With adequate training these should be easy runs but as GY mentioned picking up moorings from a boat that size isn’t easy. I don’t know what the...
I never understood the point of those speedseal. Today one of the Ohnos 27.5 was a little louder than usual. It took me 1 minute to pop the 3...
Yes if trawler then yanmars, Deere, lugger are a possibility. I don’t know of any US sold boats with Scania, VW or Gardner... even Perkins or...
50 to 60 foot is going to be diesel... cats, Cummins, MTUs, MANs or Volvos. Most will be conventional shafts, some will be Volvo IPS pods which...
That law isn’t new... it s been years. A simple search will turn up dozens and dozens of pages and documents, many from the USCG Ex....
Read the USCG rules. As long as charterer has the option of choosing the crew, it is legal. Obviously to paraphrase President Clinton: "It...
No much difference in size. My norpro is 15... the johnson I used to run had 20 NL and even the Lazzara “only” has 27.5 Ohnos. I hate them....

That’s ridiculous. What kind of pump? This isn’t a very large system I m sure a March pump would work. That s what I have on my boat with two...

If they’re frozen and a reasonable amount of force doesn’t free them, don’t make it worst. Wait till your next haul out and free them. Don’t take...
Confused. Are you asking about US rules or Canadian... would be nice if you were more specific. Your first post mentioned 6 pak which i believe...
Sure.
Doesn’t matter if it s a two hour or two week charter. Rules are the same
Using it where, how?? as a floating condo and week ender on lakes or sheltered inland waters, that’s a great boat. Beware of docking on windy day...
The timing maybe a refinement but with a regular pedal operated VF there is no difference. Press the pedal and the ball valve opens and the water...
I believe the ball valve closes when power is turned off but you may want to check that. If not another relay will do the trick
