My pleasure, but thanks to you Judy. Your valuable contributions are one of the things that brought me here back in the days, to start with. As...
Aha, I see. Frankly speaking, I'm not sure I'd even bother turning the engine keys on for any of those reasons. Aside from heading towards...
Actually you can see the helmsman pointing to the MOB in the slow motion bit, at 1:00. What I find even more outrageous than not having attempted...
'Care' is a big word. As I said in the OP, it's just something I noticed and thought to ask out of curiosity, nothing else. Don't look for myself...
Well, thank you. Now that by coincidence I got senior status after posting this thread, I'll let you know what that brings on. Though I strongly...
I noticed that some 'senior member' forumites have less posts than myself, and less subscription time. So, I was wondering when/how someone is...
Viscosity is fine, and also 50 psi at 1000 rpm is plenty. For your future reference, at idle even a bit less than 30 psi would still be fine. You...
Hi W, how many pages was it? Pretty sure I could translate it for less than that! :) Not to mention that I would guarantee it to be...
That's a possibility, but the VDO instruments of old MAN mechanical engines work differently. There is a sender on the engine, which depending on...
I'm late to this thread, but I fully agree with this previous statement. In fact, I'd rather be concerned that the pressure relief valve on the...
Nah, I wish I could get a patent by drilling a hole on a lid and sticking a valve on it! :cool: PS: by the way, I like salt water to stay outside...
LOL, you might try the following alternative, in order to skip the cleaning bit: Fit a valve on the strainer lid as in the first pic, with a rapid...
Very interesting, thanks.
Fair enough. I misunderstood your statement as a generalization, based on what happened with some specific boats.
Do you mean that the blade shape is rounded to follow the upper profile of the tunnels? I've seen Humphree's interceptors with a blade profile...
Not necessarily. I mean, it is always true that the need for stern lift is inversely proportional to speed, of course. And I fully accept that...
Can you possibly confirm what size did you use, for both the 54 and the 80? The stroke as I understand is 2" regardless of the blade width. I'd...
Do you mean that you tried the same boat with tabs and interceptors, and experienced a meaningful performance improvement with the latter? And if...
In principle I agree with the objections of Capt J to such solution, but pretty sure it's hard to beat in terms of simplicity and durability!...
I just noticed in this photo of the latest 100 footer launched by Permare that they installed interceptors rather than trim tabs from the factory,...
