I would recommend having an automatic pump like the rulamatic (the square one that has a built in float switch, not the one that cycles on every 2...
Yes, I had this done on a 1988 65' (that was extended to 75') nice straight up staircase. We didn't have to remove any bulkheads or anything. I...
There is no way it is that narrow at the waterline at the beamiest point. maybe right at the waterline, but then there is the 5" lip of hell that...
I'm pretty sure my buddy bought your boat, possibly from you around 12 years ago.
It sounds like you're just pissing in the wind and throwing money at it. You need to get a Yanmar tech out with the yanmar computer.
The new Westerbeke's are junk, ever since they switched over to the electronic control panel. Issue after issue after issue with the electronics....
At 1.46" which is what Covington set them up at it runs crystal clean, no visible smoke at any RPM.
Yeah, but none of the marinizers kept them factory HP until the DDECs and Penske came along made them stop tinkering with them......Covington made...
It sounds to me like the threaded holes were installed for a cover plate because it threw a rod. The holes you're describing do not sound factory...
I've seen many TI's around 735 hp.
I'll start out by saying I manage Yachts, about 10 of them, have been doing so for 15 years, and all of the owners I work for I've worked for a...
Usually yes, it's the easiest as a Captain's cell phone is being used half of the time for boat's business anyways.....calling marina's, calling...
I'd rather replace them with C18's. hehehe
I have a customer with a 50' Post and Man's, it's a very good combo. Fast and fuel efficient. He has almost 5800 hours on these engines with no...
and that's at 1850-1900 rpms, those figures I posted......1950 will get you 27.5 knots usually with a clean bottom and no dinghy on the bow and 60...
Because the engines are rated at 2300 rpms/100% throttle/ 100% load. So the boat is under propped a little and underloaded. Which is what MAN...
No, you cannot weld cast iron. I've seen people drill and tap and screw a plate over a hole in Detroit Diesels before......I would NEVER do this....
Those are all perfect numbers. I like to see 2350 rpms on Man's even when they're rated at 2300.
As a whole no. Very very few 50's built with Cat's. BUT, the MAN's are an excellent fit. 26 knot cruise at 55 gph, they're smooth and quiet and...
I'd step up to a 50' Post with Man's. It's a far superior boat in every aspect and a heck of a lot more room.
