I have a 1979 Hatteras was 58' extended to 72. I need to be able to answer these questions to see if the new props should be tweaked for cruising. I'm not sure how to answer these? The Detroits are 892/T Anyone know how I can find out these answers? Time is important here if you can help, Thanks....

Can anyone shed some light on seating and connecting the risers to the elbows on a 426 gasser. They come with the 2 "o" rings and the connecting "sleeve" and I was told it was a dry fit but when trying to bolt then together clearances are ridiculous. One bold lines up under riser that you can't...

It appears I may have missed my first choice for a 43 DC. I am now looking at the one in Pt Pleasant,NJ. It has engine troubles with one(read overhaul) and the other has 1800 hours (6-71N's). I am doing this project to be my last boat (It's not that funny!) and I would like it to be as...

Assuming your engines are reaching 2300 RPM under full load at WOT, I was wondering what RPM could an 8V71ti cruise at. I have been running my engines at 1900 with no issues for about 12 years now.

What is the accepted protocol in selling a boat with Direct TV satellite receivers? I have four plus the dedicated 12V one on my 56. Obviously, the 12V one stays but on the others, do I leave the receiver plus the card and deactivate, take the card only or take the receiver and the card for...

I noticed a slight oil sheen in my stbd. exhaust water flow at idle. This after about 120 miles at cruise (1,850rpm) returning to USA. There is no water in my lube oil, nor in my transmission oil. Did not need to add any fluids on the enire trip. So the only fluid not accounted for is likely to...

This vessel is now in cruising condition a very nice vessel. You can see at www.webworldusa.com photo's, info etc. I would also be interested in trading down to a 45' to 54' trawler.

Yesterday, in St Michael's harbor, the primary depthfinder quit finding. System is a pair of Networked 3010Cs, a Garmin GSD 21 sounder box, and a Garmin (Airmar) through-hull transducer. System worked normally at the slip and on ride down to St Michaels. After a few minutes maneuvering to...
