Getting to grips with my new trawler yacht

[Alrob]

After parting with my beloved Bayliner 285 I finally got out the marina today with my 36ft Trawler Yacht for a decent blast !!!!!!!!!
a couple of things got me tickled

1 - twin engines on shafts - amazing manoeuvrability
2 - autohelm coupled to GPS - effortless cruising (after 15 yr old son programmed it)
3 - great comfort (as long as you ain't in a hurry)

so overall a good start

I have one question though about inboard/shaft - why does the cooling water exit the exhaust in spurts, cant figure that out

 

[sarabande]

the exhaust is watercooled (obviously ) and the box fills up with water until the gases force the 'blockage' out. It's especially noticeable at low revs, when the process is analagous to "batch processing". At higher revs , it's almost a "flow process".

I hope you both have lots of happy hours pottering together.

Yer now learning how a proper boat handles. It's like running on rails.

Just be carefull of the auto helm though. We went to Poole once, instead of Weymouth!!

No bover.

You'll have a lot of fun with her... nice boat. I had a similar (single screw) boat myself for a few years.

Aft cabin is nice and quiet with no chine lapping.


Enjoy your boat
