One time I saw it shoot out like a guyser as wide as the opening and it shot up 8-10 feet higher then the deck and went all over everyone standing...
I haven't heard of them much before, nor do I know much about them. BUT, I wouldn't automatically assume they're a bad engine. I don't think...
Actually if you have your Captain's license on the vessel's insurance or are insured on the vessel's insurance as a user, which many do who run...
The dripless seals are nice for a dry bilge. Although from what I've seen on two different boats lately, one was a 2000 and the other a 2001....
To elaborate to this. Usually what I see failing mostly is the bronze housing gets a pinhole in it. The entire pump end is usually about 80% of...
I've replaced the pump ends, only to have the electric motor go bad 4-6 months later. Some places will rebuild the centrifigal pump, but it...
I have heard good things about the Globe impellors. Even bought them as spares for 12v71's, but haven't used them. They are actually cheaper...

Very well said Pascal. I'd like to add that even though you get more speed with a cored hull, you can usually rarely run at that speed. I...
Yes I agree, give them a call. You're going to need a certain amount of ocean tonnage over a certain amount of gross tons to upgrade. I would...
I know one thing. I have seen a lot of pictures of cored production boats with major issues in the last year or two. I've never seen a Cabo with...
One of the companies had a bad set of valves from France and they have been blowing out. I cannot remember the manufacturers name with the issue....
Even better, they can overtake the panga's and let them go through the tunnel between the hulls and just harrass them without firing on them.
I have seen A LOT of these fenders having major issues. They don't pop, the material doesn't deflect like normal fenders, and when they have a...
Yes it can make it. Definately get yourself a delivery crew because it sounds like you don't have the experience to safely do the trip. Not to...
