    185HP Perkins Range 4 Recommended Maintenance

    Narrowing our search down & seriously looking at a boat with twin 185 HP Perkins Range 4 engines - all 1700 hours are freshwater. Some questions: Anybody have a link to the maintenance manual for these engines ? How reliable are they ? Best online source for repair parts (Gulf or SE Coast) ...

    Which wrist watch

    I'm usually wearing a Russian Amphibia Vostok automatic dive watch on a NATO strap. Supposedly waterproof to 200M - not that I'll ever test that.

    Pros/Cons on a 42' Jefferson Sundeck w/ Cat 3208TA's w/4600 hrs

    We really like the layout & size & build quality. Fishing from it would only be a casual thing. Definitely getting a full survey done on it if we decide to make an offer! Did your friend have a battery bank & inverter? This one does not but I'm thinking it'd be nice to have so as to not run the...

    Pros/Cons on a 42' Jefferson Sundeck w/ Cat 3208TA's w/4600 hrs

    Thanks for the comments. If we decide to make an offer I'm definitely getting a pro inspection of the boat & engines,, including oil testing. I know they have some hours on them but given the average life of a diesel engine I'm thinking they'd outlast me - with proper maint of course

    What form of transportation do you use at port?

    Thanks for the info on the Bikes!! We always travel with ours but they're heavy & tend to rust in a salt environment.

    Hour meter question on a possible purchase

    We're very interested in a particular Trawler but have a question about the hour meter readings. It's a twin diesel vessel & one hour meter reads almost 500 hours more than the other.. 15xx vs 20xx. This strikes me as pretty strange. I asked the broker about it & he told me it wasn't unusual &...
