If you get thrown overboard " I m more likely to get thrown over board from my 12' catboat than from the skylounge of the 70 I run "
Some of the newer classed 50m+ yachts do not have a day tank you could run 24 hours on either. It depends on the build. Another thing I thought...
Yeah well, try putting out a fire in an engine room while in a crowded harbor by yourself on a 70'. Not a good scenario. My theory is safety...
A lot of times northern boats are serviced by their mechanic after a winter layup, they may get launched a week or many later when the owner is...
Not hardly. The City Marina is right next to the Las Olas bridge that has a lot of current and a lot of vessel traffic. Far from an ideal spot...
It looks way overbuilt when looking at how close all of the rib's are in the boat. I'm guessing it came in quite a bit heavier than wood ones and...
Does the City of Fort Lauderdale really need to dedicate a dock to paddle boards? Why leave out the kayaks and jet ski's also?
It the propellors have been re-pitched or the engines still achieve their WOT 2300rpm's fuel consumption shouldn't change much at all with...
It is true that most auto body shops can spray any of those. BUT, a lot of times you're best off bringing it to someone who sprays Awlgrip on a...
It depends what HP rating they are of 8v92's. I cannot remember exactly, but 50-60 gph sounds right. Closer to 60 if they're the higher HP J+Ts...
You can try a zinc chromate spray can primer, and I like the CAT spray paint, but not sure how it would hold up in sunlight.....if you just want...
A 130ish' MY went down off of the Bahamas and was a similar scenario. Rough seas, middle of the night, it did run the day tank out of fuel. When...
Except 12v92's after the first 200 hours are more like 950hp...... Every boat I've ever run with 12v92's seemed to have lost 200hp somewhere after...
I'm wondering why they had a complete loss of power if one engine overheated and melted the bellows. What about the other engine? On one engine...
No, it's good to have water coming in at both the bottom of the tank and near the top. It helps to keep the bad stuff suspended where it goes out...
AND, the Costa Allegra had an electrical fire in the generator room and is floating around dead ship until late afternoon tommorow without...
Couldn't you just have followed the raw water intake hose to the seacock? As for the livewell configuration, does it have a drain high in the...
Don't forget the fuel cooler if so equipped, most blockages start here on Detroits, not sure on MAN's......
It sounds as if the boat is over-propped and over-loaded, which will definately cause high EGT temperatures. You need to take the boat out and...
Yeah, there is a rental business in Key West that has one and rents it for $200 an hour. One of my customers did it and said it's a ton of fun.
