Had same analysis on transmission sample. Explained as probable rust, recommended drain, flush, and new oil. worked!

U S navy would routinely on long cruises.

anyone know what happened @ city marina?

Have made trip before, on a 45' Californian MY. Both inside, and ICW are good, weather permitting. Outside jumps are best south of Beaufort NC. Have been both ways, always letting sea conditions make that decision. 45' Californian not great with seas greater than 3-4 ft. Recent retired glad to...

floscan started using the flow meters in the 80's in aircraft. At the time was owner operator of an air freight company. These instruments were on all aircraft. Not only do you know your current fuel flow, but combined with exhaust gas temps, gave info about wear and tear on each engine...

To me, blisters the size your talking about are no real problem. Great for a price reduction, but I never fix.

vents Had difficulty establishing vents on my 48 Californian MY. Stb, has one holding tank vent and one water vent aft. Port aft has one fuel and one holding tank vent also aft. Nice to know which is which. Put water from hose directly into holding tank outside of boat, and you can hear...

Room temp for us, with whipping cream on top. Have eaten from the fridge the day after make, not nearly as good. Never had hot!:dance:lol:

I pulled mine out and measured, apparently different tanks take different sizes

I have a 91' Californian MY (3 stateroom). 425 Cats with similar hours. Can't enough good things about the 3208 Cats. 3rd time for me. Keep your zincs up to date and oil changed on a regular basis.

Had same problem with my NL Genset. Took awhile, but finally, the supply water hose got old and collapsed after usage. Made Genny run hot and it automatically shuts off. Just replace hose, and all is well. Hope this works for you.

fuel burn Have 91' Cal 48 MY with 3208 Cats. Have had other boats with 3208 engines. Always seem to burn 1.5 gal/h running at 1500 rpm's which produces 9 mph

Ditto above, change all impellers including genny. Same with water system, pump out old, treat new, and repeat until water is safe. Have all air conditioning systems serviced. All said, do the engines first.

ICW vs Outside in Georgia I live in Savannah. Have done the whole thing multiple times. Weather is my main concern (wind). Savannah to St. Augustine is a piece of cake but with short days 18-20 cruise speeds would be necessary to avoid arrival after dark. Have done ICW and there are spots...

sensor I know I'm late to this thread, but if your could forward the senser for your 48' I need one also. Thanks
