I am actually. Anyways, let me put this into really easy terms for everyone. The total weight of the boat (however you want to measure it),...
I agree that Kiwi's method is spot on and probably the best way to do it. Weld Aluminum bar stock to the hull blocking all holes penetrating the...
I have seen some helms that the piston have a spring to make it return and that has gone bad. That is another very possible piece to look at.
Or, everyone was led to believe that!
If that cooler fails it could definately blow the gear oil into the crankcase. I believe the cooler has a series of coils that the gear oil runs...
If you look at the picture in the link I posted, it is sitting very bow down. Still floating, but several feet bow down.
It happened a long time ago. Syncrolift collapses, Sacajawea falls in river
Yes, take both hoses off of the gearbox oil cooler inlet and outlet. Cap one and then take another cap and drill and tap it for a shrader valve...
My thoughts. The filter will not be sucked down if there is no oil, because air is easier to suck or pump that oil to begin with. This leads me...
I wouldn't exactly call that a seatrial. They're in a calm harbor. It would be nice to see it perform in a sea in the video. Something along...
I think I've had it all happen and seen about everything. On one boat about a year ago, the holding tank is plastic and located under the...
You know, honestly. I can walk on a yacht >75' and in an hour or two tell you exactly how the boat was maintained it's entire life. There are so...
Most all anchors also are rated or list their holding power (in lbs) in addition to boat size. The windlass strength is also a consideration in...
You should see when the holding tank gets overfilled, they implode inside and the charcoal gets packed into the vent line and well takes some...
Each sized anchor is rated for it's load or how much weight it is designed to hold (with proper scope).
You actually have a lot of restrictions on the Bering, besides the draft. TIME is going to be a huge restriction. If you're going to make it to...
It depends. On Pedigree boats, such as a Jim Smith SF, Merritt SF, classic Trumphy, a lot of times everyone wants a one owner boat and I can...
I don't mind one anchor. I like a lot of chain, like 300' with a lot of rope behind it, such as another 150-200 yards.
I've had the screen inside of the filter can disintigrate and then the charcoal gets packed into the vent hose blocking it. Quite honestly, I...
I took a boat to Cancun about a year ago without a problem. Several of them before that. I ALWAYS use an agent. Berto- he used to run Hacienda...
