We Love this boat! But we have to sell her. So have a look at our president. The President 43 has a cult following. There were ony 43 made, and those only by the most prestigious craftsmen. They are HUGE, ROOMY, POWERFUL, and SO WELL BUILT! The President 43 is the perfect ICW boat and this one...

Hi. This is a couple of years older than you specified but please have a look. We were sailors (are sailors I suppose semper fi) we looked and looked for the perfect transition icw boat and found this. We got back from our icw trip last month. We LOVE this boat! We cared for her like we would...

Hi so I started my lehman 275 one day and the oil pressure started off normal Which is 40 psi. As it warmed up it went to 60 psi!! I shut er down and changed the oil and filter No change. Start stop run.... Always goes to 60 So I figured ok it must be the guage don't worry about it That was...

I went with marineair Thank you all for your input

Looking now. Thanks

Yes. He is aware and derisive of the cruisair/marineair and most expressively derided me of purchasing a vessel with said units. But what do you do. I love the boat. I really like the look and interchangeability of the marineair with the old cruisair and will probably purchase. I just want to...

We did the math with the general formula: hull speed = 1.34 x square root of water line (not loa) and try to stay just under for least effort. It turns out for us that's 1250 rpms running ford lehmans. Apparently it's not good to run at such moderate/low rpms, but it sounds so stable and...

Hi. I'm replacing our P.O.S cruisair self contained unit. It seems that the marineair is actually designed to be a direct replacement for this unit. Talking to our ships engineer, however... He says stay the f...k away from marineair its junk. Has anyone who might be reading this found it to...

Thanks for the advice all. The unfashionable side of coin jock was significantly less expensive and that suited us since we were just overnighting after a long trip down the Chesapeake River dunes was great. Oriental city docks are excellent. Will definitely be stopping in there on the way...

Thank you guys. I appreciate the advice. Personally I like the whole forging into the unknown thing, but it's my wife's first actual cruising adventure (as well as our two year old son thor's) so I need to employ the 7 p's to ensure there will be other ones to come (Proper Planning and...

Hi. Having perused all 543 posts looking for good advice about where to stay between Norfolk and Charleston on the icw (and picked up a few good places thanks) I thought I would risk a post and ask if anyone can recommend some good places to stay on the way. we are going to mosey and maybe...

So... Bit of a problem. Replacing the fluid in borg warner transmissions. Drained out the old, old, old fluid fine but completely stripped out the fil/ dipstick nut and cannot get the bugger off. Assuming it takes the same amount to fill as the other engine, can I get the fluid down the...

I may be completely missing the point here... I think the initial inquiry was identified as rust from storage right? And the danger is sticking rings, and possible fear of glazing? This I fear is exactly the situation with my lehmans. Dare I bring up the marvel mystery oil? Or has it been done...

Holy cow! That's a lot of information and I am now very confused yet knowledgable about synthetics, but I'm a cheap bastard so it probably a moot point. I emailed bob asking his advice and am awaiting a definitive answer. damn i forgot to ask if he really does recommend marvelous mystery...

I think we have the same or very similar system We have a 43 president. Looks very similar in the stern Any help? We have the manual on board to tell you manufacturer but I won't be able to get to it till Christmas when i get back to shore

Thanks for all the info . So I got and applied all the advice I could... Changed oil with 15/40 rotella at 12.5(recommended but scary way below min) Cleaned air filters Cleaned intercoolers Ran out almost all old fuel and put in fresh ( ran her hard for 6 hrs) Injector service Wolverine pan...

Thank you all for your advice. Ill change all filters, clean intercoolers, oil change to exact amount, change out old fuel, have a martini and try not to be so uptight...

Thanks for the input. 2000 hrs only. And those hours on the icw, so low rpms pretty much all the time. I had a fellow pull the injectors and send them away for service. Put them back in. And it's better but not great. Do you mind if I ask what was the additive you used? Somebody suggested...

I recently (perhaps foolishly) purchased a boat with twin Lehman 275 turbos... They smoke a little. I am in the Chesapeake bay so temperature is a factor with no block heaters. So ok. A bit of wear... Thicker oil maybe right? My initial thoughts were to just replace the cheap rotella 15/40 with...

Is anybody looking for a set of crazy heavy duty davits for a 12ish foot boat? These are on our president trawler and are overkill for what we need. They cost $3500 new and we just had them serviced. They are like new. Any offers would be seriously considered.
