Hi all As I wrote in an earlier post I am building a motor bed this summer. I am now curious if there are alternatives to lamination. Is it...
Dear knowledgable forum I am installing a 10hp volvo penta in my sailboat. It was made in 2005 and I am guessing the rubber motor mounts are of...
Hi, sorry for being silent. I lost my password... The gear box ratio is 2,35, which would give me rpm 1500 roughly. But that sounds very little....
They are two blades. But if I understand you correctly, the smaller one, 13' width, 9' pitch, should be nearer the mark...
Oh, thats right: Max rpm 3600, idling speed 925. /per
Hello I have a 3 metric tonne 29 ft sailboat with fin keel, quite easilly driven. I am installing a 10hp Volvo Penta in it (I know, weak, but I...
As some of you have seen in my other posts; I am installing a Volvo Penta 2010 in a 29 ft sailboat. Now I need to build an engine bed. I have...
Thank you so much. I wonder why I did not fint that one when I googled... Osculati is well known and respected. I am in contact with them now.
Good thoughts, thank you. I will check for square, and probably reuse the old coupling, provided it is a tight fit.
And: does anyone know of a cheaper alternative? I don't mean to sound like that, and I do realize there is money in research and developement, but...
Together with an engine that I just picked up, there is a shaft coupling, which I'm guessing is an old design. Most modern couplings that I see...
Hello all I am choosing between two flexible couplings for my new engine installation. It's a 10hp Volvo diesel going into a 29 ft sailboat that...
I am thinking along those lines now, as I realize epoxi and XPS may not be such a good idea… How about this: I skip xps alltogether and instead I...
Ah, a misunderstanding, my fault. The heavy laminate that I made, and that shows in the video, is for the cockpit sole, where I am happy to have a...
Video does not seem to work. It shows me standing on a 20mm thick piece of XPS laminated on both sides with double layers of 450 grams biax,...
Fallguy, I do want to take in your knowledge but I am surprised at what you say about XPS, epoxy and fiber glass. I experimented laminating a...
Exactly! Why? Or maybe it will be from now on. Maybe people will talk about ”before and after” Runhammars post about the pipe-arrangement.
I am rebuilding the inside of a 29 foot grp sailboat. After I have installed bulkheads I will add insulation to the inside of the hull, which is...
Well, yes, I planned on just glassing the pipes to the hull. Why is that not enough? Im thinking a generous fillet on the inside with high density...
That is my thinking. Now the remaining issue is whether I have any other safety concerns installing open pipes rather than seacocks that can be...
