Automatic Transmission fluid from trim tab or steering hydraulics?

Enviromental Impact A swimming pool is a closed loop with limited discharge into the environment. A marine A/C is not, do you really want to discharge this back into the ocean?

Good Morning all, I have owned and cruised in the Carribean a Grand Banks 42 for years and fortunately sold it just before our most significant hurricane. I am looking to get back into the boating world and am looking for a true displacement hull vessel, with a smoother chine and less flotation...

Thanks and yes I have heard and used the Bahamian moor, but what I am not sure is why put two anchors off the bow? This just allows for the two rhodes to tangle or wind up with each other? Why not put the second anchor off the stern. This is why in a previous post I asked about putting real...

In my boating area, which is Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands the use of a both bow and stern anchors to anchor close to a beach or to keep the northerly ground swell on the bow is very common. What surprises me is the very few, if any, vessels that come with a serious stern anchor. I was...

I was wondering if anything exists that tracks maintenance and is used for providing information on predictive/preventative maintenance to boat systems. At work we have a software package where all equipment, parts, jobs performed, predictive and preventative maintenance task that should be...

Welllll, that is a great argument for the shaft spinning is the path of least resistance. All mechanical systems are going to follow the path of least resistance if the shape of the prop means the shaft will turn then that has just defined the path of least resistance.

Folks let's not forget the basic physics, if the path of least resistance was the shaft spinning then the shaft will spin, if the path of least resistance is the shaft not spinning then it will not spin. This has nothing to do with if you want to have the shaft spin, this is a totally...
