Do you mean these requirements? Entry Requirements: Minimum age 19. 42 months service as a yacht engineer with 6 months accumulated sea...
The bilge pumps are AC powered??????? So if the generator stops running or if the shorepower pops the breaker, you INSTANTLY lose all of your...
It is. I currently manage and run one of the 55' Cabriolets. That was the only Royale ever built.
It would make a lot of sense to have an insulated storage tank that can be kept hot, however that's a lot of added weight to carry around....
Look at the boat and profile from the rubrail up, it is almost exactly the same. The front deck, the house/bridge area has the same profile. The...
It looks like a direct copy of Neptunus 55' Royale which has been out since 2006 with different windows added to the hull......
I am all up for bringing standards up as well, and it should NOT be easy to become an engineer. However, NONE of those positions you listed...
They ask for a Y4 because that is what an MCA Captain knows to ask for, or their insurance company requires. If you have a much higher commercial...
Isn't the Chevy Duramax motor made by Isuzu? Personally I would rather have a widely commercially made marine diesel. It's much easier to get...

Emergency pumps or not. Most 75' I've ever been on had 4 or 5 rule 3700 gph pumps with automatic switches. I'd expect a Nordhaven to have the...

I suggest you drink responsibly before posting here, so that I can understand what you are trying to say in this post referring to me!
If you re-read and comprehend my post, you will see that I used a Gardner diesel as an example because cylinders can be rebuilt while running and...
Hehehee, yeah I sleep in spurts. Well for example, I woke up this morning at 5am, got to the 146' at Bahia Mar at 6:30, ran it to the freighter...
A huge help with this is having 2 large vents, but 1 mounted on each hull side. Then sitting at the dock you'll usually get some cross...
Ohh I don't know. The thing is, I've worked on a ton of yachts lets say 60-80' (mostly as Captain), I've also run several 80'- a 146' I ran...
Considering that every yacht starts it's life out of a 55 gallon drum of resin and matting, or sheets of aluminum or steel, and then has a myriad...
Manatees typically travel in the shallower water outside of the channel and avoid the deeper water. But, in narrow places they are forced to...
