I like the Chevron (formerly texaco) extra heavy duty 40w........ They're good engines overall, but smoky on startup and stinky at trolling...
The sweet spot I've seen is usually around 1950 rpms on these. Yes it can be run lower speed and cuts out 1 side of the motor when the turbo's...
1. A lot of Hatteras' will have blisters under the waterline. Are they a big deal IMO, usually not. When they get to a certain size you just...
303 would probably do a good job. BUT so far I'm very happy with the IMAR products for it, and they are endorsed by Stamoid (Ferrari textile) and...
UPDATE: the Orange gojo did not seem to do much of everything. All of the IMAR products are endorsed by Stamoid I used the IMAR...
It's a pretty straight foward swap out. The unit will have a tag on it with the serial number and model number. Dometic is located in Pompano...
It's not just the product, it's mainly the painter and the prep work that determines the final product as well as the weather. There are a lot of...
Yes, however most of the marina's are not suited for liveaboards.....ie. they don't have shorepower and such, they're mostly geared to smaller boats.
Those Vikings tended to run very stern heavy. If you cannot install a larger tab. I have had Aluminum blocks made that went between the ram and...
Another thing I can add. Whatever paint you decide to go with, choose the painter that uses it as their main go to paint, or the one they use 90%...
Wipe the oil pan with a diapher, make sure everything is clean and use a mirror. I just had to change the oil pan on one of those engines and it...
So far one of my detailers has told me to use Orange Gojo with pumice degreaser with a majic eraser. I have bought the 3 different IMAR...
In rare cases the rubber part of the impellor could break free from the bronze hub it is molded to. The bronze hub will spin, but the rubber...
I have not heard of Hatteras Yachts using Alexseal, I'm not saying it is not true. When I was at the factory they were using Awlgrip which was...
You're going to have to haul the boat to change the impellor. You're going to have an impellor in the lower unit of the outdrive. Change both...
dead algae in fuel tanks is always in the bottom just like in the racor bowls.
The fuel tank pickups always pickup fuel from the bottom of the tank, algae grows on the sides of the tank and in the fuel itself. When the fuel...
I've run both a 50' Hatteras and 2-54' Hatteras. I've also run just about all the different sportfish over the years. The 50' was a 2004 with...
Again, I wouldn't bother polishing the fuel. Buy extra filters, put the Diesel kleen additive in there and run it as low as you can. Polishing...
