Marin, I understand everything you said. Still, twin 120s is overkill for a 34' 16000lb displacement hull boat unless you're hauling those big cedar logs between the islands, and of course, fighting those BC currents. Good luck with all that. And watch out for the ferries! Another thing I...

Thanys Larry M, Blue Heron, ksanders, and Marin. And to others, please keep the info coming. By the way, my single 120 Lehman has huge power for a boat my size. Cant imagine the power twins would provide!

I'm preparing to repitch my prop and am interested in what boats similar to mine are using. My boat is a 1983 Chien Hwa trawler, similar displacement to other Taiwan Tupperware ofthe same vintage, single Ford Lehman 120 hp with Velvet drive 2.1:1 reduction. I currently have a 23/16 LH Bronze...

rwidman, the right to operation instructions might be intellectual property, but that property goes hand in hand with the sale of the unit, and it's the right of any lawfull owner to have access to. It doesn't matter whether the price is $1.00 or $1000.00, charging for it again is unfair...

Does anyone have a link to an owners manual or service manual for a Benmar Course Setter 21R Autopilot? I cant find anything online and dont think it fair that Benmar wants $22.00 plus shipping plus 15% tax for operating instructions on something they sell. Also, I'm not even sure they would...

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a 1983 Chien Hwa 35 which needs the usual amount of refurbishing and upgrades.:banghead: Of course there were no manuals etc with the boat when I bought her so I will be here picking everybody's brains for information on everything from prop size to GPS...
