That's not an entirely bad idea. Perhaps something with just a little more seaworthiness than a houseboat and diesel for fuel economy. You can...
If 4 people board my boat with knives in hand and are un-welcomed. I am not going to assume they are boarding me to just borrow some eggs and...
It's just a very overpriced white filter with a ZF logo and the part number.......no other markings.
Why not just use the ZF filter??? It's $16,000 to rebuild one of those gears, start to finish. Just the oil pump alone in that gear is close to...
I tend to agree with everyone else about not complaining and do what you do until you are fully licensed. Find more things to maintain or pick...
The facebook listing of it, someone in the comments said the vessel had a serious fire on it.
I personally wouldn't use Fram on my lawnmower, let alone a ZF gear. If you want to save money, take the fram number to Napa and have them...
Wix gold or Napa Gold is good as well.
You don't, yours has remote mount filters and not the internal scraper. However I think it still has a screen somewhere that should be cleaned...
I would check intake water flow first at the seacock or sea strainer, then check raw water impellors/pumos before tearing apart...
Nothing that a 12 gauge with OO buck wouldn't make short order of!
You won't see any color as the color comes from usually unburnt fuel in an engine. However gears tend to get condensation in the gear and don't...
It's not a matter of that. When you back the throttles down, it stops sucking a lot of water and sucking the boat towards the shallow area and...
No, not from that. If you are in the channel and it is shallow.....say you draw 8' and it is 10' deep and to your starboard side it is really...
I have seen this boat firsthand 5 years ago maybe less, and it belongs in a fire pit. It has been in derelict condition for a long time. The...
Jim, what I'd recommend is chartering. First come up with Olderboaters list of what you must have on board, and what you really want and need....
No, if it gets shallow on one side of the hull at displacement speeds, the propellor on the shallow side will have a tendancy sometimes to suck...
Also, if there is electrolysis from a neighboring boat or your own, it will burn the paint off of the metal in a week.
All wood (plywood), both hull and superstructure. They did build 1 PT boat totally out of Aluminum. BUT, PT boats weren't built to last. They...
What I cannot understand is, why is it a wood hull and aluminum superstructure, it would make a lot more sense if it was the other way...
