Have you got two boats then Spotty?

 

[SpottyDog5]

No, Im not as rich as you......
Its info for a pal, would you belive, he has asked the dealer for the info, all they say is they have them, but wont confirm the size.

All he wants to do is to anti foul and anode (for the least cost) his boat this weekend, but it seems somethings are just too difficult, without the hassle factor being introduced...

fiver for a pair of cheap calipers and measure it from the inside!

 

[SpottyDog5]

And a Snorkel ?

And a Snorkel ?

No, he means measure it inside the engine room, twixt stuffing boxes and gearboxes

 

[SpottyDog5]

So Im not a clever as you.....
The real problem, he is in London and the boats in Lymington.

I look after a prestige 36 with 63p engines in I had to ring the dealer on site at swanwick walton marine, they simply didnt have a clue about the type of sternglands even in the boat, struck me after asking other questiions they either didnt have a clue about there product or they were being no co operative as to get the work in themselves, not this one as its on the braods now, didnt inspire me with any confidence of the product or backup at all.

Shame as the boats not that bad just tightly built together with bits fitted in the wrong places, like the tanks!! they take some trimming down when on the plane even with those big motors in as all the weights in the stern.

Around 46mm or 1 3/4 inch from memory.

Paul might know. www.clementsmarine.co.uk

 

[volvopaul]

Yes ive dealt with them in the past when re engining many brooms, they do all there bits.

 

[SpottyDog5]

The size is 45mm.......
Volvopaul, you were spot on, with the dealer, what disappointed me with them, is when I wanted to trade in my P32 for the 38s, all they would offer, is what they could get it underwrittened for from a non Jeaneau dealer, a bloody insult.....

Yes about a ton more weight I believe. From what I know you cant have trim tabs fitted on the P36 for some reason that I cant find out. Do you know at all.

 

[volvopaul]

Yes I do, reason is the underwater shape section, the tunnels are massive look inside your lazarette next time, there isnt enough flat transom outwards of the tunnels the fit tabs from what I can see.

I think the builders should have placed the tanks further forward at the side of the engines, all thats there is a void.

Hi All, You can have tabs fitted to a 36, the profile of the transom below the waterline is awkward though and you are limited, we had Bennett tabs fitted and if you use the correct width (Known as the chord) they are straightforward to fit. Bennet know the correct fitment for the Prestige 36, but if you can wait a week I can let you know what size ours are.
Fitment of the pump and operating system is easy, there is ample space in the lazerette.
Because of the transom shape it is not possible to fit Volvo QL tabs.

The tabs make a major improvement to upwind travel into a head sea, eliminating slamming, we have been out in some big seas in comfort that we would not have attempted without the tabs.

Yes please, let me know more details if you can, as I am suffering from slamming when going upwind and it makes it so uncomfortable. Would love to get trim tabs fitted but as they were not on the extras list I assumed they were not possible to fit.

Always thought it strange they never fitted tabs on a planing boat
