I have a blower to ventilate potential gas vapor from the engine space prior to starting the engine. Once running the engines integral fan will...
I did consider an electric pump, I have several sitting on the shelf here in front of me. That would certainly be an easy thing to arrange.
That's possibly the first Wankel powered boat I've heard of. The problem with running a pump off of my engine is there's nowhere to drive it from.
I have the ventilation set up so that air is drawn from vents on both sides of the cabin about even with the mast. The air is piped down below the...
Gonzo, those are some excellent points. I'm sure you're correct that there's going to be a noise issue pretty much no matter what I come up with....
Sounds like a slick setup, I like the side to side part. I once had a Norwegian boat with a North Sea exhaust, wet though, that exited on both...
I'm starting a project to install a Lifan air cooled 15 hp gas motor in my 23 ft sailboat. I've found an adapter to mate a 2 to 1 ZF marine...
Nice looking boat with an impressive traditional rig, I like that.
I have an old friend that lives in Tasmania, maybe I should come down and check out some boats and pay a visit. I had a 27 ft. sailboat once and I...
That's what I suspected, however I was shooting for more of a sail assisted efficient trawler for the great loop, it'll need a tabernacle though.
I'm wondering if this is feasible. I have the hull, engine, electronics, basically all the parts except the mast and sail. I like the standing lug...
I ran across this fascinating ( for me at least ) manual by the United Nations FAO. The focus is small scale commercial fishing, primarily in the...
I am certainly no expert, but in Dave Gerr's Propeller Handbook he states "For the vast majority of installations, the larger the diameter the...
Actually it's an earlier version, an SL2M.
Thanks, I think mine is quite different from the clones, this one is a two cylinder air cooled engine, 56 cu. in., weighs 512 lbs. with gearbox...
I'm going to go ahead with project, the engine is to nice not to be put to use and enjoyed.
In my large collection of boat related "stuff" I have a 26 ft. motor whaleboat hull, Capilano steering and a 1965 Lister Blackstone SL2M diesel...
I'd look into PVC sheet, I've seen some nice workboats built in VA out of it.
I like reading the different opinions and ideas, keeps my creative juices flowing. I just finished installing a longline hauler on my T27, simple...
It's a small world. I started my boating life on the NY Finger lakes as a boy. In reference to the thread, I've mounted a hauler on my sailboat...
