Waddumean none of the MAN's have zincs? Engine mounted, yep, they sure don't, as I said. But the external zincs bonded to the engines internally...
PB, to my knowledge, MAN engines always relied on a bonding to large external zincs also for the protection of the internal components which must...
I also agree with PB that speed loss can't even be measurable, also because judging from the props and the semi-tunnels that doesn't certainly...
Do you possibly remember if the boats where you noticed that were all powered with engines of the same manufacturer? I can't remember the type of...
Wow. It's not so common to hear of that on a pleasure boat, let alone a plastic one. Sorry if I was teaching you how to suck eggs. Out of...
Not disagreeing with the general principle, but for shafts and rudders, I think your boat is actually more an exception than the norm. Coming to...
Well, I was only wondering because most of the rudder anodes I've seen were further up, much closer to the hull. But to be honest I don't think...
Thanks Carl for your further explanations, though I'm well aware by now of most of what you are saying. And I have no problem at accept all that,...
Fairenuff, I don't mind whether it's the publisher's desire or "ours", whatever that means. The fact remains that when I understand that it's...
See? Q.E.D. Good luck in your and the publisher attempt to keep politics out of here... :D
I struggle with your logic. A debate on the impact of a pandemic disease on the economy is OBVIOUSLY a political matter. Why focusing on the...
Can't agree with that, because this whole thread IS political in nature, starting from its title. And it seems to me that this is neither killing...
I was actually wondering if those blades are OEM: they look unusually long to me. But I'm only comparing them against the prop shaft height, not...
Along your analogy, it seems to me that we are all cruising a canal with very tight draft restrictions, whether we like it or not. Stripping...
Aha, copy that. I assumed it was in the e/r 'cause you said that the access cut was "refitted and glassed in", but now I see what you meant, of...
Impressive job indeed. Apologies if you already addressed this point and I missed it, but why did you need to cut the aft e/r bulkhead?
Sorry for not being able to help, but if you will eventually find out what the part #, I'd appreciate if you could post it here. Thanks in advance...
Good call. I would just add safety goggles, if I may.
Is she possibly the only boat I ever came across with a built-in urinal in the portuguese bridge? I believe to have recognized her on your...
Good point in principle, but noise path can indeed be weird enough to find its way resonating back through e/r vents. I've been on some boats...
