Thank you for your best wishes! It is so optimistic for me to see where these good wishes come from. This forum and Jacque's projects joined us from all the troublesome worlds. We have more in common than the politicians (and the media) try to convince us.
Keep building
Dario

Re: TW28 for Adriatic Sea
Next two months I lived aboard and finished some electricity, and engine service and had a frustrating time with steering hydraulic air bleeding. After a month of headbanging, we discovered that the manual was deficient and the task was afterwards done in less than an hour. Couldn't be done without ...

Re: TW28 for Adriatic Sea
It's about time to finish this build. I've hoped to splash the boat in June but some health issues prevented it. I worked hard all summer and we were ready to move to the seaside in September. The first problem was the too-low roof for a mobile crane to access: 10119 ...so we have to build an additi...

Re: TW28 for Adriatic Sea
Thank you for your advice, Tom, the prices a few years ago were 350 eur (it's almost the same as $), I hope I'm getting it now for around 700. The prices include around 22% of taxes, in US the system is different, the taxes are lower, but the merchant margin could be way higher. Wish you a pleasant ...

Re: TW28 for Adriatic Sea
Thanks for the excellent advice, yes, I've also doubted the suggested pitch. I'm expecting cruising speed around 5kn and enough thrust for sudden gusts of bora, the strong wind falling from mountains toward the Adriatic sea. Peter, I have just one question more... do you reach max rpm? (in my case 2...

Re: TW28 propeller
Enough, therefore I went for 19". There's 60mm down to the foot of the rudder (skeg??) and even more up to the hull.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:48 am How much clearance 19" prop? There are clearance guidelines as well iirc.

That sounds clever, thnxglossieblack wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 6:48 am go with the largest practical diameter, and a somewhat conservative pitch. Use it for a season, gather data, and then re-pitch if required.

Re: TW28 for Adriatic Sea
I'm posting the question also here: Finally, I'm going to buy a propeller now for the TW28. But... there's no exact answer and I'm a little bit confused. I have a Beta Marine 43hp (Kubota) 2800rpm engine with TMC60 (2.54) and a Python Drive in front of the 35mm axle. Now, Jacques proposed a long tim...
