I've never seen the slime....Are you sure it's not algae that got killed by the antifreeze? One of the boats I manage a 27' Whaler.....the fresh...
Are you sure they didn't just use large self tapping screws? Most are put in with self tapping screws.
Forget that......just dealing with the sheer weight of carrying that stuff in and out of engine rooms is enough of a deterrant.
The boat.....
It would be easiest to do them both at the same time if the funds allow.....much less downtime....and a little less labor......
No. thats pretty good. What condition is the other motor in? These 16v92 DDECS were rebuilt/majored at 1050hrs, and 835hrs later, the stbd...
You've got her looking really nice compared to when you bought her. But you're going to really have to raise the waterline to accomodate all of...
Why Man's at 1000hp then Cat's? I would go C18 at 1000hp over the MAN's for that boat all day, everyday. That would be the easiest choice of the...

The 3406E became the C18 Caterpillar (with some minor changes of course). I would go with 4 cycle for many reasons. Not sure on the budget...
If they were using it for security that would be one thing. But using your license for advertising is another thing. It's like all of the...
You're lucky the marina's are still open. LOL...... Hynautic makes their own fluid. But you can use green antifreeze.....about 25% antifreeze,...
It's the caulking. Take a small tie wrap and run it push it along the seam, you'll find there will be large area's you can stick it right through...
I've found that bleeding the binnacles at the upper helm usually does the trick. Typically the air works it's way to the top. If the system...
