Cabo didn't have a profit or sales issue, they had a build efficiency issue once they were moved to New Bern. It literally took 50% more Man...
Yeah, but you have to blame Ocean. They held the candle on the fastest production SF line till about 2000 when they failed to update and come out...
No, I know of several yachts towing them. I think Scout makes a better all around tender 30'<, a lot better seating arrangements and etc.
Yes, they have o-rings for the cylinder heads and if the coolant isn't changed religiously every 2 years they can leak and you need a rebuild. If...
Also pull off the air cleaners every oil change and check the turbine for end play (movement side to side) and check the inside of the housing to...
Someone would be MUCH better off buying an early 2000's 50' Post (or similar) with more modern power, much more fuel efficient and 26 knot cruise...
You'd have to, to keep up with all of the oil leaks! I had a 6t-354 and it was a great motor, but sure leaked oil.
I don't see any reason to go South of Staniel and have had several times.
The bearings and seals. Sometimes if the bearing has gone bad the housing needs a core or to be machined.
Diaprahm pumps don't have nearly the volume of a Rule 2000, plus the ends usually break off after a year or two. A checkvalve at the thru hull or...
If I remember correctly, CAT did re-brand them and sell them in the U.S. for a VERY short time period and very few and they didn't go over very...
Ideally, no it should not be used that way. They are designed to have 1 wire of the proper size of the butt connector in each end to gain a...
It looks to be a 2000gph Rule.
M=miles (statute) NM- Nautical Miles =1.15 statute miles
I find heatshrink butt connectors to be the best method for connecting bilge pump wires.
1/2 of the time it's not the bilge pump or float switch on those types of boats, even on yachts. Most of the times it's the poor wire connections...
It's not that it's illegal to do that. It's the fact that most insurance companies require recreational boats be maintained to abyc standards and...
Try selling that to the insurance company when you have to have an insurance survey done every 3 years on most recreational boats.
It probably had either a loop above the waterline OR a checkvalve at some point in time. Someone probably replaced the bilge pump and buggered up...
I wouldn't put wire nuts on ANYTHING on a boat. I use heatshrink butt connectors on everything inside and out. The heatshrink helps prevent...
