Join us below decks to tour the engine room of a DeFever 49 full displacement trawler. We start with a Sea Chest, a raw water supply design for ships rarely seen on pleasure boats of this size. This boat is equipped with twin John Deere diesels and a generator so there’s a lot to discover. Another great feature we review is an Active Fin Stabilizer system. We explain the fuel distribution system while we video the duel diesel fuel filters and a supply/return fuel manifold. Rerun the video a few times to learn more about your own boat’s systems. Maybe with a little practice you can trouble shoot issues before they become a problem. Want to learn more? Join us to hone your DIY skills in our 2-day Introduction to Boat Systems course in Vero Beach.
