Snapping Shrimp By: Marinetrader | - As a boater we encounter many distinctive and sometimes strange conditions; and many times they are not what we believe they are. We had these dock mates a couple years ago that were complaining to me about the galvanic decomposition on their boat's submerged zincs while staying at a local marina. "It was so severe, you could in fact hear the decomposition occurring; we will never visit that marina again." I just smiled and nodded my head.
Selecting And Installing A Wind Generator Aboard Your Yacht By: Marinetrader | - For a while I have been investigating ways to produce energy without the support of my boat's genset. It doesn't take very long to make use of 100 hours of generator time, enough for another oil change. First I installed a solar panel, and after that was an inverter, and now, the newest is a wind turbine.
Wind has been used for creating energy for hundreds of years; initially in Persia (present-day Iran) as early as 200 B.C. Yet, the first known functional windmills were made by ... Tags:wind generator, installing wind generator

Led Lights For Marine Use By: Marinetrader | - I was keeping track of our power usage aboard our yacht as we anchored out recently and was surprised to learn just how much power a typical incandescent bulb utilizes.

The inefficient incandescent, which loses nearly all of its energy as heat, has fallen in disfavor. Early in 2012, U.S. residents won't be able to ... Tags:LED lights, energy efficiency, light bulb
Installing A Solar Panel Aboard Your Boat By: Marinetrader | - After a recent 5-day cruise aboard our trawler where we had to constantly start up the genset to provide electrical power to the 115 volt ac freezer to sustain temperatures, I started to think about alternate options.

I put in an inverter shortly afterwards and that enhanced the run time for the generator significantly, but there was still work to be done. I still needed to keep the batteries ...

Vessels Of Freedom By: Marinetrader | - As a boater it every so often becomes difficult to describe to non-boaters what the love affair is all about. Maybe it's a disease; at least it's a bug. A few of us use our yachts as a residence, treating her like a member of the family; others make use of them to earn an income on the ocean. I do have a habit of speaking to our trawler, the Patricia Ann; she talks back but in ways only I can understand. She has become a sanctuary of sorts, a protected harbor. So what are the reasons to go ... Tags:recreational boating, boating, trawler

Getting Your Partner To Like Boating By: Marinetrader | - Mary and I repeatedly come across couples where one is an experienced cruiser and the other is an amateur.
