On the car I described the tires would just spin if you gave it full throttle instantly at anything under 90 mph on the street, very similar to...
I agree with this as well. But the difference is, are you looking for best fuel efficiency and travelling at slower speeds (11.4 knot cruise)...
The Fortress are ok as a stern anchor if you go with one larger than recommended and have chain behind them . I bought one for a 64' Hatteras...
Technically you're not chopping the throttles on a race boat after the prop is already unloaded, you bring them back enough to keep RPM's within...
This would be my preferred setup but I'd like more rope behind the chain 150'-200'. I'm not a fan of the floating Fortress anchors (so light...
I believe he is referring to fast acceleration and fast deceleration.
Captain Wampler can do it all for you.
Everything leads me to believe that everything is normal. If you were getting a station wagon effect and had everything closed on the bridge, it...
No need to do either, just look at your inlet air pressure readout and usually it should be under -5, if it's high like -7 or more, you have a...
You can cruise the east coast but are limited by draft and size as to locations and anchoring. Why would you want to work so hard, hire people...
How did the numbers compare on a twin IPS 900/950 installation versus 3- IPS 600's? Weight, cruise speed, fuel burn? What speed are you getting...
I think what you're expressing, just getting soot getting the boat on plane is somewhat normal if you're giving it throttle somewhat fast, what...
The 3116's did have a lot of issues in the early days/onset with aftercoolers leaking and destroying motors, 3126's also (as well as a run of soft...
NO, NO, and NO, not even close. CAT lists a pretty extensive schedule for maintanance for their marine engines. Both engines generally see a...
A major task to a degree, but that's what happens when technology evolves. You have to stay with the current technology or your competitors will...
Providing you have the proper fuel pressure and not dirty fuel filters, it's really pointing to injectors. Everything else appears right. Do both...
What rpm's do the engines reach at WOT, if the boat is a little overpropped, it will cause them to run a little sootier than normal at cruise...
I just ran a 50' Prestige with twin IPS 600 and the boat steered and handled fine on 1 engine when I wanted to maneuver very slowly, like creep up...
I've never run Z drives, but have always been told they need a good bit of getting used to in order to maneuver with them.
Divers here are monthly. Usually $2.50-3 per foot per month, plus zinc prices as needed. A diver is about 1/4 the price of haulout and pressure...
