Yes that is a 3cyl 720d kubota supermini, I have the flywheel and all related parts. I like the engine but the fuel consumption numbers are not that great. I just stripped it down for cleaning and...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Yes I did talk about a dual purpose outboard. My thoughts are that I will do some research into the torqueedo electric outboards, from what I can tell they are light weight and can produce plenty of...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Robert Sailor the idea of a small outboard that could be used on the boat and on my tender sounds good, if it were to be used on both I don't see it being more then 4hp what do you think? And then...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

What would you consider the minimum amount of chain needed. I have only had 20ft of chain on any of my boats so far. Thanks Charley

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Grant I think your right. I too have seen outboards get dunked. I am going to check into trading my 3 cylinder kubota mini for a 2 cylinder mini. I am also going to check into hydraulic drive...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Stu thank you for your input. The kubota I have is of the mini series I dont think it is the same as your thinking about but I do agree that 15hp is over kill for my boat. As for displacement there...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Adodero I didnt choose a bayliner I chose a Gary Mull design that happened to be built by bayliner and at least 2 other manufacturers. From what I read this boat should sail well and with the right...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Adelie I have 3 chain plates on each side of the boat and 2 in the rear and 1 in the front. This leads me to believe that this boat does have double lower shrouds. Its hard to get to my mast because...

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Re: Living aboard a 25 ft while crossing oceans

Eyschulman thanks for your input. This boat has what I suspect would be over kill for the rudder, but I agree a back up system should be in place. When I am done with the project there will only be...
