Did my email on this show up?? To repeat – when airplanes suffered from this we used to grab a snack and a full tank of gas and fly around at 100% power (or METO) for three hours or so. I would run your boat flat-out for a bit, that should help. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba

Looking closely at that picture, it looks to that they are not actually scratches, but white plastic or gel-coat impregnated (rubbed) into the casting. Bill Coleman Entrada, Erie, PA From: Dennis C. [mailto:capt...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2020 1:21 PM To: CnClist S

Before you go try it, check your engine manual to see if you have a time limited power settings. METO in airplanes is usually something like 5 minutes, my Atomic 4 can go 100% forever, and I have seen notes with something like a 1 hour limit for redline RPM on some Yanmars. Joe Coquina On 9

Dennis, my cast aluminum stem and line chalks looked similar. I hand sanded and painted them with 2 coats ofRustoleum krylon flat black. This was 2 years ago and they still look good. Fred Hazzard S/V Fury On Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 6:51 AM Bill Coleman wrote: > Looking closely at that picture, i

Attached is the chart of rated continuous output. I couldn't find it but immediately but the 1 hour limit for my 3HM35F is 3400 and the instantaneous limit is 3600. When referring to 80% load I always assume the continuous limit - 3200 for me. So basically whenever I run the engine I try to main

Remember that these are only general guidelines. They don’t have to be followed precisely. Based on my 40+ years experience, I believe that what ultimately kills your engine is not how close you operated within the engine manufacturers guidelines but more serious things like loosing crankcase o

I used that SR-60 the last two years in fresh water, my observation is that it is very ablative. I touched up where it needed it this spring, and gave it a fine sanding to expose it a little better. I think I could braid the grass growing close to my waterline, looks much worse this year. Loo
