It looks good so far. If you get through this season, I'd tend to leave it well enough alone. I've had a gear slip and need to be rebuilt. I've...
I would take it out and run it and see what temps are. Many things could cause a gear temp to get hotter at the dock, like a blockage in the raw...
Yes, the clutches can absorb fluid or moisture and swell. It is common if a gear sits without moving for a long period of time, like a winter...
Orpine is ammonia based and hammers the Awlgrip. I've seen Awlgrip boats lose their shine in 5 years after being religiously washed with Orpine....
Have you tried asking Raymarine? It's supposed to measure vessels movement. I would think the brow of the FB or it appears to be shaped to mount...
Just walk the docks around your area and I'm sure someone will be willing to take you out for free. Sailboaters are like that. You may or may...
A motor, such as a 800 MAN will generally burn the same GPH at the same RPM at cruise, no matter what boat it is in, provided they're both propped...
55-60GPH at cruise for both engines. 28-30 knot cruise. They're a good boat, well built and laid out, were a touch wet whereas the 48' fixed that...
They are very good and also who a lot of engine dealers use to clean their customers heat exchangers and coolers.
The best solution is pulling all of the heat exchangers and coolers and having them professionally cleaned on land by a shop that does that. Most...
Yes, I just installed 2 new Marine Elegance toilets on fresh water flush, and they don't normally store water in the bowl after flushing unless...
Just for the shorepower connection a single 50 amp 240 volt supply or shore power cable would be what I would normally recommend.
The aquatech boat wash is very mild, along the lines of Meguiar's gold or Awlwash. It does not strip wax or anything else and isn't ammonia based.
I have NEVER had to use a priming pump to prime air locked Detroits, ever. Usually try turning over, if airlocked, close valves, top off...
Sounds like a ground issue or a harness issue.
Keep the boat waxed. I like collinite fleet wax. As someone else said Rolloff takes them off easily. BUT, I've found aquatech boat wash takes...
I had it on one boat for a short period of time. It seemed pretty effective. My preference on ablative is Seahawk cu-kote.
I have added a 1" or so spacer (I had the yard do it) on several boats and it made a significant impact on trim on boats that needed it. It was...
The problem with IPS is you lose the head inside the console and storage. You don't gain any efficiency and get less speed. Also 4 outboards...
First, get the sand out of the bow. I would remove the dinghy (guessing around 800 lbs) which is EASY to do, on the stern, and will get you close...
