The Rule 3700 GPH bait pump does have some sketchy electrical connection that is covered with electrical tape and looks like the wires might be...
That's reasonable to drop the shaft and install the seal.
Woops, meant Bronze fittings......the brass wire wheel made me repeat brass instead of Bronze. Left Baltimore, M.D. Sunday in a 50' boat that...
What did the CAT dealer say about parts availability?
I'm to blame for that one. Over 10 years ago Bamboo was looking for a set of airseps for his engines and I had ended up with a set of almost...
If you want to clean it, you used to be able to find Poco (a mild acid) and it would clean it all off. You could also get a brass wire wheel on a...
Yes, and it's not good for the turbo to come to a sudden halt and the excessive backpressure flowing backwards through a turbine designed to turn...
You anchor and wait for the wind to subside if you cannot dock the vessel safely, you always have options. A buddy of mine was in Hurricane Hole...
This method works perfectly on a boat with a relatively flat bottom, does not really work on a boat with a keel like the 53' Hatteras. What...
Yes wastegate/bypass valve where it re-routes the boosted air around or exhausts it from the intake track. It still puts some pressure on the...
52' Hatteras SF had some 8v92 TA's in them. 62' MY also. 53' Oceans had some mostly early mid 90's boats. 46' Bertrams had them. 61'...
Very bad for the turbo's, even if they have a bypass. The turbo's are putting out a lot of boost at cruise RPM's and when you chop the throttles...
No, we tow all of the time, the big boat breaks down the seas pretty good and the small boat is riding in the prop wash. I even run a 52' Searay...
Yeah, but Ocean put themselves on the map by having the fastest production SF's. That's what they were know for.....flexible flyers......In the...
You can get it on IPS, but it's optional. The boat I'm delivering and sitting on right this minute has Volvo IPS and the skyhook feature. I...
You do NOT want to use skyhook in your slip. It keeps the boat within 1 boat length or around 50' and sometimes does some strong...
Perfect, the hose is most likely 99% sure a 1-1/8" hose as all Rule 2000 bilge pumps use that hose size. You'll be fine with the check valve, and...
I've run 2 sets of 6-71 TA's, one in a 38' Buddy Davis SF and another was a 48' ocean express. They were mid 90's boats. There were also 71...
Hatteras EX comes in at $1.8-$2million, the last Cabo 44's were $1.1-1.15 million new.
The 92's were really hot rodded by the marinizers, most of them had very large injectors and turbo's in retrospect compared to 71 series. The 92...
