Thank you for pointing that out actually- I did not notice that. I can see the blisters I believe, but can you point out any of the repair spots by chance?

What numbers do you get a trawling speeds? 6,7,8,9 knots how many rpm are you pushing? Owner stated that was their normal cruise rpm- which seemed high to me right when he said it. Then was super disappointing when the boat would barely make 7. And I mean like 7.0 7.1 sort of thing. Engines...

I thought that too at first but then realized its just a measurement of how a screw is turning through the water and how much slip there is on that screw based on gear ratios and speed. I doubt that would make a difference regardless what prop you were talking about -being a racing motor or a...

I think if I could gain a knot (8 knots) as well as drop 200 rpms (@2000 rpm) I would be happy. The engines are 40 years old with 2000 hours but in excellent condition. Do not smoke. Had injection pumps and injectors done a few years ago. The mechanical trial being a couple weeks away- i do...

I carefully read and re-read everything you said here, and I think within the limits of what you said, I could still be happy. I do believe what you said to be true. I think if I could cruise north of 8 knots id be happy. I don't even think the boat would make 8 knots right now. We have beat...

Definitely will be doing this during a mechanical survey. Kicking myself I didn't do it already

Just purchased one on amazon. Thanks

I reached out to a friend who has a 38 Ocean Alexander with twin 135 lehmans. He is running 24x20 props and gets excellent numbers at 1400 and 1800rpms. Those were the same props the vic prop calculator recommended. I am definitely leaning towards it being propped incorrectly, as the hull speed...

Hey there, I currently own a 34 chb. 30ft waterline. 11'10'' beam. single m135 2003 perkins. 2.0:1 borg warner. Around 20,000 lbs. I get 2600? or 2800rpm wide open (havent in awhile, but i know for a fact its propped correctly because i have checked this before) it cruises great and i get...

Geraldine, I may be the most qualified here to answer this question lol. I own a chb 34 and I have had a dockstar stern thruster, and now own a sideshift ss350 bow thruster. The dockstar was too weak for our boats. There is just too much windage and weight. It would work well enough in calm...

So for an update.... I ended up buying some oil dye for the transmission. We ran it after for a good while in gear to get it warm then shut engine room lights off and used uv flashlight to look for leaks. At this point could no find any- after we had tightened the dipstick very well. We are...

"Make sure that the dipstick is fully in and tightened..." - The dipstick is looking a little worn out, and I had suspected it at one point but then tightened it extra and it seemed to not leak, but I will definitely check this. "It could also be the big nut holding the flange on the output...

Awesome thank you. I guess just a marine tranny shop for a seal?

Hi there, I am wondering if any of you have had this leak before. It appears to be a minor transmission oil leak on my borg warner transmission right where it outputs to the main shaft. If you look closely you can see where it is slinging oil as the shaft turns- a perfect oil ring Is this a...

Sorry Sold

-yes we are talking about 2 LFP batteries on a 1,2,both position switch. -at this point I am trusting what nobody says lol but I am leaning towards believing what you are saying for sure. I wish he would do the test and email me the results. I am a lineman by trade and what you are saying makes...

I contacted alberta lithium (great customer service btw) and asked them about using both batteries on a 1-2-both switch. I discussed my desire to drain one battery completely, and then combine them/ switch to the other to fire the engine back up. He disagreed with the idea that this would cause...

So a sterling alternator protector, balmar external reg with alternator temp protection, 300ah lithium bank for start and house (and leaving them connected). using a high amp victron battery protector "VICTRON battery protect BP-220" as a low voltage disconnect. * just to be clear, these are...

wow, thank you for this. very grateful. what are your thoughts on leaving the start/deep cycle battery order the way it is, continuing to run just this one bank and then running a low voltage disconnect or alarm? * edit* leaving the batteries combined as effectively one large 300ah bank I...

nm... having on both wouldnt make sense for charging off alternator.... *sigh* and i guess i could revamp this, leave the switch on both all the time, and just use a low voltage disconnect or low battery alarm. that way I could recconnect them with enough juice to start the genset or engine...

This is a very good observation. I am assuming then that you are still recommending charging the lithiums first from the alternator and then using a dc-dc charger to charge the agm start? Could I wire it up with an agm to absorb the over-voltage should the bms suddenly disconnect, and avoid...

I noticed Dakota offering batteries such as this, and then a simple google search found more...

I am in the process of upgrading the batteries on my boat. Current setup; The alternator: 137A-116A (two ratings on tag, on initial receipt says 116a, I am thinking 116A is the continuous duty rating?) It is externally regulated with an old next step regulator, but does not have an alternator...

Nanoose bay, british columbia, canada. Had a quote done for shipping to seattle and it was $183 canadian. Are you in florida?

Stern. And comes with hardware for stern. You can buy the hardware for bow or swim grid though.
