  3. what prop

    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)

    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

    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

    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
