I agree with this totally! When I was looking for a boat I didn't think I wanted a teak cockpit deck. But that's what my Donzi had and I liked...
Yes, we are quite familiar with chockfast. We use it all the time on big engines, gears, pumps, etc. For this small application the 3/4” plates...
Yes, we are building the brackets with resilient mounts at mid point to be able to adjust up/down. We also have a 3/4” thick plate between the...
I hope you have better luck finding a H/E for your DD than I did. One of mine had a warped cover plate. We never did find replacements. Even the...
A few more pictures showing the new generator control panels in the salon (enclosure still to be be stained to match), the hydraulic steering and...
The ZF Smart Command processors and back up processor are all mounted and wired up. With cables and plugs on the face of the processors and the...
Here are our mocked up mounts. We have to make custom mounts as the engines need to sit lower in the rails than the standard mounts allow. On the...
We have the engine in our jig and are checking all clearances as well as mocking up the mounts. It is hard to tell from the photos but the sides...
Seems like this is getting well beyond this thread topic. Perhaps start a dedicated thread about theoretical prop slip?
Also quite possible the stated prop in the test data is a typo or simple incorrect info. It''s hard to believe a 45 pitch, 5 blade with with 1,080...
Those are pretty impressive numbers. I see it says full fuel and full water but no mention of total weight. I’ll bet the boat had no tower or hard...
The marine railway shown will load 100% of the weight on the keel. The side towers are only to prevent overturning. Trying to get load onto the...
We are a bit heavier than that. Prior to any removals, full load was right at 76,000. With an expected weight reduction from the lighter C-18s and...
Thanks PB. What weight did you use? How much weight can be added before noticeable effect? I'm not planning to add a bunch of weight or anything...
Thank you Capt J! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Whereas I do consider myself a real driver and don’t “need” thrusters; I’m long enough in the tooth to set my pride aside and embrace the...
The PTO mountings pads (red mounts in picture) will be removed and blanking plates put in place. No sense having unnecessary appendages just...
Does anyone know of a good online source for marine carpet or at least marine suggested carpet types? I need to find new carpet for my salon and...
I originally ordered including the mounting pads on the PTO’s to drive the original hydraulic steering pumps. The Hynautic system had a pump on...
