Don't think you're going to get down to 1.5 knots on one gear even with the trolling valves open.
30F I think ANY diesel is going to smoke a lot at that temperature and it's not recommended to even start a diesel under 60F without block heaters...
I'm in the same camp. Generally I see usage of about 30 gallons per day on boats with no cooking (ie very little dish washing) 50 gallons per day...
In all honesty, theres nothing wrong with the 4-71, you just don't and never have come across many in the real world....6-71's you see TONS of,...
I like FCI and they're based on the West coast. I would lean towards something that has a good dealer for them in your area. Watermakers Inc...
I would put the house bank and flybridge bank on a battery selector switch to both the batteries they initially came off of and the inverter bank....

I'm seeing a few issues, but not nearly that often. There's positives and negatives. The computer controlled motors start right up everytime,...
Rcrapps. It depends. In all the years, I can't remember of a single time I had a DDEC engine issue resulting from the ddec stuff. As far as I...
Also air and water temps are pretty cold in Seattle area right now, perhaps it's just the colder temps.....I don't know.
I'm thinking fuel too but I think they would've blown through most of it. If fuel filters are all clean and air filters, I'm leaning towards...
any engine could smoke like that on cold start up if they have not been run in a very long time.
Yes, they can help with the speed by creating more lift if done properly.
It definately looks like a davit, then below it, it looks like the hull side opens to a garage.
If you're going to install them in just the bow, they work. The ones that run all of the way to the stern are to fix an inherent stability issue...
I have experience with 12v2000s and 16v2000s, I know the 10v2000s had major issues when Viking put them in a SF, they took forever to get on plane...
If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys!!!
