Try changing the fluid with a different brand of oil of the proper weight (probably 40wt) and turn the scraper on the filter! They might have put...
I honestly don't think an owner could digest everything in one 3 hr session. I usually think it takes 2 days and not back to back....... one day...
During any interview I've ever gone on back when I was a mate, the Captain always offered and some insisted on me looking at the crew quarters....
The 6-71's are considered the best engine that DD made. They are going to smoke a little at start up and such, but once warm aren't usually any...
I agree, definately take the coast guard auxillary course, which will teach you all of the fundamentals about safety, rules of the road,...
I agree with this totally. Also, if it's a 55kw, it is WAY too big for that size vessel and will never run anywhere near full load and live a...
I think it would be a great idea to run the boat North. But why not head North with the season. Spend a month in the South. GA, Hilton Head,...
I don't, but don't see a problem with towing a 24' behind a 55'. I would guess you'd slow down about 2 knots.
I wouldn't trust that for this application, it will probably work long enough to get you home. But I would change it ASAP. The breaking strength...
There is a yard on the west side of Lake Okeechobie that is cheap. It's fairly close to the Lake on the Caloosahatchie river and if I remember...
Is the cost in fuel and time to run the boat from Miami to Ft. Myers going to make up for the cheaper dockage? Why do you need the vessel...
Could the shaft tube be binding or twisting when being put in gear? Without seeing it, it's hard to figure out whats going on or how to fix...
I went to the Miami center for my renewal and they didn't even ask to see my TWIC card. Nor a copy of it for my renewal. They did do...
The test has not changed much. But, if you have the proper seatime all you have to do is submit it. Which is much easier, but taking the test...
Is there any side to side movement of the shaft to the coupling housing or to the coupling housing to transmission?
Whatever the case of knowledge may be with C4ENG. None of this judgement and judging is beneficial to helping C4ENG with the problem he is...
Ozone machines do indeed work, but you don't want to spend anytime in the space of that size searay with the machine on. Change the holding...
Marmot, regardless of what C4ENG position is on the vessel. There is no need to go on with this dialogue of what he should and shouldn't know and...
You also can't on always having the lake (okeechobie) deep enough to get your boat out of there, for a year or two sometimes also!
The turbo's on MAN's are not water cooled. They are lubricated and cooled by the engine oil. The expansion tank cannot be filled to the top...
