Selling my engine, Long Beach, California. Just removed from my 36" Island Gypsy. Repowering with a Cummins 6BTA (370 hp). I'm only repowering because the boat was underpowered, there is nothing wrong with the engine. It runs perfectly, asking $7,900 OBO. 1982 year 4,130 hours B&G Velvet...

The Hideaway TV Works! Its works ALMOST as good as I had hoped. It doesn't slide back as far as I'd like behind the cabinet but I think a little adjusting will make it a little better. Its definitely better than having it out on display all the time. Here is what my first prototype...

Shower Ceiling Here is a photo of what I did with the shower ceiling. As you can see the head room is much better!

Nice I like the hideaway TV idea. When I did the refit, I didn't really consider a place to put a TV. I'm currently working on a custom bracket (idea) that will hide it away behind the galley cupboard. Going to try the installation tonight (second prototype), if it actually works I'll post some...

Hull No. IG36-F53, they are all wood windows. Yeah the two stateroom layout is ok... its nice to have the room for guests but it sure makes for a very small forward stateroom. The box under the wheelhouse seat is actually a trash compactor, at the end of a long weekend I was tired of storing...

This Fall's Projects My boat didn't have a mast, it was built custom for delivery for the Great Lakes and need to be able to fit under bridges. I decided that she needed a mast so I decided to design one and have it built. Its capable of lifting 1,000lbs with an electric hoist. I was able to...

I wanted to start this thread to ask what other people have done with their boat. I have an Island Gypsy 36 Europa and as with any boat its never complete. Always working on it and making it better. This year I did several projects. I'll post photos in the next box down. If you have done any fun...

Photos from an email chain going around

Knuckle Stern In this photo, Tonina has a knuckle stern. This design is popular is commercial trawlers and long range, ocean going yachts for their amazing abilities in a following sea. Where a square transom will be pushed by a following sea, the wave will just roll under a stern with this...

Classic Fantail Seen in this picture, "Portola" has a classic fantail stern. Where the stern hangs over the water is called the counter. If you want to see more photos of Portola here is a link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55428883@N04/sets/72157642644018403/

Speed and RPM dilemma on 36 Island Gypsy - YouTube I put this vid on from a few weeks ago. The temp issue must have been a lose wire. I was going to change the sender unit so I was poking around to get a part number (didn't think anything of it). The next weekend the temp never went above...

Thanks I know, its just super frustrating. I know everything I have done to the boat are good things to have had done and I know my engine better than ever, it would have just been nice to have resolved this months ago. I may have already found a 22x16 3-blade for only $99 locally. I'll...

Yes, single engine and yes I did also try a 3-blade although it was a large 3 blade). I just talked to my prop guy and he is standing by his choice on the new prop size he gave me. (23x15-14; 4-blade) I told him to humor me and say he is wrong, what size would I need to get to 2,500 rpm if the...

Prop Excellent info, thanks. I do think it is still an over propping issue. The engine checked out perfectly. At the suggestion of Brian at American Diesel, I even had the injector pump removed and sent off for calibration (thinking it could be a fuel delivery issue or timing issue). Turns...

120 Yes, its 120hp. I think the over propped load that it is causing thje engine is causing the exhaust to run hot (don't have a pyrometer to confirm) but a loaded engine will have hotter exhaust (you won't see it in your gauges so much) but this may be where the steam is coming from.

The air filter is completely clean, I even ran it without just to be sure. I also have heard that a dirty filter will cause all of these symptoms. Thanks for the suggestion of vicprop.cm, I definitely give it a shot.

Eric, what kind of speed are you getting? Not that your hull will at all compare to my hull speed, just curious. I do think my prop guy was wrong and I intend on confronting him on the issue.

I haven't done that yet, I too think running a cleaner through the system couldn't hurt. I know the hoses and heat exchangers are all clean as they are all new but the block, water jacket and tank could probably use a good chemical scrubbing.

I have calibrated the tachs with a mechanical tach on the flywheel as well as using a photo-tachometer (just to be certain). Its really puzzling.

So the saga continues. I had my 4 blade (24x17) turned down and repitched to a (23x15-14). I was able to gain another 100 RPM only. My WOT RPM is now 2,000, better but still not there. Can't seem to figure it out. I had the injector pump removed and calibrated (at the suggestion or Brian at...

A Lindwall Yacht Galatea is of the elite Santa Barbara, CA built Defevers. Built by Sugar Lindwall, she is entirely monel fastened. (no rust, no corrosion; ever). We own her big sister, Tonina. Tonina, was the largest yacht that Lindwall Boatworks built and the largest yacht Art Defever...

Spoke with Bob at American Diesel So I just got off the phone with Brian at American Diesel (VERY helpful and very nice guy) and this is what he tells me: The 2715e Lehman (120hp) should turn at 2,500 RMP under load and 2,705 RMP with no load. He definitely thinks that it is NOT a prop...
