Re: Mounting Steam Engine
Up here in Tahoe, any 2-stroke over 10hp is illegal in Lake Tahoe, and the surrounding lakes. That includes the obnoxious Jet Skis as well. The only reason they let the 10hp and under stay is because some members of the TRPA (Tahoe Regional Planning Agency) governing body have sailboats with 2-stro...

Re: Mounting Steam Engine
I've mounted the Otter's engines rigidly - this works well, and having a solid mount helps keep the engine from bouncing around too :). Otter's new engine mount is combined with the oil pan; traditional engines always ooze oil, and while it doesn't hurt a wooden boat, it makes a real mess. The steel...

Re: Help with Hydraulic Steering
While hydraulics are certainly a nice way to go, I've also seen some nice custom mechanical drives with a car steering gearbox and small universal joints w/ pillow blocks in the drive. In any case, reliable steering gear is pretty important.... my dad and brother once ended up bashing a sailboat up ...

Re: Hardened expansion links?
If you're going to machine steel into an asymmetric part, your best approach is to make it from annealed or hot-rolled material so that when stresses are relieved by removing material the part stays flat. Unless you have a lot of slop in the reversing lever, the amount of motion that the link will s...

Re: SPARK PROOF MATERIAL FOR TOP?
If the top is really canvas, rather than Dacron (synthetic canvas), you can treat it with borax and boric acid, but it will require additional treatment after it gets wet (not very practical for a boat). I have a SunBrella canopy which we made; it has a few holes melted from sparks but Sunbrella is ...

Re: Does size matter.
Swing checks work just fine from a pressure differential standpoint, but they're best if you don't try to run them too fast, or use a very small pump plunger. Ideally, a pump like this would have a large piston/plunger running at 100 rpm or less. For high speed use, lift checks with screws added to ...

Re: oil burners
I've tried it w/ a small one, but it's kind of weak and freezes up.... for a long time I used a small 10 lb cylinder; I now just grab a 20 lb one (I have several since my Burning Man art car uses propane for fire effects). I should just splurge and buy a small aluminum one, but those will develop le...
