Without a doubt the best system is headhunter. Problem, besides the price, is that from the head it has to go downhill to the tank. This means...
engine and engine control issues are usually best addressed by engine specialists for that brand. Boats are not like cars. Builders use different...
Interesting... could it be a old sportfish chopped into a CC? Been done with express. Low freeboard though.
Station wagon effect? Still doesn’t explain why the detector didn’t go off early. Maybe it was too old. These things need to be replaced. i...
Who knows... you can’t trust any press report these days anyway. The “reporter” even failed to mention what kind of boat it was. I don’t really...
they re like the C32s and I think all other modern cats. Closed cooling system with seawater in the HE, AC, gear and fuel cooler etc the 3412s...
That’s why I feel the recommendation for the upgraded design is just a legal CYA. The few car specialists I talked to agree.
The 3412E didn’t have the issue. The ones I ran were 13 years old and had 5500 hours when the boat sold.
Check out Scott pumps. That’s what we had on the 84 and now the 116. Very good pumps both for the loop and sea water. I replaced the sea water...
I agree with J. 10 tons isn’t enough to keep the boat cool during the day in summer time... at night you ll be ok but not during the day. What...
Can you easily get to the discharge ? If so put in a tee and a couple of valves. Route one leg of the tee to a 5 gal pail. Flip the valves to...
It s nuts. On the boat i run we went from $16k for a 2009 84 Lazzara to $51k for a 2005 116 Lazzara valued only 500k more. Same crew, same...
Tough one... it s mostly a case of Cat CYAing themselves most likely because of lawyers. Yes the original design had issues but these were fixed...
The faults you mentioned have very different causes. Low pressure is obviously just that but if you ve had the system serviced then they should...
It could. Or corrosion or loose cable somewhere along the way. Check the starter terminal
Probably accurate then of course the question is how much load are you actually using. That’s why I m ASSuming an average of 60% load on some...
Or maybe a pair of rebuilt 3412Es @1450hp
first sentence is spot on. Docking a 50, 60, 70 twin screws is the easy part. It’s the systems which will be the hardest thing to learn. The...
Generator are pretty consistent. I used 1.75 GPH on the 27 KWs. On my 15KW I average 1.25. So far on the “new” boat I m going to try 2.5 GPH...
It depends on what it is being used for. Cameras? Internet? Chances are the switch is close to the helm and wherever all the electronics are...
