Pull them, clean both surfaces and reseal them. You need a window guy, preferably one who does windows on yachts.
Not very far from the fill hose. Should be centerline and within a few feet fore and aft of where the deck fill is. A 63' I managed had it in...
Working with fiberglass upside down is always a major job and major pain in the ass.
Rcrapps, do you have a way in your boat to transfer all of the fuel you have into one tank and keep the other tanks empty?
No I've seen plenty of Algae issues in Fiberglass tanks too. Like I said though. I'm seeing MUCH less algae issues now with the lower sulfur...
Heavy does not equate a smooth ride. That is an old school falacy. 97% of planing boats ride much better when lighter. Of all the deliveries I...
I and every Captain and mechanic I know HATE gas inboards. Every gas boat I've ever managed, there was ALWAYS something wrong with one of the...
Well that is true. 12 cylinder modern motors are expensive to maintain and take care of, but they're also BIG motors. Let's stick to CAT's a C18...
True. I find it odd that there hasn't been one single magazine test of the 35' Bertram with speeds after all this time. I saw one running in...
West coast IS a totally different animal. To grow algae in diesel you need 3 components: Heat, air, and moisture. The air and water temp where...
I know of another 72' that had C30's and one had a cracked block, owner replaced both with C 32's. I know of several 80's that had one motor...
Micheal Peters hulls 10 years ago have come very close to that number. I've seen 36' Cabo's do 38 knots WOT. The cabo's have a beafier...
Polishing fuel is a waste of time in most cases from what I've seen, unless the fuel is so bad you can't run 2 hours on it. You need to get rid...
I thought the gas engines in a 92' was pretty interesting myself.
If the vaccuum gauge went into the red and the filters are all new when it died you have a fuel restriction. The supply hose is probably either...
They've had them at the boat shows for about 2 years now and have sold over a dozen I think.
Actually the C32's had aftercoolers with issues too. I've seen several with the aftercoolers changed under warranty etc. One style has a finned...
Detroit intercooler cools the air after the turbo but before the blower. Aftercooled detroits cool the air after the turbo and blower......
No intercoolers cool the air intake before the air goes into the turbo. Aftercoolers cool the aftercharge or air after it is compressed by the...
