Whink does an excellent job. Do not use whink in direct sunlight on the glass or if the glass is really hot. Thoroughly wet a few paper towels...
I run a 27' Whaler sometimes also, and it does indeed lean on one side to the other etc. etc...... and you have to trim it.....however it has a...
The good old days, I used to have a 93' Mustang Cobra with 638hp...... Did 140mph from Ft. Pierce to ft. lauderdale with a corvette, bmw, and...
Hey, they ran a few of the boats across land in miami vice....I'll never forget, I was out with this friend of mine and he had a 20' Action with a...
I might be wrong, as it's been a while since I've worked on a 43'. BUT, I think those are 12 volt buss bars installed by Cabo for the sole...
Someone who is licensed is called a Captain Someone who is un-licensed and running a boat, is called an Operator.
You're much better off looking at a 53' Hatteras MY or similar quality boat for the same money. Much better build quality and systems. Taiwan...
If I remember correctly, you have a 43' Cabo. I believe CABO installs a 12 volt battery buss from the factory, on the expresses it's on the...
I second this. An Amplifyer uses a lot of electricity and If you connect to 1 battery out of a 2 battery bank, the charger is going to charge...
I don't know whether he was a Captain or not. But I can tell you, he was going too fast for conditions. In order for a 40' speedboat to end up...
I think they mostly use an expoxy based paint on the inside of aluminum freshwater tanks.
I love managing Azimuts, there is always LOTS of work to do on them. If you buy one, you should know a very good marine electrician on a first...
Me neither. Also adding all of that weight to a boat that is top heavy to begin with would not be fun either. I ran a 58' Yachtfish for years...
I have managed 4 different Azimuts. A 70' Seajet, 2- 68' Plus' and a 50'. They are the most maintanence and repair heavy boats I have ever...
Not to mention parts for Volvo's are expensive and hard to come by. I would lean towards Yanmar also, although I am not familiar with the Steyr....
Well, it's still considerably cheaper to charter someone else's boat, then to ship your own if you're looking at 2 weeks usage on the west coast...
Yes, since no two boats are alike. I have seen it happen two ways. One is they just agree two weeks on your yacht, two weeks on mine. Each...
Exactly as long as it does not effect the Captain directly (such as drugs on board), the captain should see nothing and hear nothing. Basically,...
I have used and hired many deckhands that could either do the normal things in the engine room, or run the vessel in open waters or most...
Another thing to keep in mind for things to work well. You and the captain have to get along well personality wise. Every boat I was full time...
