Actually, that is a great system that will only get better as filter technology improves. This is a glimpse of the future of waste treatment. I...
Oh yeah ... I'm sure there are thousands of marine engineers looking forward to this bit of waste handling fantasy. I think the idea stinks. We...
What else could anyone call a partially sunk boat lying on its side at the end of the ways? All the info needed to call it a "major screwup"...
C'mon Zud, you can blow all the smoke you want but the point is that "port shopping" does not apply to a MARAD waiver and your belief that it does...
I know what you are trying to say Capt. J. The condition you are describing is what I believe is the problem described in the other thread where...
I would very much like to know what the gauges would show at all combinations of power and speed.
"The MARAD administrative coastwise waiver process was initially enacted as Title V of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998 (Public Law...
The waiver comes from the hallowed halls of Congressional payoffs and the darker recesses of beltway chicanery. Those folks don't know what a port...

It sounds like the props are fouled, the hull is dirty, out of trim, or has gained a lot of weight and the boat is not getting over the "hump."...
Your statement about overloading is still incorrect. Using the propeller demand curve of a CAT C19 as an example: Maximum rated horsepower...
Where was boat built? 46CFR 67.20(A)(2) Applies in your case?
If you run one engine at 70 percent of its maximum continuous rating then that is exactly what it is doing, running at 70 percent. There is...
What any of us "believe" is irrelevant. If you weren't involved in the calculations then what you or any of us "believe" has no more relevance...
Yeah, right. Someone at Faux News must have found a CliffsNotes on high school history in the john and thought it was investigative reporting....
Considering the closest peak on the Rocky Mountains is separated from the Pacific Ocean by about 450 miles of trees and dirt including another...
Forget Webasto, go with Hurricane. Local manufacturer, quiet, efficient, not a modified truck heater.
I tried R/C helicopters and my first flight looked just like the video clip ... for about three seconds.
