I'm partial to Northern Lights. I've heard nothing but good things about them. My current set-up is a 20kw and an 8 kw. The 8kw meets most of the...
I'm repowering for the reasons mentioned. Difficulty in finding parts and service, especially for the DDEC electronics. I like the idea of getting...
What do you like about the Sturdy controls? You bring up a good point that I need to look at all the options out there. I should look at Sturdy,...
I have not looked at those or any others for that matter.
I'm getting ready to start a repower of my 54' Donzi (details covered in another thread). I'm going with CAT C-18's and ZF665-A gears. I've been...
I'm going with the ZF 665-A with 1.525:1 ratio. This is the closest ratio I can get to my current 1.6:1. I'm told at WOT at 2300 rpm the shaft...
So I have decided to move forward with the repower project. I'm finalizing some details with CAT but I'm going with the C-18's at 1150 hp (1136...

I appreciate all the input. It would be difficult for me to seriously consider MAN's. Not because they are not good engines but the service and...
Well fortunately I'm in the shipyard business so lots of resources at my disposal. However, we are large commercial, not yacht so a bit different.
Thanks. I do have 10 degree down angle gears behind the 12v92s now. I'll have to look closer at the C-32s and possible remote mounting of items.
Capt Ralph can you expand on your opinion the C32s will fit please? My research shows the C32's at 9" taller and about 10" wider. The Detriots...
Back in 2015 I considered Repowering my 54' Donzi Sportfish when I had a failure with the existing STBD Detriot 12V92TTA. For various reasons I...

So are you saying the pumps are in deed pumping and the problem is elsewhere? Is this boat new to PAC NW area? Has the freezer and ice maker ever...
