A lot of the sportfish builders do not install sea-strainers and rely on the screens, it saves them a lot of expense and they rely on the external...
It is definately possible and in your price range. The 36' Hatteras can be had in your price range is a stout boat and roomy in size and can be...
On the smaller yachts, most of these never get worked and are frozen from what I've seen. The large seacocks are stiff to begin with and the...
There have been MANY people that have marinized automotive/truck diesels over the years, that have come and went and are no longer in business....
That is correct. They look like a very large rod holder, and usually there are several of them, and you have a constant water flow from the...
All of the 55' Neptunus have 4- rule 3700gph pumps, for sure. 1 for the foward bilge, 1 3700 fwd engine room, 1 3700 rear engine room, and 1 3700...
I agree with this. Nordhavn portrays an image of a ship designed to cross oceans and they put themselves on the map with their 46' crossing...
Yes, but is an AC pump going to work when the wiring is submerged? Is the inverter going to work when there is 2' of water in the engine room? If...

The bilge pumps are AC powered??????? So if the generator stops running or if the shorepower pops the breaker, you INSTANTLY lose all of your...
It is. I currently manage and run one of the 55' Cabriolets. That was the only Royale ever built.
It would make a lot of sense to have an insulated storage tank that can be kept hot, however that's a lot of added weight to carry around....
Look at the boat and profile from the rubrail up, it is almost exactly the same. The front deck, the house/bridge area has the same profile. The...
It looks like a direct copy of Neptunus 55' Royale which has been out since 2006 with different windows added to the hull......
I am all up for bringing standards up as well, and it should NOT be easy to become an engineer. However, NONE of those positions you listed...
They ask for a Y4 because that is what an MCA Captain knows to ask for, or their insurance company requires. If you have a much higher commercial...
Isn't the Chevy Duramax motor made by Isuzu? Personally I would rather have a widely commercially made marine diesel. It's much easier to get...
To start, I am not doubting your skills (nor ever was) as a marine engineer, experience, or belittling you. However, there is a huge difference...
Remove the hose from the tank and blow it with compressed air, you could even have someone outside at the vent to listen for it. You'll know...
