This company called STEINBAUER apparently can convert select diesel engines (Yanmar 4JH45 and Volvo Penta D3) from their base HP to the model up. Specifically to Yanmar, it appears that the 45 and 57 are the same engine. Similar to changing a Mercury 3.5hp carb to a 5hp one, this looks like it just elongates the fuel injection timing and doesn’t change compression or anything else. I’d be weary of many performance upgrades to engines but if all the assertions hold true, it seems like a pretty good fit (plus changing the prop). I’ve seen one YouTube channel do this but would be curious to see other thoughts. Seems like this came about from more agricultural machinery which makes more sense of the limitation of engines this works on.

our 3 strand bridal lines are nicely fouled. So far only the soft stuff, but I need to get rid of it before the hard stuff grows.


We are in 30 degree warm water and, unfortunately, due to the refit still stationary.


The obvious remedy to prevent this would be of course:
Go sailing! Anchor less!


How do I get efficiently rid of that stuff?
How do I prevent it?
Paint with antifouling paint?


Thoughts? Clever ideas?


Thanks for your help.

A rare, lesser-known William Crealock design. The 36 Tiburon was eventually lengthened and became the Cabo Rico 38.

Purchased in Florida in the winter of 2023 and then I spent the summer of 2024 sailing it up to the Chesapeake from New Orleans after a mini-refit. Since the end of that trip Ive been too busy to use her much.

The previous owner did an extensive 10 year refit and launched I think in 2018. He unfortunately passed away from COVID, then the boat was sold to a family friend who didnt hang onto it long before he sold it to me during the height of the post-COVID boat buying frenzy.

Many aspects of the refit were detailed on a blog by the PO: https://tiburon36.blogspot.com/ , and I have just about all of the receipts and documentation for the equipment onboard.

Solona is off-grid ready with 880w of solar and about 512 AH of lithium batteries. I can be away from the dock for weeks at a time.

Shes needs some cosmetic touch ups here and there but Im chipping away at those projects as I can (touching up paint, waxing, etc etc).

More pictures here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=drive_link


Walk-through video here: https://youtu.be/BR_MWFw7Yvo

Serious inquiries only. I live two hours away from the boat and its not that convenient to drive back and forth. She is docked in a transferable slip at Anchorage Marina in Baltimore.


- Doyle battenless main (two reefs), mizzen (one reef), jib, genoa, and separate APC (Asymmetric Power Cruiser) sails for main and mizzen. Ive never used the APC sails at all. The Doyle set was as new (about $15k) and totally unused when I bought the boat, and they are still in very good condition. The boat also has a full backup set of main, mizzen, jib from another sail loft that are in good condition.

- New whisker pole. I never used it.

- Two new booms and boom fittings for main and mizzen from US Spars, and new standing rigging

- Two Lewmar 46 chrome 2 speed self tailing winches

- A new Beta 37.5 (now has about 520 hours). The engine had 70 hours when I bought it. Meticulously maintained with oil changes on schedule and zincs and impellers changed when needed

- Dual Racor fuel filter system

- All new electrical, pex plumbing, steering cables, and rework of the interior layout

- All new stainless steel port lights from Newfound metals

- New 225 AH AGM house batteries installed in 2020

- 65lb rocna-style spade anchor with a roll bar (forget the make but will verify once Im back at the boat), attached to 200 of 3/8 chain that looked like it was barely used when I got it, and still in good condition

- Backup 45lb CQR with 100 of rode at the bow

- 25lb CQR with 100 of rode, aft deck

- Lawrence Simpson seatiger manual windlass

- Composting head

- Force10 Kerosene cooking stove

- Rebuilt bowsprit

- Hard dodger

- About 50 gallon diesel tank with 25 extra gallons of diesel jugs

- About 120 gallons of water in two tanks

- All the underwater through hulls were reduced from several to just two: the raw water intake for the engine, and the drain for the cockpit. Both through hulls were new bronze and still in excellent condition. All the greywater onboard collects into a central grey water tank which is then pumped overboard via an above-waterline through hull

- Whale gusher 30 emergency manual bilge pump

- Isotherm fridge/freezer that still works very well

- Isotherm water heater that I took out of the loop because I think its corroding internally, but its still installed

- Mastervolt 2000w inverter

- ProMariner ProNautic 1260P Battery Charger

- Epurb

- A custom wood burning stove that the owner fabricated himself. Cozy when its cold

Upgrades/work since 2023:

