Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

I've considered cruising by myself, but somehow I don't want to. I've been married most of my life and to three different women. And all three I remain friend with and feel fortunate having them in...

Re: Single Men Living Aboard and Cruising... an honest look.

Well said. I too lost a woman that I loved very much and while I've been without her for the past 3 years, I know not to give up. We spent 11 years together sailing some and then moving to the...

Re: How to keep mold out and the hull smelling good

One home remedy is to mix a quart of hot water and add 2 parts borax, 2 parts baking soda and 1 part TSP. I think I've read a teaspoon is the right amount for 1 quart. I've also seen the formula...

Re: Highfield

I can tell you what worked for me in getting the dinghy to plane, although I was dealing with a much smaller outboard and dinghy than you and the my approach may not scale. I had a 10 foot wooden...

Re: Perkins 4.108 - which variant?

Re: Perkins 4.108 - which variant?

Hi Mike

I'm using about .75 gal/hr at cruising speed. My hull speed is about the same as yours. (It's a Tayana 37 with almost a 32 ft waterline) And I can achieve hull speed at 3000 on my tach. ...

Re: Perkins 4.108 - which variant?

Mine is a 1985 model and the manual refers to it as "new 4108. I'm surprised that the max ratings are the same but yet the continuous ratings are different. I've set the pitch on my max prop so...

Re: Max Prop v1 - locking collar

I've had my max prop since 1985 when the boat was brand new and it is a great prop. I too have a 4108 Perkins with a tranny of 2.1: 1 reduction on a 17 inch prop. The boat is a 37 foot Tayana with...

Re: California Dive Boat Fire to Put Spotlight on Titanic's Legal Defense – gCaptain

If the ruling on the petition is to take place after the investigation, then why file the petition so soon after the event? It certainly did the owner no good in public relations.
