  1. coolant in 12v71 oil

    blew a coolant hose yesterday, caught the temp rising just as it hit 180. Shut the motor off and was towed in by an excellent Capt Lee and Tim from Tow Boat US Beaufort, NC. Replaced the hose but was reflecting on the possibilities from overheat (although minimal) and my gut told me to check the...

  2. Lithium battery fired at sea

  4. 36 Volt In Place Of 32V?

    Many years ago we did some work on a 70' steel comercial trawler this boat had only a 32V DC system with very few electrical acessories. The entire system was shot batteries charger etc all bad. What we did was replace the 8V batteries with three 12V 8D batteries and three 12V battery chargers one...

  7. Insuring a 65' + boat

    I was under the impression that one could not insure a boat over 65' for owner operation unless the owner is a licensed captain, rated for 50tons and over. Is this true? Are there any ways around this restriction? How do you big boat owners deal with this? Any words of warning or wisdom...

  8. 92 series DD's

    There seems to be consensus that the 71 series are pretty stout engines. the 6-71 and 8V71 more so than the Turbos as those tend to have a limited life and is not cheap to replace, not to mention the fact that a failure may do more damage to the engine. I have heard less enthusiasm for the 92...

  9. Need for license to pilot a 58+ yacht

    Do you need a license to pilot your own yacht say from 58 foot to 75 foot long (non-commercial) ? I have run smaller boats in the 20 foot range, but didn't know if there was a certain length of boat that was a threshhold for needing a license. Any information would be appreciated as well as any...

  12. Spare Injectors

    Last year I bought a Reliabilt N90 injector on EBAY..paid about $30 I think...Figured at that price having a spare on board would be a good idea. I mentioned this to my marina mechanic boss and he told me (a) rebuilt injectors have a shelf life, (b) not all N90 injectors are necessarily set up...

  13. Allison M20 issue

    my boat has been idle for a few years- nothing but the occasional crank and run. We have finally moved home and now it's time to start working on the old girl. First issue I have is no forward capability in the port Gear, however I have reverse. This is being caused by low oil pressure per the...

  14. Front deck hatch with vent

    Like most of the MY's, I have that forward hatch that has the integrated vent. I really don't like having that thing stick up on the front deck. If I need ventilation, I can open it. I don't need a vent. It's just in the way. It would be better to replace it with a hatch that was solid and...

    I ran the generator today for the first time with the inverter switched on. With the generator running, the reverse polarity lights on the breaker to the inverter and ones on the sub panel came on. There are no polarity issues when the shore power feeds the inverter. Until I wired the...

  16. First Impressions on our new Analytic Systems charger....ugh!

    Well, it worked great the first day! But unfortunately, after about a day of service, it has failed. Angela noticed the DC lights dimming and checked the voltage at the helm to find it low. She then checked the charger to find it dark, and extremely hot to the touch. Tried letting it cool down...

  17. 32 Volt Survey

    I am trying to determine the rough number of 32 volt users still in the world. I am too stubborn to give up on what seems to be an extremely robust system, so I am trying to convince a specialty Battery company of the market size. Would any of you 32 volt using yachtsmen/women please respond. ...

  20. 32 volt nightmare

    We are thinking about converting the boat to something other than 32 volt. Has anyone else done this? We want to regain some space in the engine room, and getting rid of all the 32 volt batteries may open it up a bit!
