I would put a 10 micron in 1 side and a 30 micron in the other side. Run on only the 10 micron side and with clean secondaries check vaccuum at...
I've found that with the 45', if you keep the aft tank full by transfering fuel foward as you burn it, it runs fairly dry, not totally dry but...
Most of the Hatteras' I've ever seen in that size and year range already have extensions put on making up for the lack of an aft deck/cockpit/swim...
I've always gone by pressure and have run them 800-850 psi, or less to keep the flow rate where it should be at maximum. For example if you're in...
My comments about DD not maintaining temperature was strictly related to the old 71 and 92 series......I consider the newer ones MTU, since...
Glad to hear you're happy so far!
A full displacement does not have the length to do 15 knots or be capable of doing that, a full displacements hull speed at 49' probably would not...
Yes, but if I remember correctly your boat has Awlgrip paint, which should never be waxed, nor does Awlgrip need wax for longevity. Gelcoat OTO...
Part of that I believe is that Detroit Diesels don't do a very good job at maintaining proper operating temperature at under 1000 rpms, so taking...
If you've got 150 hours on your 30 micron racors, I'd go ahead and switch to 10 micron racors as your fuel seems clean enough to not have an issue...

How can she be "paying a few thousand a year" and be in the 35% tax bracket? 35% of $379,150 per year would be $136,494.00, that sounds like a lot...
The oil goes through your pump, that is how it pumps the oil to 2200 psi. There is no resevoir on his pump, but the pump is mounted to the...
Why do you have this concept that because someone makes more, the government should take more? If someone works harder, and makes more money for...
Sorry, I missed the price point. In that price, I'd be looking at a big Hatteras. I ran a 75' MY (was origionally a 65' with an extension put on...
A racor filter typically uses the bottom 1/2 or so of the filter at first and as it becomes clogged, the fuel level in the racor works it's way up...
What do you mean by engine liners? The head area is still a liner on the 44. The salon area does not appear to be a liner and there is a...
The older NAIAD system that was on the 75' Hatteras used 10w-40. This is what NAIAD told me to use in it. The system would have been installed...
Income Taxes: The top 2% of wage earners pay 57% of the total federal income taxes paid in the U.S. The top 5% of wage earners pay 68% of the...
