No idea this is as close as I can get with the 30 zoom.What’s the news? All clear and it’s about to head to sea?
He's still putting out videos at anchor over here, lots of sail fine tuning and engine to prop final drive ratio is way off.Hadn't heard anything in a long time I figured it was already out on the ocean
There is a possibility, last video is about putting a diesel heater in the pilot house.I just thought about this thing last night
.....wondering if her killed himself with it yet![]()
I've been watching his videos. It's going about how I expected it to go. IDK why some people expected it to just work right out of the box. Even he expected to test and tune it.He's still putting out videos at anchor over here, lots of sail fine tuning and engine to prop final drive ratio is way off.
He's on the hunt for a transfer case to put between the hundersted and the mt545.

What's wrong with that? All I've seen is raving reviews on those things.There is a possibility, last video is about putting a diesel heater in the pilot house.![]()

I think it turned out really well for the number of variables and the amount of napkin math involved.
Nothing at all just figured he could end up on fire at some point, burning emoji seemed fitting 🤠What's wrong with that? All I've seen is raving reviews on those things.
If you read the reddit threads around launch time, it was going to immediately flip over and sink as soon as it touched the water.![]()
I don't think anyone is sleeping up there though if I remember right, unless things have changed, been a while since I have looked to see what is going onThere is a possibility, last video is about putting a diesel heater in the pilot house.![]()
He put one in the pilot house, and another one in the pilot house but ducted to the rear bunk.I don't think anyone is sleeping up there though if I remember right, unless things have changed, been a while since I have looked to see what is going on
ya, he is going to kill himselfHe put one in the pilot house, and another one in the pilot house but ducted to the rear bunk.
He's gonna put another one on the front bunk.
He mounted the pilot house one on its side, not sure that's a good idea?

I was thinking about putting one in my RV, just to save on propane and DC power when dry camping.I have one of the China ones going in a boat, I'll let you know if I die this summer. They are really popular and I figured worth the $150 for a boat I plan on selling in a year.
I put one in my enclosed trailer and it is by far the best heat source I have tried yet. I tried electric strips in the AC unit, small electric space heater, and propane space heater. At less than one gal per night of diesel on 34deg ish nights in a non insulated trailer it works great. The propance was also good heat but at way more fuel cost, and this is a built in option.I was thinking about putting one in my RV, just to save on propane and DC power when dry camping.
Yeah exactly, the energy density of the diesel makes it really attractive, also not having the huge power drain of the rV furnace would be a plus.I put one in my enclosed trailer and it is by far the best heat source I have tried yet.

I read that asI walked back out the end of the dock today to try and get a better pic and found he wasn't there anymore?
He posted on FB today he was machining rudder parts for someone else's boat, so maybe he moved over there for the day?
He actually made some nice looking parts.I read that as
Doug is got his big grinding wheel on the grinder
I don't think the motor is the goalThis thing is going to get the worst fuel efficiency![]()
But he is too damn smart to listen to anyone but the voices in his headUpdate, the NP200 was trash (rusted bearings) NP205 has entered the chat.
Not to toot horns but several of us called all this fucking around. The MT 545 doesn't have low enough gears in 1st to get the right engine RPM range. The converter in a MT545 is sloppy all it did was heat the fuck out of the oil. Now that he finally got a converter eliminator engine RPMS are too low.
I actually think this will help.
thinking half of the journey for him is the tinkering doing it his own wayBut he is too damn smart to listen to anyone but the voices in his head
He didn't pop it open before installing it?Update, the NP200 was trash (rusted bearings) NP205 has entered the chat.
FTFYhalf of the views are people watching to see him run into another problem that they predicted when he was building that part (which is probably one reason why he did it that way)
He did, after verifying it would technically fit they pulled it apart to change a output flange.He didn't pop it open before installing it?
FTFY