- New Whale 220 grey water and 330 bilge pumps

- New jabsco pressure water pump

- Brand new PRM 125 transmission (upgraded from the stock PRM 120) last fall with about 4 hours on it, with new damper plate and flexible coupling

- Two new 440w (880w total) bifacial solar panels installed 2024 with new Victron solar charge controller

- 512 AH of lithium batteries added to the house bank. This is overkill for the boat but youll have plenty of capacity. I dont need to be connected to shore power

- Induction cooktop

- New topside paint in 2024. Total boat wet edge DIY

- Bottom paint in the summer of 2024

- Complete tear down and rebuild of the rudder using 316 stainless shaft and 316 stainless 1/4 webbing (fabricated by a reputable machine shop in New Orleans) as the inner skeleton with 16lb closed cell urethane foam as the filling. The stock Tiburon rudder is a serious weakness, and rebuilding it was a HUGE job that you wont have to worry about for a very long time

- Digital Yacht Nomad 2 class B AIS rec

- Depending on final sale price, includes 2.5hp Suzuki four stroke barely used and Portland pudgy dinghy

I've never changed them since to date since I've only ever used known good city tap water. I finally decided to change them out on general principal. I looked up the labels on the filter elements and found not a carbon filter but a water softener cartridge. Is this common? Is it a good idea to put in another softener cartridge? I assume since we don't have particularly hard water here, that the idea is to reduce scale built up?


If you was me, what two filters would you choose? IIM, we tend to use bottled water for drinking and coffee and only use tank water for showers, washing up etc.

This time because I had replaced one of the spark plug wires but did not install the spring termination properly so it did not connect the wire and the spark plug electrically. This caused voltage to build up in the coil and the powerpack causing it to fail.


The powerpacks are readily available from OMC, Sierra and other aftermaket manufacturers but are expensive. They fail so frequently I thought some understanding is called for. I was unable to find a schematic or any other useful detail of how they work anywhere.


The part in question is OMC 0582452. This part number supersedes part 582453 due to renumbering and replaces obsolete parts 583380 and 582452. Aftermarket equivalents are: Sierra Marine 18-5758, Recmar REC0582452, and Mallory Marine 9-25002.


Here are photos of the older OMC powerpack that I have.

The flash memory in the 25 year old course computer had started to fail and so the computer would lose the compass calibration when powered off.

I purchased the pypilot package including the pi, HAT, enclosure, wireless remotes, cable, connectors, and 30 amp motor controller from navitop.fr. Total landed cost in the USA including shipping and tariffs was just over $500. This compares to the $2979 street price for the Raymarine EV-200 package plus the wireless remote kit.

I reused my existing Raymarine below-deck linear drive.

The system has mostly worked out of the box but I encountered a bug that caused the pilot to crash after the WiFi when the SSID was changed to include a space. Required reflashing the SD card to recover.

Configuration of gains and motor control settings was straightforward and well documented. At some point I will integrate my chartplotter and wind sensor but have not yet done this.

I am now running the autopilot in basic heading-hold mode with good results and far less power consumption than the previous system. It is much more gentle with the steering system and, I expect, will cause less wear.

Recommended.

This is a 10' long hard dinghy intended to be a more functional alternative to a RIB, with more interior space, better rowing performance, and longer useful life. It is suitable for towing or davits. It will not fit reasonably on the foredeck of my Tartan 3800 but may fit on the foredeck of larger vessels.

I haven't had it on the scale but believe that the completed hull weight is around 110 pounds.

For propulsion I am using an older, rebuilt Evinrude 15 hp two-stroke which will drive the hull to 18 knots with one person. I am switching to a lower pitch prop to improve planing performance with heavier loads and may give up some top speed as a result.

