Hi guys, great videos, direct to the point and informative. I also just picked a MF 895, (NC895) here in Canada with the same engines, but not hitting the same numbers. The boat came with aluminum props and are a little banged up. What props are you running to achieve these numbers? Thanks

This technique is for inboard engines (shaft drive) not for sterndrives/outboards.. you should use helm and then one engine at a time - gives most efficiency. Such technique works in light winds, but would need much of throttle in higher winds. The engines are too close to one another to have the leverage. Can work on lighter boats or with less beam. But in calm weather - it works and it is fun. But should not be your only skill.

@garryrobson3 ай бұрын
@@PowerboatingAdventures I’ve written to ZipWake (and their UK distributor) asking how their system is intended to work with outboard/outdrive trim, but no reply 🙁 Once you’re on the plane (on decent water), the idea of ‘leg’ trim is to lift the bow a little and, pretty much, be riding on the rear 1/2-1/3 of the hull with the propeller horizontal. The engine note gets smoother and the speed increases with no additional throttle (or maintain same speed using less fuel 👍). But, from what I’ve read and seen on KZbin, it would seem that if you then switched the ZipWakes to auto, they would try to ‘correct’ the pitch and bring the bow down. This, in turn, would mean the prop would be tilted upwards 🤦♂️ 🤔🤔🤔 PS We’re in Poole Harbour, our boat is berthed at Cobb’s Quay Marina.
@PowerboatingAdventures3 ай бұрын
@garryrobson yes I agrée Garry (the sweet spot!!) and potentially begin to work against each other!! And I guess every boat would be slightly different re weight and weight distribution etc so some fine tuning as always! The cabling system to join peripherals was often referred to as NMEA 2000 cabling which was what all our peripherals were connected back to the Garmin with - I think that’s what you were referring to Garry - connection method? If I’ve got that right then a NMEA 2000 on Garmin or Google might help?

I had the 8410xsv installed on our boat which worked great. The only thing I really didn't like was the auto routing feature, not that it didn't work OK, more that you couldn't set up routes from home. We wanted to do all our planning and then select the route when on the boat but the unit via its GPS kept locating us inland and that no route was possible. It was annoying because we had purchased a slave power lead to use at home. Overall I found the 8410 complicated to use so with the arrival of a new boat I am not sure I would install again.

Nice video but sorry I have to disagree about your manoeuvring methods. Why would you not use the wheel (when manoeuvring) when you get so much steerage from it? The method you have used is very much a shaft drive technique, utilising prop walk and wash. As you don't have rudders you won't get any wash effect and as the prop moves on the engine prop walk is negligible on an outboard.

Hi Guys, great video and very informative. I came across your videos as I am trying to get a good understanding of the running costs of a Merry Fisher 895. Therefore the fuel consumption vs speed information is a huge help. However, I do have a question I hope you can help me with. The marina that is local to me only supplies diesel fuel. Does your Marina/mooring site supply petrol fuel? If not what do you do to fuel your boat, given the large fuel capacity? ( Maybe I have to find an alternative Marina/storage location that supplies Petrol?)
@PowerboatingAdventures Жыл бұрын
Hi RideDirt and thanks for that and for watching :) Yea our marina supplies petrol and diesel albeit it is more expensive than the road pump price by 20-30p p litre :( Some in the marina brought it in cans (25litre)to avoid the extra cost but they were generally smaller tanks. There were other petrol suppliers around us too at Milford Haven so we had a small choice. It is an issue - when we looked at travelling down to Devon there was no fuel in the North Coast so sounds like you might have to go hunting for the nearest or choose a marina that supplies which will probably be further away 🙁 A conundrum!!!

Thanks for watching Daniel and thanks for your feedback. Yes it depends on the engine - our 200 Honda used the fresh water ‘muffs’ which fitted to the base water inlets so the engine had to run to suck/pump the fresh water around the cooling system, via the impeller, to purge the seawater pushing it UP through the engine. The Honda had to be tilted up to allow the muffs to be put on and to prevent more sea water being sucked in when you fired it up to purge. The Yam 200’s were gravity fed. The fresh connection was at the top where they had developed a simple hose type connection that you saw me using in the film of the Yams - so hose water pressure pushed it through and it exited at the bottom of the gear leg - simple gravity - the opposite of the Honda with its bottom flush point. The Yam was tilted up to then keep it out of the sea water which would attract wildlife/barnacles etc if left in the water when away from boat the same for the Honda. I hope that makes sense!! 😁

I’ll be looking for one to review that’s for sure :))
