For an example, let's consider a right-hand prop, and we're looking at the boat from astern. As the shaft angle increases the pitch of the...
Those are about the worst kind of charger you could ever put on a boat. Miserable devices, atrocious voltage regulation, no ability to match...
The difference between the areas of the two halves of the sine wave is the DC component. It is miniscule compared to directly applied DC. The DC...
Yes, AC corrosion is much less insidious than corrosion from DC, but it does exist. At the microscopic level, tiny pits in the steel form their...
Dual purpose batts are generally neither fish nor fowl. You'd generally be better off with 4 good 6V batts like a T-105 and 1 group 27 or 31 for a...
As I'm not in favor of narrow shround bases I'll not offer any advice. But I am reminded of a writing in which the author wondered if the purpose...
Both methods are "Carvel", in the sense of longitudinal planking laid edge-to-edge. You're not talking about a "change of name", but only a...
It's only been polarized by a small but loudly screaming bunch of pie-in-the-sky dreamers who envision a perfect world where everyone eats only...
Even though I watched about half of each video the first sentence told me all I needed to know. :rolleyes: Do they expect any of those concepts to...
Your boat, do what you want, don't think most of us here didn't warn you. John Wayne, his era? Yeah, that was back before effete dandies with...
That Sabb will most likely outlive you and any 10 "High Thrust" motors. The power from a 10kw motor? About like a small garden tractor. Where you...
Older thread, but I couldn't resist. The OPs question is answered by a sign I saw on a pallet of "knock off" anchors that were for sale. "Keep...
Yes, I'll admit I used a poor analogy. The CG has my boat at 5 tons Net, but it displaces a lot more than that.
Isn't 100 CuFt in measurement rules = to 1 ton? That's about or less than 1% of the vessel. Move the interior around and/or eliminate a cabin, now...
Oh yea. A 50-footer in steel? Yeah, I'd probably do right-side-up too, the crane costs, (assuming the cranes have easy access,) for a steel boat...
