Yannis- - in my boat the batteries sit on a shelf that bridges across the center V. It is a good 5" off the bottom so water easily flows under. Shelf sits on small tabs I glassed in at the center set of stringers, then glassed shelf to stringers and tabs. Simple and solid, holds 3 batteries, low an...

Yep

Thanks, I think to put the batteries in the center of the engines too for the weight. Did someone tried before?

Hi guys

Did you guys have rocking problems when anchor? They move more than other boats. Any suggestions?

Hi Guys What engine controls did you recommend for a B28 with gas Mercruiser? I was thinking in put both engines in one side with double action engine controls. What pros and cons did you have for that? Right now I have trannys on the left and throttle on the right in two different doble engine cont...

Damn, It will look nice.

Hi guys

Did anyone make a transom door in a B28 ?

Google it, they're one of the leading companies worldwide.

Yannis:

Did you have a bank of batteries for that or just a battery for accessories? In my boat I have 3 batteries, one for each motor and one for accessories. I don't know if everybody have the same configuration.

Cup, when a prop has it, is an extra...."curl" on the trailing edge of the propeller the sort of direct the flow more straight rearward, and allows more forward speed with a propeller, without having the baggage of extra pitch at all rpm. There seems to be a numbering system for how big that curl, ...

I have 1973 B 28 with crusader 270hp .17x18 prop with a #3 cup and it cruises around 20-21 knots. Do any of you have any cup in your wheels? Last year I had prop shop put a # 7 cup in it and I was cruising 22knots at 2900rpm. Nice speed but my wot was only 3900rmp. so this year I had them drop the ...

I have a 28 with Mercruiser 350 mpi (fuel injection) 2003 and I personally rebuild it. This motors are cheap to repair and maintain. It cruise @3200 rpm 22 knots. If you don't use a lot your boat on long cruises is better be on gas the maintenance is cheap.

Good morning

I want to know if my 28 is in the numbers. I have twin 350 mercruisers mpi and my cruising speed is 22knots at 3200rpm. How much speed you get?

Thanks

Fonsim, I also am from PR and have a B28. My Mase IS2500 gen was installed between the engines and it ran a 10,000 btu A/C and a small refrigerator. I believe its better for maintenance compared to either of the sides. A friend of mine has a northern light 5kw to port and is a pain for servicing. I...

Thanks!

I'm in Puerto Rico that the lowest temp in the night is 78F. I need an A/C . I have a Westernbeke 4.5kw but I think is too much and is like 300lbs. But I think that at least I need 3kw generator to run at least(battery charger and a/c) Anyone have this configuration in your boat?

Search under members and you can find conchy Joe's email and send him a PM.

Tony,


Did he have a generator set up?

Yannis,

I need the generator to run the a/c (12,000 btu) and the battery charger.

Good afternoon

I'm planning to install a power generator in my B28 but I wonder where to install it? I see that some people installed it in the middle of the engines. Could i see some pics of it? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yannis,

Thanks for the help.

Capt Rex, here's what I did. First I removed the long and ugly pulpitt. Then I bonded the deck to the hull. http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab251/yet15/IMG_20141023_100049_zpsvrkodczw.jpg Then we measured and created this fiberglass base: http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab251/yet15/IMG_201410...
