Hold your foot on the brake in an auto car and increase the revs, you will see the block turn in the bay and stay there until you take your foot off the throttle.

Boats are always going uphill so the engine is always trying to turn in the opposite direction to the crankshaft.

Mercs don't have a built in bias, does your Yammy have one?

In a Clockwise rotating prop you want to approach a wharf with the starb. side closer and then when you hit reverse the boat should skew into position.

How do you explain that when the higher water pressure is at the bottom of the prop, the prop is spinning anti clockwise therefore the back of the boat should move to the port.

Wizzed through the goose V potato battle

Spud the point you're missing is the guys going on & on & more on about the anode is every one of them has got NR steering

Did battle with that Nolem chappy a while back & now he's echo'n what i told him

Prob with most of these guys is they fail to read what original poster has written & go off 1/2 cocked intheir own world

Yea, im not reading through all that shit, im just going on what was said on here about why the boat has the trim tab (engine tab not boat tabs)

I still beleive that under way the prop turque has more effect on the motor than the engine torque in trying to steer or tilt the boat..

but im sore and tired and cant think clearly so ill have to come back to it..

[Spudly]

Ok, another quick one FED...

In a counter setup, the engine still turn the same way, just the gearbox is reversed, so the props spin opposite, therefore the boat becomes balanced? Wouldnt this point to the prob having more to do with the trimming??

Do you recall pez telling me to trim my starboard motor down

To which i replied

Shut the F Up tis my boat & that's where she needs to be ???

Today different load on board different conditions it was a different trim on motors

Prob with alot of peeps is they just dont know how to drive a boat & they get up on threads & give advice to others

[Spudly]

Yea but one or both of your motors are cavitating half of the time they are underway!

Guuess your eyesight cant hear it form up the front?

Oh Jumpus!! They were trying to tell you but you wouldn't stop talking for long enough for them to get a word in...

Besides, anyone with years of expertise would know, digital instruments are only an indication... a good skipper would listen and feel how the boat was behaving..


Hey While on the topic of instruments.. Any idea's why my Navman 6500 is not giving a temperature reading, havnt been able to find anything in manual or online. Sits on 0.0dC..

Cause it's a toy people put on their 1/2 boats no ther possible reason
So navman dont bother installing sensor probe in the tranny

[Spudly]

Your probably right, only people with big green plate boats install probes into tranny's!?

I was thinking Rumpus and that's always dangerous.

Do you think the paddlewheel effect could be a shaft drive thing because I've got to say I've never really noticed it with an outboard but it was very pronounced in the old Gudma which was shaft drive. Because of the angle of the shaft & prop it would change the blade angle from top to bottom and all make sense then.
I don't believe the top to bottom difference in water pressure mate it would be SFA.
I used to rely on it heavily to park the old shaft drive Gudma at the wharf.

Getting back to the Mexican goose I think if he turned the trailing edge of their trim tab harder to starboard & got a decent prop his leaning would disappear.
Edit: Trimming out would help him too.
Another interesting point, Jumpy runs all his trim tabs straight but I guess that doesn't mean much because..... you know.

I think they got you Lady JAJAGEE, my tank looks exactly the same, only the sender is mounted on the back face of the tank, behind where the filler/pickup/breather are.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Did they ???

Keep watching the thread & watch the master unleashed

[Spudly]

im waiting! ;)

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Think they're hiding from me spud

Want a few more to to say what tanks were made off

prob with most of those guys is they dont observe, read or have capacity to think, just jump on lets get jg bandwagon

[Spudly]

what is your point though? You said that the setup was not factory and it appears that it is factory no??
