Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Hi Guys, thanks for the fed back. To answer you Sim, I can see no hook in the hull at all or any wedges. This problem is only with no tab, slight tab corrects it. They don’t extend below the hull when retracted. Bulkheads have zero water. They were encapsulated in fiberglass so heavy but not water l...

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Bob, I had this boat to a bare hull, and there was no ballast anywhere. We are running now 19X24, we used to have 19X 23 cupped and with the Chryslers 17X18 ??????? so I doubt the props, what do you think? Keith I will take videos from the cockpit and also from another boat once I’m back in. As per ...

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Plugging the whole and going out with one rudder does seem like a good idea. Im going to be ashore for at least 2 weeks as im off to FL next week so il probably do this when i return. Yep these barniclas were from her, but it was when she sat for 3 monhs waiting for engines, i never ran her wih this...

Re: Bahia Windscreen

In all fairness to him, he did not say he can’t build a windscreen for the Bahia Mar just not this custom one. Here is what he told me "We could not make this as it would be custom and require tooling costs making the project very cost prohibitive on your part. Wish the process was easier and I had ...

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Ok Pat I will no longer use that term! I will proceed in aligning the rudder and take it from there.

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Hi, It dips quite a bit even at cruise and instead of the bow proud angle she runs pretty flat. From cruise up to full throttle the boat speed increase all the way and to me quite normally. In all these pictures she has a slight tab applied, if it were to be removed after a few seconds the problems ...

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Hi Pat, Yes she always did this even before any refit and with the Chryslers. She was stock back then and was light. Sim not stupid questions at all. I will double check the tabs, but I’m almost certain they retract above the hull bottom. When a slight negative tab is on the portside the problem sto...

Re: Shaft and Rudder alignment

Hi Pat, She is powered with 250 hp 6BTA with 1.5:1 gears. Once you past 18kts the steering gets mushy an you can see the wake start to change then bow down. This boat used to do this way back when she had the Chryslers in her. The tank is the smaller original fuel tank. Since the rebuild she is quit...
