  2. Hi all i am looking for a reasonable priced travel power system for my boat has anyone got any leads i might be able to follow up maybe even a friend of a friend how had one in their loft in 1992 any help would be great many thanks
  3. so what we can derive from this is there is no sience to this its almost hit and miss with some experiance to back it up. now i know nothing about this issue hence the original question but if it is so "hit n miss" why do people go on about getting there boat "proped" to achive maximum speed, stopping power and minumal diesel consumption. a prop is by no means in the cheaper section of building a boat and the last thing i want after spending my money is to get it in the water to find that its cr@p for the want of a better term, i have been planning this for some time now and just want to get it rite first time as when its finished i wont have a bean to correct duck ups i hv now spoken to crowthers and they were very helpfull but could not give a final answer as they need to check the engines power band i weill update as to the result (if i ever get one)
  4. hi chris still o u a beer from your previous help about hydralics iv got the ruston 2vth just trying to sort the boat out to go aroud it is this common that diferent people come to such diferent answers, is there not a caculation or fumular that gives one answer every time????

  7. Hi speed wheel narrowboat will be 60ft x 6.9 (ish) @ waterline draft of 2ft so a caculated weight of 18 ton (aprox) hp = 15 @ 1500 rpm (175.5nm of torque @ flywheel) looking at hydraulic drive with 2:1 reduction and estimate room for about 18" prop (allowing space) any help would be great many thanks
  8. Hi all Is there a calculation i can use to help me decide what prop would be best for my boat i know the engine torque gear reduction and also calculated torque at the prop and i know aprox boat dimentions eg draft weight ect can anyone help me? many thanks

  13. as a new member of the forum i was woundering if anyone was goiong to the B.C.B.F this weekend (10th sept) would be nice to meet some members. is there a secret handshake to use when meeting fellow members? i wouldnt want to miss out
  14. to my understanding you can use it after eight as long as its not a hired vesal, you are in constant motion and have suficiant cover and if anyone was thinking of doing "IT" in a hired vesal id think about the price implication of "prolonged pleasure"
  15. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  16. i have no such "health and safty" plate on my boat (46ft narrow beam) and have had a total of ten on boadr plus pets and as long as they are distributed evenly the operating of the boat was no diferent to when i was single handed. i do know of the plates you are refering to however there is a man in a office somewere (no were near a canal or any other water course)that pulls the number out of his hat and expects people to obay him remove it or get a "dremal" and change th number . that would be my advice but remember this i am not a boat builder nor am i a mathamatical genius . ultimutly its your call hope you solve you problem noimnotonfacebook
  17. thanks to all that have welcomed me "not sure about the gender bender bit" if it was directed at me i am yet to start "gender bending" and nor am i likly to. If however it was directed to "pirate" i think its up to him (if he is a he and not a she). also are you asking for the purpose of gaining information to help you on your quest to become a "gender bender"? or are you asking inway of aplication to become a "gender benders" mate? so to the pub i think happy keyboard tapping noimnotonfacebook
