Kick Ass 52 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice stuff but you lose 1/2 knot due to all the wire What's the little round Fusion cover covering? It will be a usb/aux port, something new fusion has come out with lately Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It will be a usb/aux port, something new fusion has come out with lately Yup! Spot on. SSB - AUX port so if you don't have bluetooth you can still connect.. Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,351 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bluetooth is Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bluetooth = power sucking. I have a plug next to my Fusion into which goes a USB stick. Hows the prod going to work for marina length, have you just gone up a size? We don't get into a 12 metre berth anyway, it's 14 metres or nothing. (Original OL = 12.2 metres). Now it will be 13 metres with the prod withdrawn, so no issues.. I can put a USB stick into that port if I want to, that's the idea.. Link to post Share on other sites

smithy09 50 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 What did you do with the old one (bulb) and how heavy was it? Melted the old bulb into the new one! Old bulb was 1650kg. New bulb is 1900kg. Poor man's way of getting a little extra righting moment. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Who designed the keel? The old fin is a Valium design by Ian Vickers. The new bulb is Kevin Dibley, as is the bowsprit. Link to post Share on other sites

smithy09 50 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 It's already got paint? .......... maybe it's just me working off a lower base due to my boat's glamour paint work {insert Tui advert here} The cockpit is a lot rougher than it looks in the photos. Prod is only undercoat.. Link to post Share on other sites
markm 32 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 So Smithy, how much faster will the Marshall be than say, to pick a boat at random, Provincial Cowboy? Inquiring minds want to know. Link to post Share on other sites
