Might be easiest to just change the transformers to AC to DC converters.
AC no, but then again I've never ever seen 24v ac g 4 lightbulbs either, just 12 volt ac. Hatteras uses a AC to 24v DC converter, usually Newmar....
You're splitting hairs and inaccurate. The 2 stage chiller on the Viking you refer to IS NOT ONE CHILLER. It is two seperately functioning...
The thread is talking about yachts and so was the op in it. He had a 46 FOOT Post remember, and Pascal a 53 FOOT Hatteras MY. Not some 100 meter...
The old Viking 75's were built by a company that is best known as Lazzara. They were pretty well built, but not as good as a Hatteras. I used to...
To add to this. There is no such thing as a 2 stage chiller and 3 stage chiller. They are totally seperate chillers that the water loop goes...
You get what you pay for. Viking is a very good builder as well. Since they're aren't any 10 year old Viking USA built MYs, I didn't mention...
Not sure totally. A 63' Ocean I used to manage had the solenoids mounted on the foward bulkhead of the engine room. They weren't too expensive,...
The 92' Viking has 2 6 ton chillers for a total of 12 tons of air conditioning. See page 20, the first line under MECHANICAL. " Air...
A lot more expensive to go chilled water. Routing all the chilled water lines and insulating them would be A LOT of labor in your boat. Plus I...
The build quality on the Hatteras is far above the Euro brands overall. Just go look at 10 year old motoryachts. I just got off a 2006 Hatteras...
Just put the LED bulbs in and be done with it. Transformers won't get hot with the little draw of the LED bulbs. I was just on a boat today...
No, the fluid generally bypasses when the tabs reach full extension. Yes, you can add TT indicators if you have bennett's, not sure about the...
Absolutely. I would want my family and friends to be as safe as possible. You should have enough seatime to get your 100 ton masters. I think...
I've had to send several Newmar battery chargers back to Newmar for cooking batteries. One 6 months old, but usually when Newmars go bad, they go...
A LOT more than buying a non floating waterfront condo!
I would think that's normal. If it comes on when nobody flushes a toilet then you have a leak somewhere.
Not sure. Have you had to add drive oil recently? Does the oil look clean and not milky? How long has it been since the oil has been changed?...
Hard paint is a lot more effective than Ablative from what I've seen. I too get 3 years out of a bottom job on 1 boat with hard paint. I prefer...
Yeah, it's amazing how much speed you pick up when you strip a bunch of old layers of paint on. Nobody thinks of how much each one of those...
