There's at least one N62 lurking around too guys.
I'm building a 60. But when I said there were two, I meant two people who recently became owners. There definitely are other owners here.
Hydraulics=high pressure.
TT, what's your completion/delivery date?
Not surprised you were. Everything costs more here. I`ve brought in parts from US which, with shipping, are far less than retail here. Mostly due to our wage structure, and profit margins in the supply chain. A friend imported some Ronstan parts, actually made here, cheaper than local retail.$860!!!! Wooooah!
Ahhh, thanks for enlightening me on that.Not surprised you were. Everything costs more here. I`ve brought in parts from US which, with shipping, are far less than retail here.

Thanks! And maybe one day we'll make it down there, if we do I'll stop in and say hi.BruceK said... Not surprised you were. Everything costs more here.

And Oliver...that boat of your looks so damned nice..... I want one...WAAAAA
I'm not sure why different selections were made for the different coolers.
I have Pdf version of the manual for the keel cooler, if you want a copy.Probably a matter of a local fabricator who makes a product that has bling factor for Nordhavn. They don't cost very much but as seen here, there is a great wow factor for some reason. My guess is it's a marketing thing between friends of friends in the supply chain.
Ti makes great heat exchanger material but as a keel cooler it doesn't add much benefit and actually creates a greater risk of galvanic corrosion of other underwater materials. I don't think any of the other manufacturers of keel coolers offer a Ti version and they supply some pretty exotic military applications. Can anyone show another keel cooler application with titanium tubing other than on a Nordy or a one off from the same welding shop?

It's possible, but I doubt it. If I were going to bling someting out, I'd bling something visible, not something underwater that gets seen once every few years in a boat yard. I'll see if I can find out, but I'd wager $1 that it's due to the higher pressure of the hydraulics. The engine's cooling system runs at about 15 psi, where the hydraulics is 25psi+ depending on the backpressure through the filter and other return lines, and potentially more.
