Sealine F44.

Hoping to help bring one back home soon.
One fuel tank full the other virtually empty.
Are tanks totally independant or is a balance or transfer pipe in there somewhere complete with isolation valve ?

On the F37 you can select which tank is used for each engine using a panel which has nice clear diagrams. I would imagine the F44 has something similar.

16 too slow. She’ll be dragging her arse. 18 minimum and you’ll need tabs down. 20 better.

Big boat for 63Ps though, what’s the speed at WOT? Maybe only 23-25kts.

28 I reckon.

Ref the fuel..seems you can’t have port tank / port engine and stbd tank / stbd engine which is what I’d prefer. Otherwise set it as “NORMAL”in Elessar’s diagram, and fill both tanks.

Sounds ambitious unless maybe it’s the 370Hp variant?

I didn’t know there was anything else.

Normal is port tank port engine and starboard tank starboard engine.

Back in the day, “High 20’s” should have been possible.
A cruising speed of 20kts or so might be sensible now.

I think TAMD 74L/EDC 480 was also an option at some point.

Never known sealine fit anying other than 370. They fitted 306 hp 61s in earlier boats.

Those engines did well over 30 in my much heavier T46.

Ah yes I was thinking of Evenstar. 61s not 63s.

63L was 318hp, 63P was 370hp.
