Hello,.
We just bought a 2006 Mainship 400 and brought her home to Savannah from Punta Gorda Florida. It took us 11 days to travel across the Okeechobee waterway and then up the East coat of Florida but all went well. We stayed and a few marinas, used mooring balls and anchored mostly.
Had 2 days of offshore trips (St Augustine to St. Simons Island and then St. Simons to Savannah.) Ran about 8.5 knots at 2000 RPM..
Now that I have her safe in a local marina slip I have a few questions.
1. What seacocks do you guys close when not at the boat ..if any.
2. Do you leave your AC on and in Humidity mode and if so, do you keep both AC packs in that mode or just one?
3. Do you leave a light on on the inside?
4. If the two engine gauges do not necessarily agree, upper and lower helm locations...for engine temp mainly...which one would you consider correct?...meaning I noticed the engine temp went up to about 175 today shortly after going offshore at the brifge display, not sure why, I watched it pretty close there for a while but when i went below for a snack i noticed the lower helm gauge was were it has been normally,.. at about 160F...(Single Yanmar 6LY2AN-STPC)
Thanks in advance.
