    Cummins 6 bta 5.9 330hp

    These numbers don’t make sense to me. The M3 is the 370 hp version. At 1900 RPM you should be consuming 11-12 gph and generating about 500 hp between the two engines. Seems like you should be driving a 25,000 lb boat a lot faster with that much grunt. For comparison, my single 330 drives my...

    Cummins 6 bta 5.9 330hp

    I have a single that burns 2 gph at 1200 RPM to go 7.5 knots in my 40 LOA Nordic Tug 37. I’m guessing a pair would be running no more than 800 or 1000 to go the same speed in a similarly sized boat. So I’d expect 3-4 gph tops. But I’d be worried about carbon buildup running them so low for...

    Secrets and Tips

    I’m going to use this to put a cable gland for my light bar through my deck into the anchor locker. Thanks!

    Can You Name This Place ?

    You are locking up heading west? So must be a river somewhere in the East? Am I on the right track? (Have time to kill waiting to fly home from our Bahamas charter).

    Storing Open Tubes of Adhesive Sealant

    I use a one inch wood screw as a stopper for my tube of 5200. Screws right out of the hardened sealant in the neck and allows the good stuff to flow from inside. Keeps for years.

    That’d be the Mount Marathon race in Seward, right?

    Bahamas with The Moorings

    Yes, Leopard 433PC, with a master suite in the starboard hull and two cabins with a shared head in the port.

    Bahamas with The Moorings

    Cost for the boat is about $2k per day with taxes, fees, and damage waiver. We spent about $1k provisioning at the grocery store. I expect we will pay around $1k to fill the tanks when we return it. Airfare from Seattle was ~$1k pp, maybe $500 a night for family hotel accommodations coming and...

    Bahamas with The Moorings

    Skipped out on forty degrees and rainy in the PNW for my first trip to the Bahamas and first bareboat on a Moorings power cat for my kids’ winter break week. Air temp is 82, water temp is 78, and the view to the bottom is so clear off the swim deck that it looks like we are hovering in space...

    "New" navigation app.

    This app was a viral TikTok sensation when the developer’s daughter posted a video of her dad being ignored at a boat show. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/business/tiktok-argo-navigation-boating-app.amp.html It seems to have a lot of basic features still under development, but one useful...

    RIP Vesper Cortex

    I really do like the Cortex and am generally happy with the purchase despite the Garmin takeover. The touch handset can be a little awkward for simple radio communications, and I’ve had problems with the until going offline while I am away from the boat that support has been responsive so far in...

    RIP Vesper Cortex

    To be clear, I’m not thrilled with Garmin taking over Vesper even if they plan to continue supporting and developing Cortex, which I have. Reminds me of when I installed a bunch of Nest thermostats and smoke detectors only to have them bought by Google. Not what I signed up for.
