I second the Hatteras recommendation, Also the newish 72' is a VERY well thought out and nice yacht.
I leave a bromine tablet in each one. It neutralizes anything that could cause odors in shower water.
I would definately rule out freezing and heat. I would have to say it sat in gasoline or some other similar chemical to soften the plastic like...
I happen to know a lot about engines as well. I have rebuilt and built several gas engines in race car applications and automotive applications....
Yeah all of the time, I shut one engine down and run the other one at 70% load way outside of it's torque curve and have at it every chance I get....
Most of the MAN's I have run are 1995 and newer. I believe they are the V8 ones, but haven't paid much attention and couldn't say for certain....
I feel that my post was informative and that you're normal everyday yacht owner would understand. I think that you're a little out of touch with...
I agree totally, and have very similar experience. I run about 300 different yachts a year, and in a variety of situations. Sometimes running 4...
From what I have seen, when MAN engines are out of warranty most owners are doing the maintanence by engine hours, not by the MAN every 2 year...
I can only imagine the smell of hot turds coming out of a yachts exhaust. Somehow I cannot see it being too appealing, and then cleaning turd...
Do the IPS pickup the seawater from the drive itself for the engines? Could it be a blockage inside of the drives? I'm not too familiar with the...
No I was talking about going from Pamlico sound to the marina's inside Oregan inlet via that channel on the west side of the oregan inlet. I...
Bell canada offers satellite tv and a lot of canadian boats use it. You need to change the LNB in the dish. I have a bell canada lnb if you need...
Check the air filters also, try running without them if they won't suck up debris......I ran a boat with Volvo's one time that some less than...
At his stated speed of 11 knots, that's about 14 hours. Not including any slowdowns for passing boats or a bridge. That can make for a very long...
Since you stated that the overheating issue started occuring since a trip to Key West. It might be possible that some of that fine sea-grass that...
No because it is designed to see 70% load at a much higher rpm, than it is currently seeing on 1 engine that matches it's torque/hp curve. The...
I disagree with some points. If an engine is designed to achieve 2500 rpms at full throttle/load in a twin engine installation. If you run the...
I agree, I would take the ICW with that scenario regarding the boat size and speed. While we're on the subject, has anyone taken Pamlico...
32 volts is no big deal really. Most parts can still be found new if needed.
