In cold and worn engines that didn't have enough compression to ignite all of the fuel when they were cold, the smoke I've always seen was grey...
Well, remove the sea-water hoses for the heat exchanger. Dry the saltwater side of the heat exchanger as much as possible and pump the system...
I think it indicates a blown head gasket and it is getting into the motor. White smoke on startup is generally coolant being burned in the engine.
Let me get this straight. You're looking for crew to pay to move your yacht to different places and maintain it for free? Is this some kind of joke?
I wouldn't even compare the two. The build quality of the Mochi Craft isn't even close to Nordhavn....but I'd prefer Northern Marine over both,...
Not really. A 1650HP C32 acert burns 70 gph at 80% load a 2000hp 16v2000 burns 75GPH at 80% compared to 100 gph??? And both of the motors...
They're great engines with the updates. A knot slower and 5 gph more than the mans.
Which Cats and HP. I'd take the CATS over the MAN's just for ease and cheapness of maintanence. I ran a 50' Post with 820hp Man's and the boat...
Guys, none of this bickering is helping the OP out on his quest to become a superyacht Captain. And it's detrimental to the entire forum. To...
You cannot just buy any old chain and put it on your windlass.... You need to check the drum and verify what style of chain you have. I'm pretty...
The lifeboats would have been a help since the water was very cold and it's likely many people died of Hypothermia. They should have launched...
This is a tragic tragic thing to happen. Hopefully they can rescue almost everyone.
I think differently. When someone screws up they need to have the boat survive so they don't sink. The video I posted a little while ago.....of...
It sounds like this guy and his boat have a black cloud following him. If you want impact tests, just look at the video's of the freighters...
Well, look at Tug boats. You don't see any FRP tug boats. All a tug boat (for the port) does all day is take it's steel hull and smash it into...
