Was hoping to learn some -independent- rule of thumb on cilinder capacity per outboard power range. I notice cubic inches for the same HP can vary...
Dear All, I'm looking for a bull-horn type hydraulic steering system for my 115Hp Suzuki outboard, on my deep-V hull mobo. What would be the...
These 'sliding' cylinder models all have this 'bull horn' design allowing installation without having to remove the OB from the transom: this...
Thanks !! Any idea why the 'sliding' cilinder systems are so popular with all brands ? Less load on the hydraulic hoses/fittings with static...
Hi All, I'm seriously considering replacing my mono-cable steering on my Suzuki OB with hydraulics. Most popular are these front mounted cilinders...
There is indeed a third port, but that one greases the swivel hinge.
Any idea how to replace the grommet without engine removal ...? To get the cable aligned properly, the route of the cable will become a bit...
There are two grease nipples on the swivel bracket, on both ends of the tilt tube. Are you saying that these nipples grease the tilt tube, so the...
Thanks...but I don't follow Motor is a 2017 Suzuki DF115a, steering is a mono cable type Seastar NFB Safe T 2
Dear All, Here's a picture of how the mechanical steering cable is attached to the OB on my Jeanneau boat > [ATTACH] On the left, you see the...
What I don't like about these ACRs is that they require identical batteries: that's not so very practical over the years I think.
My starter battery is in fact a semi-traction battery, and so is the service battery (long stories...) Anyway, thanks for your feedback: again a...
The Xantrex keeps both batteries separated. It senses when the first battery is full and keeps it topped of, and redirects the remaining charge to...
Correct! I don't like the hassle of shore power, so the solar panel + the Xantrex make sure both batteries are always topped of, without the...
Actually, I do have a second, service battery on board as well. This one is charged with a Xantrex Echo charger, so not 'combined' with the...
I'm not so sure it's that simple: my outboard does not have seperate cables coming from the alternator. The battery is charged with the same cable...
Yes, simple lead acid: no other allowed by the Zuke manual. Does the alternator also do this 3-stage charging that modern 'smart' battery chargers...
The solar panel on my boat is connected to the starter battery with a (MPPT) charge controller, so the battery gets the optimum charge...
The fairing behind the orifice serves to reduce turbulence > hard to believe those vertical 'seams' are meant to do the same. Still think there's...
Was visiting BOOT in Dusseldorf this weekend, and noticed how bow thrusters in mass production motor boats are installed these days, here's an...
