We just got A-11 down the dock from where your boat's previous home was :)
I believe so. I don't particularly remember what the acronym stands for, but the numbers look right.
I toured Carver's new Sojourn 44 at the Miami boat show last month; beautiful boat, but I was really impressed with the mileage. It is spec'd to...
LMAO - so true! After a 7 year hiatus from boating, we got back into it 2 summers ago. The wife said "go ahead and buy what you think will be...
NYCAP, would you explain what you mean in "the larger boat getting you there sooner" ; do you mean in rough seas solely? I'd think that power is...
Timvail, I think what we did is exactly what you're looking to do. We had a Maxum 2400SCR pocket cruiser with mid cabin, and while it had lots of...
In and around Long Island where so many do not know the rules of the 'road,' combined with little room for error on weekends due to everyone out...
That sounds like a good conclusion; displacement hull can achieve fuel savings going on one engine, but not a planing hull. Hull speed seems to...
How much improvement are you talking about on one engine? While I've seen some say running on one engine reduces fuel consumption, I've also read...
That's exactly what happened on my port motor. Remote oil filter adapter broke, all oil spilt into bilge within like 30 seconds, no alarm, engine...
I think you were in A3, weren't you, the boat with the mural? What happened to your engine(s)?
Here's the formula for hull speed as Pascal described: square root of length of hull at waterline x 1.34 . If your boat at waterline is 37 ft,...
Update after reading over old posts; new port engine being installed today. Lost all its oil to the bilge 2 times and screwed up the bearings due...
The most efficient fuel economy is achieved at 'hull speed,' which is about 8 knots. It will take you forever to get anywhere but that is the...
Eddie, if you have a hand pump toilet like Raritan or Jabsco, when it is full you won't be able to to pump the handle anymore. Don't worry about...
I'm no expert, but I've heard that the d/c draw on the marine fridge's are significantly less than what is drawn using the a/c mode. You may...
Before you go removing things, a usual culprit is a loose connection on top of the tank. Check that the nut, bolt, or connector is tight where...
I'm by far an expert on this sort of thing, but I've read that cruising 'hull speed' is the most efficient for miles per gallon. It's calculated...
That sounds about right. Once the generator is turned on, I hear an automatic switch behind the AC panel kick on, so must assume that it closes...
Just a quick question while on the subject; on my panel I don't have any gen/shore power slider and have wondered what would happen if my shore...
