Just be aware of the wording, this is an Ice Shelf, which is already floating and will not rise the sea level. Ice Sheets are land based and would...
OK, I was talking to the guy who is responsible for IPS at Volvo Penta Sweden and he said I could not use 22°. He also said that it increased the...
Kelly, did you know that a 375 hp petrol V8 is now available with IPS on some markets, I guess the US being one of them.
On this, I think they have gained more experience today and especially with the IPS II and more powerful engines you will have problems. Not only...
Kelly, your observations are right, there has to be some surrounding support lines with a reversed windscreen to make it look OK. The transom is...
Codger, I was just now talking with my father on similarities between Sweden and Canada and to some extent also New Zealand. Not only are our...
Yes Nilo, it is just a matter of how different you dare to be...:) As an example, Fjord made a 40-footer that reminds quite a lot of my...

Are you still on a PC...? :rolleyes:
I guess it has to be the right size for your system, but I know that our pump was on a timer so when no hydraulic device was used, it shut down...
Hmm, I knew I had seen this design before... ;) (The original was posted here by DCCD in January)
On the 85-footer I was, we had a compact hydraulic system from the ME and with an electric pump on the tank for backup. It was supplying the...
On your first question, I guess a variable pitch propeller does the job. Like the famous KaMeWa props from Sweden..;) On your last question,...
I like what they are doing, as the Lady Duvera II by Diana Design, one of my absolute favorites. I have also had long conversations with Albert...
Hi, they are interesting and there are advantages. I am not sure I would eliminate a bow thruster though, in some situations the IPS (like...
