Tip for bolt cutters, hold one handle against your chest, grab the other handle with two hands and pull toward your chest.

Those vent lines for sure go vertical and exhaust at the roofline. I'll inspect that fuel pump tomorrow. Thanks

That's where I expected to find it. Wasn't there.

Single engine diesel. two fuel tanks. The fuel levels read the same in each tank so there must be a crossover line. But the only thing that looks like a crossover line vents the fuel tanks. I'm not seeing the big picture here. A little help? Kinda lost.

I have a motorsailer. Stingy diesel. This is not even news for me, it's a shrug.

I would only use it that was if it's a line that stays permanently on the dock. Overall it's not a good practice.

I had a dry stack for 12 years on top of a 6v-53 Detroit. ZERO issues with soot. None. Dry stacks allegedly make the engine more efficient since less exhaust resistance and also a cleaner less corroded bilge since no salt water fumes backflowing into the boat. But they're noisy as hell. I much...

Do these long haul small operators typically have the trailer? or does the boat owner provide it?

mind listing a few of your towing resources? I have a 29'x 8'2", 11,000# trawler I'd love to ship across country.

I have a 60 watt 12 volt appliance with a 110v brick that converts up to the 110v shorepower. Should I just run it straight to 12v and let the 6 amp marinco battery charger keep my 2 batteries topped off? I wouldn't mind saving my sing 110v pilot house outlet for something else

What, not manly enough for you? Hey, I don't know what your problem is and have never been to Alaska. Maybe I'll clear my question through you next time Ace.

What's all the chaos, opening day? Looks dangerous.

My boat resembles the hero of 1:33. Only had her in rough weather once and it did seem to split following seas and maintain course-- has a huge rudder if that has any affect on steering. The footage is probably old regular eight film and the frame rates were low and motors marginal...

This beast came into the Harbor yesterday. Hard to believe it's only 52'x23' approx. Seems way bigger. Massive. Pics don't do it justice.

Forget the Trawler, I love her accent.

is it common for boats of that size to have a gas station? Fantastic idea.

beauty. ask the surveyor to pull some fastners..

By all accounts a very cool unit but unfortunately they are no long available. Back to Blue Sea it is!

Nothing a Battalion of shipwrights couldn't get squared away in a year...or decade maybe.

In case anyone is wondering, this is what science looks like.

Reminded of a 6v53 Detroit I had once upon a time. Great eng.

I've heard they're a headache. But my research is a limited sample and neither peer-reviewed nor pier-reviewed.

woodies?

This thread lead me to a 90 minute Youtube documentary on the Queen's Birthday Storm. OMG... https://youtu.be/Aa7KxGtUlAA

Mine must of been from a Henry Ford era truck. It was loud. Loved the look of a big exhaust pipe coming up out of the deck. Looked like...a man boat.
