Kick Ass 47 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 Quote 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.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,235 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Bluetooth is Quote 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 Now it will be 13 metres with the prod withdrawn, so no issues..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.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,586 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Are you sure he didn't just paint the old one black? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 72 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 What did you do with the old one (bulb) and how heavy was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floatsome 0 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Who designed the keel? Quote 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. Quote 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. Quote 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.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
