Yes, take both hoses off of the gearbox oil cooler inlet and outlet. Cap one and then take another cap and drill and tap it for a shrader valve...
My thoughts. The filter will not be sucked down if there is no oil, because air is easier to suck or pump that oil to begin with. This leads me...
I wouldn't exactly call that a seatrial. They're in a calm harbor. It would be nice to see it perform in a sea in the video. Something along...
I think I've had it all happen and seen about everything. On one boat about a year ago, the holding tank is plastic and located under the...
You know, honestly. I can walk on a yacht >75' and in an hour or two tell you exactly how the boat was maintained it's entire life. There are so...
Most all anchors also are rated or list their holding power (in lbs) in addition to boat size. The windlass strength is also a consideration in...
You should see when the holding tank gets overfilled, they implode inside and the charcoal gets packed into the vent line and well takes some...
Each sized anchor is rated for it's load or how much weight it is designed to hold (with proper scope).
You actually have a lot of restrictions on the Bering, besides the draft. TIME is going to be a huge restriction. If you're going to make it to...
It depends. On Pedigree boats, such as a Jim Smith SF, Merritt SF, classic Trumphy, a lot of times everyone wants a one owner boat and I can...
I don't mind one anchor. I like a lot of chain, like 300' with a lot of rope behind it, such as another 150-200 yards.
I've had the screen inside of the filter can disintigrate and then the charcoal gets packed into the vent hose blocking it. Quite honestly, I...
I took a boat to Cancun about a year ago without a problem. Several of them before that. I ALWAYS use an agent. Berto- he used to run Hacienda...
Usually about 25' is good on each bridle line. If I'm using a snubber line, I use a long line usually around 30', sometimes more. I've used...
I just figured it all out. You need NUCLEAR power, then you won't need to refuel for 25 years. You can run everything all of the time, the...
Innisfail used to sit on the New River behind a house during the winters I believe. She is a beautiful boat and has beautiful lines.
This is a good method, or I use 30' of Nylon rope hooked to the anchor chain, then I leave a lot of slack in the chain to where it's almost...
They have a 58' Bluewater, they mentioned which is a glorified houseboat.
Both are fine choices. How are you at running a yacht and maintaining/fixing an engine? A single engine trawler will be more of a challenge to...
It was an example I used for hydraulic hoses. Hydraulic steering uses the same hoses in many installations with just a larger diameter. If it's...
