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...
I’ll be happy with 24 kn cruise. Would be great to get 25-26 but 24 would be acceptable. I don’t really care about WOT as long as I get to full...
PacBlue you’re such a tease That Hat is as close to same boat as mine as you can likely get. Even similar gen sets. Although I suspect the HAT is...
What do the bearings in the shaft log look like? Unless you only have one per side?
Christmas in February! Engines arrived CAT dealer. Gears are mounted up and being plumbed. Everything gets loaded on the truck and sent to barge...
Is that the bearing from the shaft log or the strut? Definitely needs replacing. What size shafts do you have? Are you checking the shafts while...
It will be interesting to see how far out your shafts are from center of the logs once you replace cutlass bearings. Obviously this has to be...
Curious how you know you need to do an alignment or suspect a problem? I'm guessing you have some vibration and suspect an alignment issue? Before...
