    Best Outboard to suit R930

    in TechTalk

    Posted

    Thanks everyone. IT and Knot me, my concern lies with long runs where the batt is in good condition...almost fully charged and I don't want to have to physically stop and disconnect to prevent overvoltage. I would like to leave connected no matter what...but system voltage shoul never exceed 14.4v (AGM max).Why can't you use a mosfet type controller to regulate?

    Knot me-how did you tweak rectifier regulator supply? I ask cause having put a meter on mine the voltage can be quite high and with an AGM batt I really think  it needs to be better regulated so as not to damage batt on long runs. Thoughts?

    Thanks everyone....Ballystick is in the know...well is tight now especially with remotes coming in to engine on port side of motor. Getting pretty tired of burning (and carrying) so much gas. Good to see general consensus on 9.9F-stroke if or 8 if possible. Thanks for the input.

    Hey Team,

    What is the best outboard for power, weight and fuel economy for a 930? Motor is currently tohatsu 9.8 two stroke. Outboard is mounted vertical in special well on a carriage lifted by rope purchase. Knot me ...what say you? Anyone using a yammie 9.9 hi thrust? Or a 15F stroke?

    Knot Me as a fellow 'Knot really a 930 owner ( Ballistic)  I read many of your comments with amusement.  Regional Councils do exist south of the Bombay hills and they are bound by statute to adminster the Harbours Act, MoT, RMA etc . The relevant bylaws as Grant points out are readily available via the interweb thingy, a casual call to the relevant regional council or in most cases a call to the local boat or yacht club. ...oh and by the way there is a current almanac on the boat....although much of the relevant  and most relevant info is easily accessible now via the interweb through the ministry website, LINZ or Coastguard

    Solo sailor drowns in Tauranga

    The poor guy in Tauranga.

     

    I did the Wine race across the strait on Friday solo and despite the great forecast I was clipped in the whole time...far to easy to make a mistake on your own tight/ beam reaching heeled over and lurch straight out over the leeward lifeline. 

     

    Really interesting feeling being clipped in up front doing sail change etc, as it is so reassuring. Doesn't change your approach to tasks though just a another level of security.
