Not entirely true in the real world. 10% of the boats length is the common number.....Although I ran a Broward that was extended 3 different...
It's a resister......Lauderdale speedometer sells them among many other people. They don't make 32 volt gauges and haven't for a while so you have...
From what I've read and seen in the pictures. All of the damage and breakage of the ship occured solely in Cargo hold 11. I don't know if this...
This and it's probably also hard for a Sailboat manufacturer to properly estimate the build cost and build a powerboat as efficiently in regards...
Yes, and yes the Navy did during the WWII era. It seems like the Navy wasn't too good of a shot back then. LOL
Here is what I have gathered from researching these ships: The MOL Comfort, together with its sister vessels, were the first containerships...
No, it actually broke almost midships, there is an entire section that crumbled and submerged into the water.....in between the stern and the...
Ok, so you reduce speed and alter course and then PRAY the ship doesn't break in half like the previous one. High Tensile steel is a double...
The last few years they were operated we had strain gauges mounted on deck and immersion gauges fitted under the waterline at several points and...
There are numerous articles on the Sapona breaking in 2 midships: The Sapona was run aground in 1926 and broken in two by the great storm of...
If you look at the video, it is the class of the freighters made with high tensile steel with thinner main decks and so forth for increased cargo...
There is but it is costly, Here is what you would need to do. 1. But a 50' or so 50amp/250volt shorepower cord. 2. Install a 250v 50amp boatside...
The Sapona ran aground and broke in half midships. Much like the sistership to the flexi-steel freighter featured in the video, broke in half...
The owner wants to be at the Munciple marina and has made reservations there, so that's where it's going. I agree the current can be ferocious there.
There is not one surviving concrete ship in use today. Look up the Sapona. It is a ferro-cement freighter that is sunk off of Bimini in shallow...
Exactly, each 125volt lead has a 50 amp breaker, yet everyone is using a 50' 125volt cord rated for 30amps, not 50amps.
If you bend metal enough times in the same place, it's going to break. I have a feeling those ships are going to eventually meet their...
50amps at 250 volts= 100 amps at 125 volts. Swapping the 2- 125V 50AMP inlets to 1 250v/50amp inlet and wiring it correctly and using 1...
Can't get out Sebastian, we need 20' of clearance and Sebastian is a very narrow harrowing inlet with lots of current to take a 52' Sedan Bridge...
If you can change the sparkplug, you can get the flexible rubber compression tester hose screwed into the spark plug hole which is easier than...
