Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

Brian, I can manage 7.2 kts with a clean bottom and the throttle wide open. It's not something that I do often or recommend. My typical cruising speed is 6.5 kts, which I can achieve at 2,800-2,900 rpm. I have the Yanmar 3GM30F engine. You're talking about a lot of expense to go just a littl

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

Hi Brian, that would be quite an investment. Realistically, that atomic four, would be giving you about 18hp at about 2600rpm. I don't know what you have for a prop or how old your engine is or what condition it is in. I would, however, direct you over to the Moyer Marine forums. I would ask

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

The manufacturer of the engine does not determine horsepower, and that is really what you are talking about, assuming clean bottom and the right prop. I am not sure about the range of engines available now from Westerbeke, but Yanmar makes a range of engine sizes from too small, to much too larg

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

HI Brian Our 34 has the Yanmar 3GM with Martec folding prop. Clean bottom cruising is 5.5, max is about 6. As I recall, your max speed is supposed to be about 80% of theoretical hull speed with throttle wide open?? Another variable is the calibration of the knotometer and if using the GPS the i

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

Hi Brian, After seeing Legacy's speed with a 3GM, I feel less bad about our speed. I've got a 1978 34 with a 2QM20 and get right around 5.5 with a Mar-Tec folding prop, too. I though she was under-powered, but I guess not. I try not to run wide-open, so I can only guess we'd get to 6kts. Good ne

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

All, The Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34. The original Yanmar 20HP got her to 6.4 knots (Warp 6.4) with a folding prop. The best way to maximize your speed is keeping your bottom clean. Have your boat dived on regularly. During the warmer months, when growth excels, we clean once a week. I t

Re: Stus-List Best Engine?

I’m going to assume that the original poster’s Atomic 4 doesn’t have a reduction gear. that’s the biggest problem with the A4 , it doesn’t make much power under 2500rpm and there are not any props that work well above 2500. A lot of the A4 guys are using Indigo props which will at least get the

Re: Stus-List Best Engine? -> hull speed and power required

Hi, There is a nice web calculator for calculating hull speed, a displacement corrected hull speed (Gerr), and horsepower dependence on speed. It shows for the LF38, a Gerr hull speed of 7.22 Knots and required 35.5 HP to reach 100% of max hull speed. It is interesting to note that 90% of hul

Re: Stus-List solar vent wiggles, doesn't rotate

That wriggle back and forth sounds like low voltage or a failed sector in the motor winding. Along with battery charging issues the low voltage could be caused by corroded connections or wires. It could also be extra load on the motor from friction but if it goes back and forth I lean towards

There are three screws holding the solar panel to the rest of the unit.
