The US Army corp of engineers chart books are cheap enough as well. They're about $30 each and all bound and joined together as an alternative...
I've done the trip and found it to be a pretty easy one, overall. Most of it is following a narrow river where you can't really get into trouble...
I don't understand why there was too much water to have the fuel polished. The fuel polisher's filters should seperate any water and allow it to...
I have almost never dragged anchor in all of the times I've anchored. I always put out A LOT of scope if I'm anchoring overnight. But,...
I've always been VERY impressed with the Carolina Classic 35' express. But they only make an express. In a Flybridge boat, the 35' Cabo FB is a...
Try sticking dynamat to the inside area where the hull slap is. Car audio guys use it quite a bit to stop noise and rattles and it works great.
Pods do have their purpose. I prefer the Zues pods of the bunch. With the rear facing propellors, most of the stuff gets bumped off from the...
It's 2 years or 200 hours on most impellors. I'd recommend changing them on the mains before Season 1, using it for Season 1+2, then changing it...
You're forgetting that recycled Aluminum is worth decent money these days, so the yard would probably make some money if they cut it up.
In this situation, it looks like the lens shattered a long time ago and nobody is picking up the pieces.
I do. IF the vessel see's a very high amount of usage, the crew then is working non-stop during any and every downtime to catch up on deferred...
The weather in the rescue video's didn't look very bad to me for a yacht of Yogi's size. It definately didn't look like it would cause stability...
I was answering Nycap's question regarding the unit freezing in his post above......I realize it is heating. I have seen the compressor unit form...
Once the compressor shuts down, the coils are still very cold and can freeze because the airflow would stop instantly and the fan isn't blowing...
In all the MAN boats I've run, I've never had a major stoppage or any major mechanical issue. They usually are a touch faster and more fuel...
All CATS are noisier than their same sized MAN and MTU counterparts. As with anything, a good installation, exhaust, and sound deadening help a...
Personally I think having the PTO's come off of the main engines is much better than off of an oversized generator. Hatteras has a PTO on each...
Yes, if you get the owners manual for your control you can control the percentage of speed the lowest setting runs at. But they do need to...
The C30's are bulletproof. They were based off of the 12 cylinder block that the 3412's used and CAT has used since 1978. They're a good running...
Double-braid, while it doesn't stretch as much as 3 strand it still stretches quite a bit. I've witnessed a 30' length of 3/4" double-braid...
