I recommend that he goes to a propeller shop with his numbers (rpm/speed/weight/diameter/pitch/gear reduction) and have them plug it into their...
Generally on a 2300 rpm diesel inboard, I've always seen 1" of pitch gets you 50-75 rpms. It also depends greatly on the reduction ratio as to...
I do every 2 years or 300-500 hours on the engine impellors...…..Depends on what size they are. One generators, I do every year or 200 hours.
Polyform's are better than the Taylors. Taylors have a needle to fill and a bear to deflate. Go with Polyform A4's, they only have 1 fill, but...
The problem from North of Ft. Pierce to New Smyrna is there isn't an inlet worth a sh@t. Vero is a LONG ways to an inlet.
On a diesel 1" of pitch generally gets you 50 rpms. Gas inboards 1" gets you 200 rpms. A lot of boats need to be re-pitched as they get older....

Sounds good. If the gaskets were really dried out, I'd plan on doing the other engine too. Chances are the gaskets on it aren't far behind it,...
I would go with Veems for the props. A lot of different new boats I've been running spec out Veems……..the veems run very smooth throughout the...
No, boat has bunks for I think it is 46 people, had only 34 guests and 5 crew.
That's exactly what I got from the article. But, charter dive boats and fishing boats aren't really the best paying jobs in the industry nor do...
The USCG issued a Marine Safety Bulletin regarding things that seemed to have happened on the Conception. One of them is to not charge lithium...
Yeah, but you're the most important piece of the puzzle. Without you, the team and the supplies wouldn't have gotten there at all!!!!
