Re: Cruising and Modern Conveniences- All is good with Universe

Au contraire mon ami!

I say:Vive la différence!

I do genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate the efforts of yourself and the OP to keep the anchorages free of yourselves by staying...

Re: Cruising and Modern Conveniences- All is good with Universe

Guilty as charged, I'm just a poor miserable fool whiling away my days in a hellish south pacific anchorage with no prospect of shore power, a Marina potluck dinner or even a Mc Donald's for at...

Re: Running a two stroke from a large static tank? How to deal with mix?

If you really insist on going the oil injection route Suzuki built a series of oil-injected two strokes in the late 80's. Might be cheaper/easier to find a couple of those 2nd hand than installing a...

Re: Cruising and Modern Conveniences- All is good with Universe

Oh, we are still out here (currently French Polynesia in my case), but we consider ourselves "nomadic anchor-outs" since the Marina rats appropriated the term "cruisers"

Re: Problem to lower gaff boom

I do the same, if you let the peak get horizontal or below the throat it can jam.

I also wonder if you have too much friction in your peak halyard? On a 35ft cutter with a 350 Sq ft main, both my...

Re: Yamaha 9.9 4Stroke what prop on 5ton catamaran? Fixing spun prop?

Not very well, again that prop is for a standard gearbox (2x reduction), not the high thrust (3x réduction). You really need to make sure the diameter (11¾ inches) is correct

Re: Yamaha 9.9 4Stroke what prop on 5ton catamaran? Fixing spun prop?

That SVB prop is not designed for the high thrust motors.

I would either stick with the stock prop or drop down to the 11³/4 x 7 prop (this is what I run on a 35ft mono, gives 5 knots at 4000 rpm,...

Re: Yamaha 15F 2-stroke outboard hard to start

The F15 is indeed a 4 stroke, but the motor in question is a 15F (two stroke) sometimes known as the "leisure" model to differentiate it from the 15hp Enduro (e15d?)
