We don't fish the boat so don't really troll but can run as slow as 2-3 kts. Idle in full engagement is 6.5 kts
The transmissions have two trolling modes. 1) throttle remains at idle, speed controlled only by amount of slip 2) speed controlled by slip up to...
I believe that is a speed sensor for the output shaft/coupling.
Never noticed it before. Or the broken bonding wire I need to fix (it wasn't broken in earlier photos). There is also an unused P80...
I was wrong. They are down angle transmissions. I hadn't looked at them that close enough. Was checking them today and got a good view. [ATTACH]
By coincidence (or design) the 43 II deadrise at the bulkhead between the engines and the GenSet/AC water pickups is also 12.5 degrees. Happened...
If diving: nail a string with a weight tied to the other end to a piece of board. Put board edge on the bottom and scribe the board where the...
Port engine runs 3% more load at cruise, washes out as hit govenors at full throttle. Engines are same rotation, port transmission runs in...
Sorry for the derail Not the best photo but gives an idea how the deadrise flattens out from the engines (reference the transducer block) going...
Drive train is straight. Engine beds are on shaft angle.
Transducer is happy there. Water pickups for GenSet and on opposite side AC are just in front of the thin bulkead and both run fine underway up...
Transmissions are Twin Disk.
My transducer is underneath the port engine. I can measure the angle there (inner, no frames there so should match outer) if you would like....
Not questioning, just asking. The white came off with a simple pre-wetted wipe. About the same on the wall and floor in that space. Doubt it...
I think the white is light mildew since the space is accessed from a normally closed off cabinet? The paint is in the back of all cabinets,...
From what do you get that? The brown paint is the same as is on the inside of all of the fiberglass in the boat.
A couple pictures showing the underside of the foredeck. This location is just outboard of the aft port hatch. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I found a post on the re-core of 46 Post deck, thanks. Interesting that in the photos I don't see the stepped core thickness that I can clearly...
The only soft spot is the 6" circular one. I can hear it click/oil can if I step on it. One spot on the stbd side I noticed before survey...
The survey when we bought our boat showed 2 suspect areas for possible core issues: strip along the stbd side of the house, and an area behind the...
