Chances are you have 2-30amp shore cords. Well you could run part of the boat on 1 shore power cord, if you were running a light load such as no...
I too concur that you need a good surveyor. A good surveyor can take ultrasound readings of the hull thickness, which you want taken about once...
I was doing some work on the boat today, it's a KT19-M3. Single turbo I think. I've run the boat before and honestly I can't quite remember, but...
You can believe they can be condemned from one year to the next. I started managing a yacht way back that had a 3 year old Avon liferaft, well...
Yes, that is true. With Man's you have to do the maintanence every 2 years. To do it on the 1050s it runs about $26k for the pair, regardless of...
Well I can say that the C18 is a great durable engine. There is another thread on engine questions and several people have 5,000-10,000 hours on...
Last I checked Teak Decking Systems was around $130 per square foot.
What engines does it currently have? C18 would be a nice replacement for 12v71's or 12v92's Cat C18= 1015 HP Cat C30= 1500hp (not sure if this...
The CAT C-18's are a good engine, but not sure if they are best suited to a Trawler application. What engine does CAT recommend? I know that the...
Yeah, but you'd have to have a totally seperate bank of batteries and battery charger for the 24 volt bank. The 12 volt is usually achieved by...
Definately not, all of the batteries in a bank should be the same size and volts. The 8volt battery would get fried by the 2-12 volts (less cells)
According to this, it sounds like it was designed to be used in equipment because it's a V12, yet makes the same HP as the C18. So I would assume...
I would have to say that a Genset should see less wear then an engine in a sportfish if the genset is running 24/7 with a load on it. The...
That sounds right. I was told by the Pantropic Cat engine startup guy that the C30 is based on the 3412 (not the C32), and that is a...
Yeah, some engines raise fish much better then others. Diesels also raise a lot more fish IMO then stern drives and outboards. I think CATS and...
I've never run a 50' with the 820 mans, but ran one with the 1050's and it was really fast. The 50' has a great cockpit, great fishing amenities,...
One thing I would check first before the impellor is water flow into the sea strainer. Make sure your seacock works, and close it, take the lid...
I don't think Carver would consider doing a 3 or 4 engine boat and the IPS don't produce enough HP for the size and performance of that vessel in...
What everyone wrote is correct. Heating the bolt with a torch works well, as does tapping it with a hammer and punch before trying to remove it...
LOL, actually all of the wood on the midnight express was actually airbrushed on there and there is no wood at all on that boat. It was very...
