Turbine rigging

[tango]

Can't wait too as 1 might say; deprecate, what you have tried to communicate to us,

1. GEAR IS = TRANSMISSIONS - DRIVEs AND related RATIO'S ETC.

2. CRANKSHAFT IS INTERNAL IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

3. TRANSOM IS THE "STERN" OR REAR MOUNTING POINT 4-GEAR AND ENGINES AND DRIVES

4. ? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A 90* gear box ?

5. thank you for the conversation !

6. U + I -- R , talkin the same geometry, between us, no doubt, let's think about gear ratio's, hull efficiency and their related machinery and thus ; propulsion units !

[tango]

PS: why use a surface drive " 101 " - -- VS. a conventional stern drive can we/you/or, discuss the pro's + con's ? I luv'em! - -

Rik, do-u- not want 2 "tango" come now it's all in fun and 2 create a "think-ing thing" dude ! u in or out ? U do a fab. job ! Like I said can U promote/discuss the Pros & Cons of a surface drive vs: a stern drive ? don't B bashfull. OR just say GFYS

I am not certain as to what you are wanting here. I don't need a pulpit and have nothing to prove.

Being that you know me, who are you?

[tango]

I am frozen water/& mean no harm/no pulpit pushing/just thought you were sort of a doctor of the surface drive realm/are u-knot ? Best thing out there ! IMHO - - :chillpill:

Ok boys lets get it back on track.

Temperture shot to a schorching 45degrees Yipee!!!!
One in one to go.

[KnotRight]

I,m shooting for the other before the big storms come rolling in.

Thanks, for the up beat, looks like that Vac. did something super for the attitude adjustment LOL ! don't tell me, yep your right I do need 1 that is Vac. & adj. Last 1 was up to Alaska, before that the last full wk. off was in "97" Lookin good my fine lad. anything cook' in on RT.1 ? ? ? and gutta luv. the backhoe style chain fall NICE. :gnorsi: - clean bilge.

Pic with the cars really put in to reality how big those pipes really are for someone that doesn't see them all the time

[old377guy]

ok, is it just me or what exactly is tango saying? I'm not quite able to follow all of the abbreviations and arcane lingo. Help.

[tango]

I write upside down and back-words LOL, just gooffin with a few/ask a question will try 2-help God knows I need it :angelsad2::Angel_anim:

MM dude they are huge the lower section of the exhaust, just before the turbine engine's exhaust exit point has a drain provision. That way water or rain water can not enter the last combustion chamber of the turbine engine thus flooding or puddling in the engine it-self. kool stuff or HOT @ times ! Notice the thermal blanket wrap around the pipes ? if it gets moist it will steam off for a while during start up. ps hows the mortgage market doin ?

[tango]

take a close look @ the 2nd exhaust system in photo #1 post #126 "the 2nd 1 back to the left" can you see the little catch tray ? that catches any excess water and drains into the bilge. on the front exhaust set up it is located @ approx 8 o'clock, but in the boat it faces down in the 6 - o'clock position once rigged and installed.

So it's not me that has had a hard time deciphering the garble.

Then all of a sudden he quits trying to be cute and types like he knows how. WTF is his problem?

[tango]

Hey Rik, just got off the PH with Casale Eng. great bunch, the garble is there to B deciphered, thanks, and will try to stay on track.

KR, you paint the bilge soft grey ? tell me what are the little tanks with the rubber tube and breathers for ? I see one mounted to the right, below the starboard engine and one to the left along the stringer on the port side.

On Shut down the T53,s have a self purge of the nozzles
combined with a combuster drain.
Prevents clogging nozzles over exstended layups.

It is a -4 drain.

I picked up some Valvecover Puke tanks on EBAY
Slightly modified them to fit.

It was challanging to get them slightly lower then the combuster housing and still be able to get at them for periodic
drainage.

great thread, now I seem to be able to get the drift tango, rik and knot. very interesting machinery and rigging. - jeff

18 inches in diamiter. I dropped a bungee cord down the pipe
I can actually fit in it

[tango]

KR, do you have 2-in or are those older photos ? Looks like your area may be hit with 10+ inches of the white cold fluffy powdery stuff between 2-night and into early monday AM. Get her tight to the weather, sure you do ! By the way, in general how often do you need to drain the purge tanks from the combuster chambers ?
