I am assuming this is the low pressure pump? If it is the low pressure pump, you can easily find a substitute as long as it's the same pumping...
So if the vessel had 2 Rule 3700 gph pumps in the engine room, and 2 Rule 3700 gph pumps in the lazarette all on automatic switches, it should...
I said, that I have seen 1 UNIT fail, due to being improperly loaded ( combination of washed liners) and exhaust riser leaking into exhaust ports....
Let me clarify a few things. The manufacturer would have a much better idea of how long they would run before a major overhaul. There is nobody...
What difference would there be if the Captain on a private yacht had the dealer do all of the servicing at the recommended intervals, and made...
That's what I was quoted, but meant to say Commercial boat. Yeah, temperatures remain constant so you have little wear from expansion and...
They are both good choices. I would lean towards the Hatteras over the Ocean Alexander, but they build a nice boat as well. Another one to look...
Or practicing Ebonics, hehehehe
I've also seen a lot of very qualified engineers make mistakes also. Everyone forgets something once in a while. I've seen hose clamps forgotten...
You are tipped at the END of the charter. Everyone usually recieves the same service on every charter, and you work your hardest to provide the...

No, the bait pump was a large one (guessing), but it has been said that a boat yard in Mexico installed it that week, and used the wrong hose size...
Every set of MAN's I've run preferred to cruise at, at least 1850rpm's and more-so 1900-1950rpms. I don't think they meter the fuel well enough...
You can usually find brochures on a lot of different boats on EBAY. Another place to look would be an older BUC book.
They cruise in the low to mid 30's. However, you can always run slower if you'd like, it's kind of hard to run faster then whatever cruise speed...
Yeah, they were so bad (old 60's) at rolling that they added the chines/rails to the hull all of the way down where there hull side met the...
It depends on how you're going to run the boat. John Deere's handle slower rpm's better and are rated to go more hours then the Cummins. The...
This is untrue. I have run and stepped foot on a lot of Asian built yachts. Yes, they build a good boat. However, there are certain area's where...