Some key design points for my particular build:
  • Foam inside all seat benches for full compliance with USCG level flotation requirements. Boat will remain level with the powerhead and gunwales above water in the event it is swamped.
  • Recoil start for lighter weight and simplicity
  • Depth finder with 600 foot capacity. Depth data provided by an Airmar bronze thru-hull tilted-element transducer under the aft bench. Reliable depth data even at higher speeds. No protruding brackets or wires to break or snag. Norcross Hawkeye display head
  • Steering compass for navigation in fog. Backlit for use at night
  • Automatic bilge pump
  • COLREGS-compliant LED navigation lights including permanently mounted separate sidelights and a removable pole-mounted stern all-around light
  • Electrical power provided by a removable 12v 6ah power tool battery. Equipped with a low-voltage disconnect and ABYC compliant overcurrent protection. Sufficient power for at least 12 hours operation of lights and depth sounder, or to pump out about 15" of rainfall
  • 3 removable/repositionable folding seats on rails, with swivels, for comfort for longer trips (fishing)
  • Gaco oarlocks
  • Mantus dinghy anchor with 5' of stainless steel 3/16" chain and 80 feet of 8-plait rope
  • Watertight deck plate on forwardmost seat leading to storage area (hollowed out from the foam) for an electronic flare, whistle, paperwork, and other safety and compliance items
  • Antifouling bottom paint
  • Awlgrip on topsides
  • High transom designed for use with a long-shaft motor, for greater resistance to boarding waves in following seas
  • Schaefer padeye mounted low on the bow transom and heavily reinforced for towing
First photo shows the Fast Garvey alongside the two-piece nesting Chameleon.

The GV-10 hull is beamy and carries a good deal of beam fore and aft. An adult can stand anywhere on the gunwales or bow/stern transom without destabilizing the boat.

I am planning on adding a pair of NRS Advantage 8' two-piece aluminum oars to provide a meaningful backup in the event of engine failure. Taken down these will store in clips on the forward and aft faces of the aft seat box.

Gunwale fendering approach TBD

Main intended area of use is Lake Superior with occasional forays into the other Great Lakes and connected river systems.

I also have a second MPPT controller now (Victron 100/20) and 2 more 100w panels.

I believe I read somewhere that using a separate controller for each solar panel was a good thing so question 1 is:

1. Should I keep my two existing panels on the existing Chinese MPPT controller and put the two new ones on the Victron (and I assume the new output to the batteries would go to the same battery poles as the existing)?

2. Should I route all 4 panels to the (presumed superior) Victron controller?

3. Should I create a second battery bank of the two new batteries and the Victron and use that bank for one of my two (main) loads: the Autohelm and the Fridge? Those new batteries and the Victron were experimentally running the Fridge the past month so I know they’re plenty capable. But I tend to prefer the idea of one battery bank.

4. Is my assumption in #1 wrong in that if I use two controllers their input cables to the battery bank should not go to the same battery terminals as my existing controller cables go to?

One can adjust the default value for new routes in Options / Ships / Routes/Points-> Waypoint Arrival Distance. For existing waypoints the value can be adjusted in Properties/Extended->Arrival Radius.

My plugin AutoTrackRaymarine has an steadily growing user base. For proper steering with the plugin the arrival radius is important. It is the point where the next waypoint is activated and the turn towards the next segment of the route is initiated. When waypoints are close together, segments may be shorter then for example the default arrival radius of 0.05, resulting in activation of the second (or even third) next waypoint before passing the next. This may require adjustment of the arrival radius of the route points in the route. But this is a time consuming job, too many clicks per waypoint. Earlier I have advised users to export the route, edit the arrival radius in the xml file and import the route again. Quick and easy. But this does not work for shared points, these shared points will not be adjusted and remain as they are. So a better and easier way for the adjustment of waypoints is a route is needed.

The adjustment of the arrival radius is now in the waypoint properties window. But when you need the overview of the route it is more practical to use the route properties window for the adjustment of the arrival radius. Further, as the value of the arrival radius can be dependent on the segment length in the route, you need these values at hand. There for I propose to add a column Arrival Radius to the route properties window. With a little help of Copilot made an implementation for that functionality in https://github.com/douwefokkema/OpenCPN/tree/arr2. A compiled binary (windows only, opencpn.exe) is available in https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rsv6l...=n0bltgqy&dl=0

To run this binary, temporarily replace the opencpn.exe file in your Program Files Files (x86)/OpenCPN directory with my opencpn.exe
.
How to use. Open the route properties window. A column with the arrival radius for each waypoint has been added. Values in this column can always be edited manually. In the text control field Arrival Radius above the columns a value can be given and confirmed with Enter. That value will be applied as new value for the arrival radius for all waypoints. So all waypoints are updated in one Enter. But when a 0 (zero) is entered in this field all values of the arrival radius that were greater than 20% off the leg distance (towards that waypoint) are adjusted to this 20% of the leg distance. However the arrival distance will never be smaller than 0.005 nm.

From my point of view this is a very flexible, quick and user friendly way of setting the arrival radiuses for a route. And bear in mind, when a route is reversed arrival radiuses may require updating, but that is just 2 clicks away.
