Not necessarily, with sonar, you'll only see a slight rise on the seafloor, maybe a foot a lot of times which could also just be a ledge. How do...
If the other gear is working fine, I'd be inclined to leave it alone till it starts slipping.
Yup I was there in the Exumas both when the 38' Intrepid hit the West end of Big Majors, and also when the 27' (forgot the brand, pursuit...
No, the manifold is on the suction side. generally you have a very large pump (as well as a fire pump (electrical) and engine driven pump that...
Have you checked your fuel filters??? Fuel filters are usually the first cause of performance issues with a diesel.
You do one of those portable induction stoves that you can stick on the counter top. Another option is Kenyon makes 2 or 3 burner glass flat top...
On a 160' and 172' I worked on we ran with 14-16 crew. 14 when the owner was off, but we had guests. 16 when the owner was on which added his...
I agree as to the actually investigating of the sinking. The only one who may actually send a submarine down or investigate the sinking may be...
That a 2012 yacht is worth quite a bit more being a classed vessel (especially being a Brazilian build), than not paying to have a class surveyor...
If you splice it, it probably won't feed through the windlass. However, I would want more, for various reasons.......you can't always plan where...
Not sure how to calulate wind load, but personally I'd like to see a lot more rode behind the chain, around 200' if you have the room for it. In...
The fact that the boat dropped it's Class, leads me to believe that it was not maintained and getting it into shape was more costly than the owner...
I have the exact map with a point on it that was sent to me by someone in the know, but cannot figure out how to load it. Yachtforums says the...
I have worked on classed boats where there was an indicator light on the dash that showed water tight doors being open, such as engine room door....
Where the boat ran aground. This pass that they attempted to go through is pretty much a local knowledge only pass, and they should've gone...
I looks like a RORO whose cargo broke free and shifted.
I believe La March transformers have a switch/knob on the side of them to either lower or boost voltage. Your lower voltage could be a poor...
Well, it seems like these so called "classed vessels" seem to sink pretty darn easy compared to those pesky little sportfish and trawlers you talk...
Class Rules are minimum standards that the builder has to meet. Most all of the yachts from 100-150' I have been on or ran, had other sources of...
I would suggest that the electric bilge pumps, discharge overboard just like they do on smaller yachts, perhaps with a check valve and seacock at...
