sentence which...
Can't be positive on this specific model, but in all other vertical windlass I came across, the handle can do either one or the other, depending...
I see that Pascal already answered that, but I was wondering the same. In my current boat (with vertical winch and no brake), I also power down...
That's exactly what I'm saying. As a practical example, in my own boat, whose u/w exhaust were very carefully designed, the backpressure...
I guess you are correct. They definitely look too large for being only bypass pipes!
Contrarily to common belief, the main raison d'être of u/w exhausts is efficiency, with noise reduction as a side show. When properly designed, at...
Do you mean they could be just the idle bypass, with u/w main exhaust?
That's a very good point indeed. Stripping shafts and rudders is a given, but depending on if and how much of water reversion the engines might...
The video as such doesn't worry me as much as the fact that this Alfred Montaner youtuber has more than 300k subscribers. Proves beyond any...
Yeah, I'm aware of that, and my previous post was obviously ironic in this respect. Then again, a supposedly top construction 92 feet vessel, only...
I always found the reasons for NOT having bow rails in sportfish boats a bit unplausible, if not even laughable. But eventually, I just had a...
I didn't check that, but I think that if the Boening interface can't do what the OP wants, nothing else can. In fact, @SplashFl: when you say...
