So I found another 2 MPH testing today. I have on and off had a doel fin on the drive. With the old prop I preferred it as it cleaned up some porpoising you would get under some circumstances. It would shave 1-2 mph up top as well. I tried this outing the new prop (same 21 I have been running...
This was my last day off (had off for a number of things, wedding included) and figured I would get this thing tuned once and for all...
Long and short: my setup is .092 primary, .089 secondary. 68-57 metering rod and yellow step up spring.
If that sounds familar it should... it is a hybrid of...
Not a bad idea to catch anything that potentially makes it's way into the tank either. I always treated them more as a mild filter than catching much of any water... the big racor in the 330 I think holds less than a quart of water even.
It wouldn't be as strong as a continuous laminate... and the slight angle of the layup at the overlap is "weaker" as the glass is only strong in it's plane.
I've seen it reccomended both ways is why I asked. I know FAA is small to large but they're typically bagging if memory serves (and as you said).
Honestly I don't know that any of us are stressing the materials enough to have it actually matter all that much... as I think back to my boat with...
The planing at 18-19 mph is going to be tough to overcome. That usually never changes unless you really under prop it, at least in my experience, or have trim tabs.
Dad had a game fisher growing up as well. Had a 9.9 ted Williams outboard as well I believe. Used to overheat (he built it himself from parts) as the water tube wasn't aligned right. So your run it a bit. Stop. Dump water on the power head. Then go again.
I'm with joe, I'd go short side first...
I would try and inspect the cooler. If something is obstructing it you could force it further down if you back flush. For example a broken impeller blade
When it's in saturation the equilibrium drives the other way. If you leave e10 on a bench in an open jar you will actually see it absorb water and have droplet formation on the surface. If you have enough water in the fuel it can and does drive the other way. We do washes like this all the time...
Flip is great. If you want something even smaller, the clip is also good. The flip sounds better but I like the clip because I can keep it really quiet at the beach so it doesn't reach beyond our immediate area.
So I finally had a day off between events. I'll be out now for wedding festivities as someone decided to make me best man. (2 friends, twice this happened now. I'm not best at anything but I digress)
Anyway. Got the stereo tuned. Compounded the deck and most importantly, replaced all the rail...
Drill slightly larger, run a pipe cleaner through with some resin to coat it. Let that soak in the core and set. Then bed eye in. I'd use boat life. The 5200 alone will eventually shrink and pull away leaving an air space. It isn't what it used to be. If you ever need to replace the boat life is...
Paying for the convenience?
My local BJs does the 6 foot heros for about 37$ out the door. Good quality bread too. I went through my local deli and supermarket and they were nearly triple the price. Bread sourced from the same vendor too....
