Welcome. I was a sailboat person too. Now look at it like leaving the dark side. My stern anchor storage is a 5 gallon bucket with 1" holes drilled in it. I use a 15# Bruce knock off with zero chain and 1/2", 3 strand nylon line. Going against anchoring rules the I find that the Bruce anchors...

Check your throttle control cable on the engines, ensure the pushrod throw on each engine are matching. They may have got out of adjustment or the stopper nuts have loosened. lower both engines. remove engine covers, with engines off, push both the shifters all the way to the stops (full...

I second the gallons per hour/ distance. (what Bob said) We owned a 34' sailboat with a 25 hp diesel. Had it for 18 years, took it from the Keys to the Chesapeake twice and many times to the Bahamas. Motored at 5 kts burning about 1 gallon per hour at whatever the RPM was (no gauge). Our C-dory...

Has anyone out there vinyl wrapped there C-Dories yet? I know about the pros and cons of doing this, verses the tradional ways. I have Poly Glowed, buffed, waxed, painted my previous boats. (Please respond to this post only if you have vinyl wraped your c-dory hull) Looking for...

I second the importance of a good ground. I chased bad grounds last year on my trailer. Found out that the wiring was corroding under its insulation only getting 7 volts to the back of the trailer. Trailer is only 4 years old. I replaced all my wiring with heaver gauge tinned marine wiring...

The old BF40s would run at WOT 5500 rpms make 20kts. Cruise at 4500 rpms burning 1.5 GPH each (3 gph combined) (17 kts) New BF40s EFI at WOT 5500 make 22 kts. (way to fast for me) Cruise at 3800 rpms burning 1.2 GPH each (2.4 gph combined) (17 kts) This is where the torque matters...

850ft Drillship working everywhere in the Gulf of Mexico. Up to 200 users of the Starlink internet at a time onboard. Never slows down. It smokes the rig net satellite system that we use as backup. That service is $15,000 per month for internet. Starlink is way cheaper per month.

I repowered my boat last year with new 2022 EFI, Honda BF40 twins. Replaced the exact same engines 26 years newer. Repowering cost with rigging nema 2000 everything, latest controls, new SS props, $18,000. The boat feels like it has a 115 hp. with the torque of the twins! Easy to replace no...

Big fan of Starlink! It has made my life so nice on the ship I work on. We have the commercial version. Super fast, the system keeps working even with winds 65 kts., seas 24 ft., and rain that flood the decks 6 inchs deep. Never looses a connection! The system worth every penny.

Vero Beach Manicipal Marina is nice. Busy this time of year, but we were able to get a slip with our 22 in peak season. Nice showers and free shuttle bus into town. Boat ramp walking distance to this marina overnight free parking allowed very safe. Moorings allow up to 3 boats at time per...

Make sure the shifters are in neutral. Sounds obvious, but this will not allow the engines to start.

Thanks Doctor. Did not mean to hijack the thread. That’s the only picture that I had uploaded to the website. Now back to the fuel tank. 😆

Nope the tank is built with an access arch, that's where my aft bilge pump is and drain plug. There is a picture in my galley photos that you can see what it looks like. Click the link below it will take you to the picture. http://www.c-brats.com/albums/album3057 ... .sized.jpg

Oh wow,19.5 KWH for battery power. So you can run one Navy 3.0 outboard at 2 KW 9.6 hours, run two motors at 4 KW 4.8 hours. Going to need a-lot of roof space for solar panels to recharge it up in five hours for the next day. Even if you’re able to put 5000 watts of solar on the roof of a...

Yup it’s original to the boat. One large tank separated in the middle with an internal bulkhead. Each side is 25 gallons with separate fuel pickups, separate fuel fills, sending units, and a selector valve. I like the commercial workboat look too.

My boat has one large aluminum tank. It is separated in the middle by a bulkhead in the tank. It is 25 gallons per side. Love it and will replace it with the same tank if the time ever comes. I like the extra burn time with the metal tank if there was ever a fire onboard compaired to plastic...

How many E135 batteries are you planning to get to power the two Navy 3.0 outboards? (They are 8090 watts each)
