I would agree with the higher reduction gear and a trawler swinging a big prop.. however, limited to an 18" prop (and that's what I'm limited to) the math works out 18x13 with 2:1 reduction (thats for an efficent prop), you could go to an 18 x 17 with a 2:5 reduction, but that would be difficul...

It's looking really good and all of us TW28 builders in the wings very much appreciate all of the information you have to graciously been posting. It's a reall help. The diesel sounds great and I like the idea of the 21" prop. I missed that during the buld some how. I managed to get an 18"...

Proprietary blend of polymers = long chain polymer "Comon guys"..and here is homework assignment, read up on crevis corrosion and ss, monel too. For the gentleman that can't tell the difference between 304 and 316.. You need help. And you imply to the people that dont know that there isn't...

Long chain polymers like polyproplyne break down over time and become fragil. It has to do with the complexity of the molecule, your not going to read on the marelon website. Sort chain poylmers like polyethylene are less likely to break down.. is marelon a long or a short chain polymer? I personly ...
