Okay then, we have a boat on the way to a broker and suffers a fire
in the middle of the lake with a lone wolf aboard. I can believe it's
not the fault of having an A4 aboard, it could have been a can of
dinghy outboard fuel below

Oh, don't start that again, Kevin!
I understood he was taking the boat down to Buffalo to a broker. not sure how
he ended up over the border in the deepest pool of the lake. There was nothing
below on that boat but a bucket and a handful of pipe berths. on second
thought, it might have
Brian,
I have a Martec Elliptical prop 16" by 14". I have been pretty happy with
it. I cruise at 2850 rpm and make about 6.5 kts. I ran it that way for
13.5 hours yesterday with no issues. Not much wind on the Chesapeake in
July... The prop pushes the boat just fine. No cavitation. My prop
Yeah, that darn doorway keeps banging into my head! You’d think after 15 years
of ownership I’d remember how low it is. Whacked it again this weekend. Ouch!

So, I bought the $50. NRS hypalon glue and accelerator. I used it to attach D
ring pads to my hypalon inflatable. The D rings attached to the davit lines -
one port and one starboard near the bow. Didn't hold. Don't want to spend
another $50 on glue - that's 1/8 the price of the entire dink. Thi
I was wondering if we would hear from you on that one Bill.
It would be interesting to hear what the owner had to say about what
happened.
Precious little in the news reports.
He couldn't put the fire out, escaped in the Zodiac, and the coast guard
took him back home. That was about it.

Edd,
Just curious if you had to destroy your old engine and send them proof of that.
My buddy just ordered a 75 HP Beta from NC and B4 they would ship if from
England, he had to remove the head, drill a hole through the cylinder wall, and
send several pix to them,

I'm not convinced a slightly over pitched prop would encourage an otherwise

Hi Brian,
It depends on the boat but on my 34+ (36 LOA and 30.9 LWL) and My setup is
Yanmar 3GM30F / Kanzaki KM3P / 2.61 My theoretical basic hull speed is
a little over 7.00 knots
When I bought the boat in came with a fixed 3 bladed prop RH 15D X 11P
(Probably a Michigan Wheel) installed
Thanks Andrew, Joel and Mike. That Martec is the same as what I took off in
2002. Never did make 7 kts with that, though do not recall ever trying. The
tach did not work when I had the Martec so have no readings for comparison.
Am not by any stretch a mechanic. According to the Yanmar
Simple Rule of Thumb: If you can't get to max rated RPM, you're over-pitched.
If you can get higher than max rated RPM, you're under-pitched.

Persistence prop is 8 yr old Martec. Stampted on it are "Eleptec" and
"RH16DX14P-3"
Max RPM are 3500 which pushes boat at 7.0 knots over water. Cruising RPM 2400
which gives me 6 knots

I have the 3GM30F on my 35/3 and a MaxProp feathering prop. I get to 3600
RPM, cruise at 2800. I think it is a 16 inch set at 14 degrees, but can
look it up.

It sounds to me like you may be over-revving your engine. My rule of thumb
with my boat (same engine as you) and when I get on a boat I'm delivering,
is to get into open water and, in gear, push the throttle wide open. My
cruising RPM is no more than 75% of that number, which on Peregrine works
out

Update,
I pulled the suction tube and found the strainer to be gummed up. I am almost
certain this was the cause. So my hypothesis is that in high seas and full
