A battery-powered setup gives you air conditioning without the noise of a genset. Just be careful about the details.

Vital Fluids

Understanding fuel-flow and filtration systems is vital to diagnosing and fixing engine-power loss.

Whether it’s too high or too low, oil pressure that’s off can mean a slew of engine-room problems.

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.
