Im running 4 blade 20x20 Med cup 21-22kt at 2750rpm, ill be pulling my engines this week to fix the engine beds and get the shaft angle shallower. When they pulled her for the season i was able to put a tape measure on everything and boy did they do a shit install. one engine is an inch closer to th...

I'd say it could at times help. I had the rubber exhaust flappers on my 440's. Trying to reduce fumes coming back in I tried angling the Rubber Flappers...at idle it pushed the fumes outwards a little, not much. I then screwed the inside section of the flap which directed the exhaust outwards even ...

Hey Tony, i get it pretty bad when i have all my isinglass up running at 20+ knots. Over the summer my brother inlaw being on the boat the first time said he could smell fumes also down on the deck while underway. didn't really pay attention to the wind direction though, would that make a difference...

You guys think these deflectors would help with the station wagon effect? I know if i put a swim platform on it will but kinda dont want too

the only time i use my tabs is when i want to go faster in the no wake zone

if i put them all the way down i put out much lower wake

Chris, where are located in Boston? My 31 is in Hull on the hard for the winter. i have the same Tabs i think.

saburke17

Pete, Im in Mass now. Have the boat down at Steamboat Wharf in Hull, going to be pulling the engines out and fixing a bunch of the Bullshit work the FL douche did.

Rick ill be following this thread, I installed the EMU-1 system on my Tier 1 yanmars and they work great. i get engine temp, turbo psi, tach, oil pressure, water temp, volts, transmission temp & pressure Im going to remove all my mechanical gauges this winter as i don't even look at them anymore. I ...

Ironworker can you start a post on your fly by wire controls? Im seriously considering doing that this winter. what is your engine setup and cost if you don't mind on the controls

31' or 32 will look ridiculous, needing a 29 foot bridge clearance in FL was a colossal pain in the ass. i have a pair of 32's from rupp and i called them and they were able to custom turn new end points for me. I removed the last section and shortened them by something like 90 inches. Mine are from...

IronWorker, my tower is set the exact same way. my hatches are cut at an angle and have a hinge on them. they flip up to open all the way the way and they pop back down when you get past the leg https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1laf7g0e4m6ojz/DSC_0011.JPG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/82mu89xqvdbdriu/DSC...

KTM, the quality of the LT rod holders is unmatched. installed a pair of 0 degree on my transom corners. All the big Tuna guys up use them up here. They come with the bolts and backing plate. will be changing out the last 4 Lee holders over the winter

saburke17

Raybo which manufacturer are those decks? i have the same ones and looking to maybe replace them

saburke17

Bob your 315's have over 900ft lbs of torque?

saburke17

I have been told via a Mastry Guy that if you wanted a pair of banned yanmars, all you needed to do was buy them in Bimini. Run your boat over and have the repower done there and then come home. I wonder if there's a difference between that and importing a boat that has them? I got a brand new 4lha-...

How much can rudder alignment affect performance? When the yard pulled my rudders to repack them, i noticed that they are now 5 degrees off so i have keep the wheel 5 degrees to port to go straight. i also noticed the are not parallel to each other one is say 2 or so degrees out of whack. adjusting ...

station wagon effect, i knew there was a name but couldn't think of it. Thanks guys!!

saburke17

Hey guys, what would cause the exhaust to be pushed/sucked backwards towards the helm? On my trip i noticed that when my front strataglass was down there was noticeable diesel exhaust smell being sucked into the helm while i was steaming forward at 20 knots, Any idea's?

Sean

saburke17

Guys this is great info thank you, Bruce was it buck shot or rock salt out of the shotgun?

saburke17

soooo don't want to drop the headliner, i have the fiberglass insert that pushed the ceiling up. Maybe ill find another spot lol

saburke17

Hey guys, the "visor" that runs along the top of the windows which would be at feet height on the helm. I know its hollow but is there access to the underside of the helm? if i wanted to mount a light or something that needed power can a wire be run easily to under the helm https://i.imgur.com/CX0oz...

Exciting times ahead, The trip that has been long in the making is now here. I'll be running her from St Pete Fl all the way to Hingham Ma, The plan will be to run across the Okeechobee waterway. Then up to Jacksonville, From there i'll run all the way up to southport NC. I was planning on Ducking i...

3000 Rpm's 27 knots, WOT 3200 rpms 28.4 knots. Will take 2 inch's of pitch and call it day 21x22 light to medium cup

"...and that is a big reason why I stepped out of the recreational end of the business" Carl, im not a "stupid" boater. I Don't just randomly do things because i think i know better then everyone. Before i even started this repower the first thing i did was have a marine architect do a prop analysis...

saburke17

Carl are you a machinist by chance? Nice math!! You are very close, im running 20 degrees of pitch vs 18 but again you're very close. short answer on the props, the morons doing the repower thought the props were the issue when in fact it was a turbo issue. The figured since the Turbos were new the ...

F this thing.........Can i say that? most recent painful update, So last update when i ran her 45 mins to the new boat yard for some punch list items and then tragedy strikes. They had a few items done and wanted to run her to get some final numbers before they pulled the props. I get a call and the...

saburke17

I plan on spending plenty of time figuring that stuff out. Will be running her up the coast from Fl to Mass in the spring so I'll be able to monitor speed and fuel burn in long spurts

saburke17

Yeah its 31, main tank in the middle is 215 gallons. the two saddle tanks are 40 gallons each. the exhaust openings are about 90 % covered as it sits now loaded down

saburke17

Finally she is alive.... got her out running Friday. 19 knots @2900 rpms. About 3 inches under pitched. Hit 3720 rpms WOT with 285 gallons of fuel, 3 guys, spare props and crap on board. The 18x18 are off any will be moving up in size. This has been a long pain in the ass project and when she jumped...

A quick update, My mechanic has been out for personal reasons and just got back to the boat last week. He popped the turbos out because he wanted to make sure the aftercooler wasn't plugged Turbo's are being tested and the plugs resealed as they were dripping some antifreeze. He popped the valve cov...

saburke17

Finally got a yanmar mechanic recommended and he found a few items that he thinks may be the culprit. He seems confident that its a fuel supply issue and not an actual Turbo one, He found a couple of immediate issues like the port side fuel line wasn't even clamped down tight, the racor filters are ...

saburke17

Whelp, i got my hands on her. And wish i could could get my hands around the mechanics neck. Back story.....one of the engines was fully rebuilt by us, the other has 500 hours on it. when i did the complete rebuild i also had them do the following to the rebuilt one. strip the cooling system off to ...

saburke17

Boy do we have problems...... So after going through this entire thing i can completely understand now about the importance of shaft angles. My construction brain was thinking about things not backwards but close. here is where i stand now. we got her in the water all set ready to rock and roll with...

saburke17

yannis, you're absolutely correct. Goddess of the Sea

saburke17

Yeah I have 40 gallon saddles.

saburke17

Got her out finally, 18 knots at 2100 rpm. 290 gallons of fuel, 2 guys and tools. Still need tweak the electronics and next time out we'll run her to 2800 for cruise numbers

saburke17

KTM....Yes that's on the menu, in fact i'm going to round all the edges and taper what i can. wont happen till end of the season as i'm rushing to get her back in the water. I did the shaft logs per the tips, doubling them up and i'm following the high performance shafting as much as possible. Ernie...

original 454 setup 17 inch props

i was told by two different yanmar re-builders that the factory paint is crap and very thin. recommended me to paint each piece before reassembly with minimum 2 coats during my rebuilds
