Somehow electric boats and aluminum hulls doesn't sound like a good mix to me.
I use fuel drums on deck of various motoryachts at least 3 times a year if not more and never use bladders. I just told the owner of a new 62' MY...
If the Neptunus chillers are original they usually used 2-2.5 ton Marine air chillers with no VFD's.
I just ran a new 66' with everything on, with 8 people staying on board in the exumas without tripping the breaker once on a single 50 amp. We...
I can't speak from experience as I haven't used a yard up there. Thunderbolt comes to mind but has changed hands several times over the years....
On one 55' Neptunus I managed, we had to have the terminal block changed on the main terminal strip where the shorepower came into. It was...
MAN recommends changing the coolant and heat exchanger caps every 2 years. IMO it is crucial on them and I do it religiously on MAN boats that I...
I've never seen a CDL error, usually it's HP, LP or LO AC. Check the pump and check the air conditioning strainer, those usually have to be...
I'm very familiar with the Neptunus' and they are a chiller boat with 2 chillers. I would start by having the chillers cleaned (acid washed)....
On your model, most likely there is an electronic that is removable from the outside. You first remove that, then reach in and remove the...
Thank you, as I had no idea where to get the blue coolant (for top off) that these new MANs are coming with. Both a Fort Lauderdale dealer and a...
I also had another one where the raw water side was relatively clean and the coolant side of the heat exchanger was completely clogged with sediment.
Another option is to make the generator underwater exhaust and only have the bypass air run up the stack. Generally the modern generators run...
Follow the raw water from the pump to various components. I had one Detroit where the first stop was the fuel cooler and it was full of broken...
Tell me about it. I've been dealing with a handful of new European boats in the past year and most have MAN's. All of the Man's have a blue...
Furthest I've been on the bank side is Cave and Musha Cay, then it gets very skinny South of that. I've cut through Galliot cut several times....
Honestly, I would highly consider plumbing the second pump in and having a DC pump. Run the day tanks out of fuel and Lose generators and no fuel...
Was the starboard engine ever overheated? Are they using the Texaco long life antifreeze that is spec'd by MAN?
Pascal- yes the area West of Shroud is exactly the area I was talking about. There is another similar issue like that on the bank side, West of...
I just did the Exumas on a new boat with the Simrads mentioned, and I bought a Navionics+ chip for Central and South America which includes the...
