In a following sea, of 4' it would ride on the side of the keel and felt like the side of the hull as well and surf for about 300 yards and then...
It was a 50' Ocean Alexander MK1, like this one http://www.**************/boats/1981/Ocean-Alexander-MK-I-2832048/Nanaimo/Canada#.VZ9PH5ezqT8
I ran a 1978 50' Ocean Alexander that you're talking about with a FB. It came from the factory at 50', didn't have a cockpit. As weird as the...
I am one of only 2 Captains that the shipping company he is using, uses for all of their loadings and unloadings. If you're shipping it from the...
It depends. It depends on where the yacht is located on the ship and what kind of ship. On dockwise, you have more of a chance of getting sooty...
Why don't you get the same mechanic out to check your issue?
Mainly the owner and people who the owner hired to supervise the build were the issue. The boat is very top heavy, they kept adding weight up top...
Northern Marine did and has built some excellent boats. I would say their build quality was on par with Nordhavn most of the time (depending on...
I'm not saying Nordhavns are not a great boat, they are. But between the installation of all equipment, and all of the warranty issues and...
1989 manifolds, even if origional are far past their life expectancy even in freshwater. You're talking 26 years old. Given the age, the exhaust...
You do realize that after a Nordhavn is shipped to the US, it takes them about a year of warrantying lots of stuff to get them right for the...
I had an owner that had one. He ran it all of the way down to the virgin islands and back, all over the place. He liked it so much he bought a...
I think the plans the owners went with and what they wanted in a boat is part of the problem. It looks to be very top heavy.
If it's a gas engine, absolutely change all manifolds and risers. It's recommended you do them every 5 years in saltwater, not sure what the...
10amps for the entire boat? That's way to small. You're going to want AT LEAST 10amps per bank, if not more.
Have them surveyed. Check to make sure valve adjustments have been done as well as all of the normal servicing AND updates. If the aftercoolers...
Also try running it with the fuel tank cap off (if water won't get into the tank) or very loose. I've seen a clogged fuel vent cause lack of...
I doubt it, but you never know. Big nut/small nut you still have 2 nuts. Just guessing, I think the Keyways might be too long and the nut drives...
Smaller nut goes on first. I always lap the props when I put them on, Put them on with the nut a bit loose and spin them with valve grinding...
It's really going to depend on the yacht you get a job on. A yacht in AUS might not even need a med form or might want something totally...
