My Perkins TE6.354’s get 2.4 GPM AT 7 Kts on a 42’ Ocean Yacht. Awesome engines. 43 years old now. Hope to make another mini loop here next year

I own her now and have under since 2012. One of the absolutely best cruising vessels you could ask for, if you’re considering fuel consumption. She’s amazing. 2 gallons an hour at six knots. She is not a very good seaboat as she has no ballast. I’ve put 12,000 miles on it in eight years...

An update on the termite situation on the Last Tango First, she is a 1980 Ocean Yachts 40 + 2 Trawler Yacht. I purchased her in 2012 from a friend who used her a lot, locally in the Pensacola area. I have put about 8500 NM on her since then. Yet, I haven't been anywhere out of state since...

I am getting cabin air temps up to 145°F. I have electronic probes drilled him and wise in the plywood and beams measuring internal wood temperatures. I need to wait another week or two until we have 95° weather and sunshine. Then I should be able to get the word core to 120° for a couple of hours

Before I get deeper into replies, is this the correct venue that all you kind sailors will see? I appreciate the comments, but I want to fuel this right and I have no idea how to post stuff properly. I will detail my attempts on drywood termites. Formosas are easy lol . And have ready many...

Sometimes I am a little slow. Is there a forum on termites and repairs after termites? I am interested in reading about what has been done for Drywood termites. Please direct me if someone knows of a forum going on about termite damage and repair. Otherwise, if no response I would expect that...

I will deliver anywhere in the GOM to the Atlantic coast.

You say there is no stray power in your Canal. Then you have stray power / ground fault / open circuit on your thruster

That's nice. What's your optimum speed for best fuel consumption?

Fixed. Thanks

I've had calls, so it's listed correctly 985.518.8353

That's wonderful. Home safe again to plan the next trip! Welcome Home

1980 Ocean Yachts 40 + 2 I bought her in 2012. Did due diligence and repairs, traveled 11,500 miles on her in 3 years. All the Tenn Tombigbee, all the Tennessee River (Twice) and the Little Tennessee. Circumnavigated Florida, gunkholing, and across the panhandle where my sailboat couldnt go...

If you wish to keep the teak deck look, rather than paint, I would start with a good inspection and knowledge of deck construction. If this is teak on a cored deck, you need to know the condition of the core and the condition of the teak to glass seal. I am almost complete on a deck...

Be safe brother. Thanks again for the reunion. See you on the water I hope

Lol. I found mine during survey. PO had never used it. I have never used it in 6 years

Agreed!! In my 40 years of cruising, I've heard of numerous sinkings due to shore water connections. Never had one. Never will. I'll top of as needed. Thanks

Did you try Trans Atlantic Diesel? They have a pretty good inventory of used Perkins Parts.

I have twin 6-354's. What are you getting a $600 quote for? Just the engine pad? Or for two complete new assemblies?

Awesome. My 40 year old sailboat also has black iron fuel tank is excellent condition. I've always tried to keep her pretty full to minimize corrosion. I spot blasted the exterior 25 years ago and covered it with coal tar epoxy. Still good as new. I'm more worried about my fiberglass tanks on...

I dug deeper. Total BS. They need to pay for services rendered.

I'm not buying this. BS.
