By "he wrote", do you mean the chap you mentioned in post #12, who owns the same boat? That would be a fantastic source of comparable info, if he...
Thanks folks, sounds good. I'll report back next week about the actual results. Fuel burn aside, I'm curious to check also how the boat performs,...
Just for the records, the outboards in the boat I'm referring to are 4 stroke (F225TXRA, V6, 3.35 liters, according to the papers). By and large,...
If you don't mind me taking advantage of the much higher experience that most of you folks have on this type of boats, I would appreciate if...
Nope, it's being a boater per se that is enough to make you brain dead - as the rest of us, mind! :D
I'd be also curious to just understand what the boat name is. From the OP photo, she looks line N80-01, but even in the following better image...
And if they weren't heavily patented, I would think. Just saying - I'm as skeptic as anyone, but I wouldn't assume they are bad just because...
That stands to reason, the boat looks like she's ready to enter a boat show! Congratulations for an outstanding job. It just seems that the port...
Thanks God this ain't twitter. I agree it's not your job to convince me of anything, but neither it is to post ironic replies and wrong...
Can you link any MAN sheet specifying a requirement to use block heaters - let alone keeping them on 24/7? In all their engines (yours 1550...
How can you tell they are? And are you sure they are analogue? The D12 are electronically controlled (EVC, in Volvo jargon), and their...
Actually, if wired properly, the inverter shouldn't trip the GFCI even if permanently bonded. My Victron inverter is, in fact - also because one...
They should pay me a quite substantial amount of money, to go cruising on that thing. o_O
Sorry if this comes across as an attempt to teach grandma how to suck eggs, but it seems to me that you should give that anchor a bit stronger...
Mantus and Rocna are two of the "new generation" anchors that often spark endless debates in forums, youtube video comparisons, and whatnot. My...
Glass tube fuses are rather common in Europe, though not so much in boats, but they are mostly 6x30mm, rather than 27. Besides, what is unusual in...
Absolutely. And neither is Selene, in several ways - this is the only point on which I can agree with ES. But suggesting a GB 59 Aleutian (which...
Hellooooo...! Is it some kind of broken record there, posting as Eric Splinter?!? o_O
Weird statement, considering that some of the largest container ships on the planet are single engine powered. As the old saying goes, two...
Coming to think of it, since in terms of redundancy you are clearly covered, why fit a starting battery for the genset at all? I mean, having now...
