Produktinformationen zu „Fuelish Pleasure Boats (ePub)“
A layman's comprehensive guide to all things affecting fuel usage, the 18 chapters contain ideas, suggestions and projects designed to help any skipper maximize fuel dollars. Not so much a how-to book but rather a you-should-try-this message for the boat owner with average skills. Written by a marine mechanic/inventor with years of research in testing various hulls, the book even includes the plans of one unique invention that most often returns more in fuel savings than the cost of the book. Regardless of diesel or gas power, the semiplaning hull with over five tons displacement can be helped by the information within Fuelish Pleasure Boats.Features:~ Working with the wind~ Gas engine tuning and changes~ Diesel performance outline~ Real-life results of modifications~ How to reduce drag~ Over 60 photos, graphs, charts~ Free plans for most cost effective fix~ Includes directory of sources of parts~ Forms and check-lists for DIY testing
Autoren-Porträt von Larry Pratt
Larry Pratt started tinkering with marine fuel efficiency in the mid-1980's. Not being satisfied with static research and results, the vast majority of his engine and hydrodynamic testing was done on the water and underway. As the mobile marine mechanic with fuel-efficiency expertise, growing interest led to increasing data and more creative fixes.A large part of fuel-efficiency efforts require high-powered components. He was the first to bring racing ignition systems to the pleasure boat community. Recognizing that the flip side of performance is better fuel use, he systematically designed various improvement packages to fit the boat owner's budget. Detailed explanations are publicized in Fuelish Pleasure Boats.
Furthermore, his on-the-water tests resulted in experiencing numerous incidents of boats with "bad" attitudes. They didn't run in/on the water the way they were designed to. The fix for this was the invention of trim tab modifications, and custom-made lifting strakes installations. Also detailed in the book.
His latest endeavor is to share his findings and knowledge with the boating community. Too much help is needed in the marine neighborhood for any one person to have a measurable impact on reducing fuel consumption. While the makers of boats and boat engines use new technology on new boats, the existing, older, flotilla needs attention too. Good mechanics are hard to find, unless they are already on board, at the helm.
