Is it possible to hole up in Limon Bay for weather on passage?
Made by the folks at Life Alert. If you've fallen it gets you up...
Agreed. Not CO. I'd wager an anchor alarm...or perhaps a Wife Alert?
It just wants attention...
If you don't have some leaks, your Detroits are imposters.
Agreed on rudders. My standard maneuver is to center the fins and rudders on approach. The rest of the move is via gears and thruster. Of...
Stately presence.
I liked them because when maneuvering the extra thrust was always already in hand. There was no secondary shift of hands. Steer with the props...
My vessels are absolutely the antithesis of wave jumpers. Even the SF was designed for 10 footers more than it was for Bimini starts...
edit: In looking quickly at their web product guide it doesn't;'t appear that they offer separate throttle and gear units today. Perhaps that's...
I obviously went with single lever side controls for the PB helm setup. But I do recall that I could have gone with independent throttles and...
Good recommendation, that soda blasting. Yes, it's a handsome investment. I did mine last in 2023. Paid $8k for 68 feet, including plastic and...
Yes, I was skeptical about the props themselves, but I had wrinkled the set I was running on and saw a fresh used set available close to what was...
….but isn’t this more a pattern of proprietary controls? If you walk up to my former console you won’t know Kobelt was aboard unless you looked...
My experience was via my choice, my own installation, and via a PB helm on a SF, for a decade with zero issues minus the lightning event. When I...
I'm running big 5 blade Veems now, albeit at displacement cruising. Lost 70% of the noise and vibration with the style and extra blade. Sharrow...
Yes, fully electric units. I installed them myself. The Cats-end was the bigger challenge for the learning curve than the Kobelt. Never gave me...
I used the electrical units on a palm beach helm.
I used Kobelt with good success. I won’t ever leave my Hynautic hydraulics in exchange for electric.
Yes, best economy at speed. I don’t recall but would assume load was down in the low 70’s. I logged rpm, speed and consumption at 20 rpm...
