I believe the new VDO gauges have a 4" face and the old ones like you had were slightly larger like 4 3/8" and that you have to get a bezel made...
Try Lauderdale Speedometer in Fort Lauderdale, they are a VDO dealer and have a lot of NOS VDO gauges like you're looking for.
10 gph at 8 knots is the same fuel burn you'll get on the Viking at the same speeds. The MANs can be a little pricey to maintain and can be a...
Running any yacht at hull speed and diesels at 800 or 1000 rpms will result in your best fuel economy. A set of 1050 mans probably burns 6 gph at...
I really like St. Maartin and St. Barts and some of the surrounding islands. If you're stuck because of weather, there are tons of things to do....
That's not always true with wire size. If the run is longer, you'd need 12 gauge or even 10 gauge to carry the same 15 amp load. Also some...
A cockpit really makes a motoryacht. Makes it much easier to board when stern to, much easier to get lines, carry things, swim/dive/fish. I ran...
LOLOL, this reminds me of a 54' Bertram I ran a few times many years ago. It had 6500 hours without rebuilds. When you started it, it would grey...
The 54' I ran with 12v92's didn't do any better on speed than a 12v71 boat. It only had a hardtop as well. It would do 23 knots at 1900...
A 63' Hatteras MY with stabilizers (early 2000s) would be in your price range. It would do ok in 3-5' and be a little uncomfortable in 4-6', but...
I've run lots of different Hatteras, but never a 68' SF. I'll ask a friend of mine who I believe has run one.
What 68' Hatteras? Sportfish, motoryacht? What year range are you looking at, because 68' does not ring a bell with me at all and I've run tons...
I have seen additives such as those from Diesel Kleen help considerably on boats that seldom move. That being said, I've managed 10+ yachts at...
I believe those Attwood lights are going to project a narrow beam more like headlights or a flashlight and not what you're looking for. Try...
Yeah, it's a good idea so you don't get condensation in the fuel tank.
I would replace the fuel filters annually. Turn off the fuel for the winter? It's real easy to shut a few valves so you might as well.
No I think he wants the ones that mount on a flat surface (not recessed). I know what you're looking for but don't know who makes them. Call...
They are expensive, like $80 each and if I remember correctly each motor takes 2. Buy your oil filters from MTU as well if not just for piece of...
It looks like a Grebe motoryacht, other than that I know nothing.
