Seabright electronics
Our electronics were designed by Concord Marine Electronics in Ft Lauderdale Fla ( concord marine electronics ). The equipment was purchased and sent to the yard in Kaohsiung Taiwan where it was installed during the building of the boat. This is different from many builders where the electronics are installed during commissioning. The installation has been flawless.
I am a big fan of Furuno and have the NN2 with both a 12kw and 4kw open array. When we run at night I like to have one radar in close and the second a bit further out.  Our primary navigation system is a computer- based  program called MaxSea. We had used Nobletec for many years but I found the newer version unstable so I switched a year ago and have been happy since. All of our systems are integrated data. We have a Furuno 150 class A and AIS, an essential tool if you do any off shore cruising.

Rather than the standard engine package we have Twin John Deere PowerTech 6125AFM75 Marine Engines with ZF 360 A transmissions.

We chose JD because they are heavy duty marinized tractor engines (unlike many that are marinized medium duty truck engines) and will last 25k-30k hours before needing an overhaul with routine maintenance.
They are quite popular in the commercial and trawler market due to the robustness of the construction.
They are easy to maintain and do so at a much lower cost than many engine packages.
Simplicity and reliable while powerful, quiet and fuel efficient.
They are well matched to the overall hull speed of the boat and load factors, providing a smooth and easy ride.
Their service centers are world wide and easy to access.
The history of JD service is excellent and well known.
These engines will outlive their owners;  John Deere Marine Engine

 ZF transmission  Here is a picture of the port trnasmission with the heat exchanger on top. At the bottom of the picture is the power take off (PTO) for the hydraulic system. For redundancy purposes there is a PTO on each engine.

Seabright has a  ABT Integrated Hydraulics: ABT Hydraulics , including stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters and anchor windlass. The power is generate from the main engines as show above. to the left is the main hydraulics 11 gal tank and heat exchanger.

Seabright has two sea chests where raw water is drawn into the boat for use by various pieces of equipment for cooling or to to make water. This eliminates the need for multiple through hull openings and as a result reduces the risk of a failure. Having the plexiglass allows you to look down and visually see the water flow.  A nice and easy way to check for an obstruction.

The top down view, with my lovely silhouette, you can see the sea water and the handle for the Groco sea strainer. We have on board two groco SA3000 for the mains, one 1500 for the Cruisair and 3 SA1200 for the hydraulics and genset. The water maker has it own strainer which is separate. 

The anchor windlass is  a Maxwell VWC Hydraulic 4000 with a band brake: Maxwell 4000 We have chain counters at both the fly bridge and pilot house. We changed to a Rocna Anchor from a CQR.









When we anchor we always use snubbers.  These rope lines, attached to the boat and the anchor chain, take the attachment stress off the windlass.Without snubbers, stressing the windlass not only voids the warranty but can cause the windlass to be pulled from the decking. The rope is attached to the chain via an ABI Chain grabber ABI.

You can see in this picture the snubbers deployed. With a change of current or wind there are no sudden jerks or snap sounds.

We use an all 3/8in chain rode and routinely deploy at least a 7:1 rode.

For fuel management we added an ESI fuel polishing system with the belief that so many things begin and end with clean fuel. ESI Fuel polishing.  We can clean about 180 gal/hr and routinely do this every two weeks using a 2 micron filter.

FCI Max Q modular water maker, makes 1200 gal per day or .83 gal/min: Max Q water maker As a modular unit, there are parts in three different locations.

 For cooling and heating we have a Cruisair tempered water system. This both cools and heats the boat. By chilling  water it circulates to air handlers throughout the boat for a very efficient and effective system. 

We installed Charles Iso Boost for those times when the shore power does not have enough volts; this will boost to the needed 220v: Charles Iso boost .  It is surprising sometimes to come into a marina and find that when hooking up our shore power finding the power is 208v. An Iso Boost system will boost this back to 220v but you do lose some amperage in the process which is a good trade off as 208v will mess up many circuit boards not only on the boat proper but in many appliances.
This is one of two, this is for the shore power 1 cable and the second is for the shore power 2 cable. Most of the time we use only one 50amp cable but have the capacity to run a second 50 am p cable.

For ventilation we have Delta T fans for both intake and exhaust. I like the engine room to have a positive air pressure when we are running believing that it helps the engines run better.
These louvers will in the event of a fire automatically close to shut down the flow of air into the engine room. You can see a piston driven pin that retracts and the louvers shut.

Once a fire is detected and the air flow is cut off the engines are shut down and this fire suppressant is discharged all in a matter of seconds. There is a manual override in the engine room to restart the engines if needed and is safe.

For fresh water we have two water pumps. One is a MeadHunter Mach 5 This is our primary pump. It runs off the 110  inverter circuit. THis provides us with a minimum of 40psi to 60 psi. It is the larger pump on the right. We also have a Xcaliber 24 v pump  This provides the same pressures but is powered by the 24v circuit and is a backup pimp in the event of the failure of the primary pump. Nothing kills a trip like no fresh water.

To help keep our fresh water ...well fresh it first passes through a 3m whole boat filter

Next the water go to a Ultra-violet sterilizer So when it get to the sink or shower it is fresh and clean.

To help keep our clothes clean we have a stacked full size Asko washer and dryer
