Depend on definition of "motor yacht." Often, that's used to describe an aft-cabin layout, usually with no cockpit, usually with a forward...
Your budget is way (way!) out of my league, but... in light of your experience to date and commitment to learning as you go forward... I think...
Our current galley has a two-burner glass cooktop. Not induction. Works well, but I'd prefer induction when/if replacement becomes necessary......
Ah. I actually meant marine electronics installation specialists; must be some in your area. Not retails stores. Most (or at least many)...
The first easiest step might be to call your local Garmin (or other brand, if you like) installer guru, and ask him what units (if any) are...
FWIW, there are apparently two different Fisher companies. I gather one manufactures covers from canvas, and the other offers covers of...
Check your starters to see what minimum cranking amps are required. Might be stated as CCA, MCA, whatever... but then be sure what you shop for...
Perhaps a variable valve timing thing, where the main 8-cylinder (for example) propulsion diesel only runs on 6, 4, or 2 cylinders when load...
Sub-divide the overall idea into sub-systems: - engines (including seacocks and strainers) - genset (ditto) - air conditioners (ditto) - fresh...
Outside stern of the boat (transom), right side (starboard), probably within about 5 inches below the rub rail. Not a "plaque" but rather a...
I don't see any pricing info on their site... any clues to cost? Or have I just overlooked it? -Chris

Our NovaKool fridges are both AC and DC. They use DC compressors, and the AC mode is essentially only a power supply that converts available AC...
Agree, likely water flow. One pump probably feeds two ACs, and since both are acting up water flow seems like a likely place to start...
OB, you are way out of my league... But I can tell you length/beam/tonnage doesn't particularly influence my idea of boating, or not. I...
What brand gauge? -Chris
In the Chesapeake, perhaps Baltimore Inner Harbor area. Several viable marinas with floating docks and HIGH piles, building provide wind...
Are you actually out of "air TV" (VHF, UHF) antenna range? If not, can't you simply by-pass the Direct TV equipment using a AM/FM/TV antenna?...
Old-ish thread, but... Of the "convertibles" I've been on or seen... the helm is also aft-ish, with good visibility and even "hand-down" access...
FWIW, I'd guess his "cruise" speed is probably somewhere between 16-23 kts, depending on all the various factors. Our "convertible" (so labeled...
