Weird Transom Spray
We interrupt the political programming to bring you a boat question.
My 14' Lund aluminum yacht has been exhibiting some odd behavior at the transom, and the last foot of the sides. Lots of spray. I've seen transom spray when the motor's been dragging a large clump of weeds, and spray from the sides when the boat's obviously (but rarely) overloaded. Now, I'm seeing a combination of both. Absolutely NOTHING about the boat has been changed, at least not by me. No accessories added or moved, and the motor hasn't banged against any obstructions, and its angle has not been adjusted in years. There is no bilge, so I'm positive it's not a matter of collected water. The boat's bottom has two strakes, about 8" out from the keel. The keel & strakes are in perfect condition - no dents, all rivets are tight and there's no debris snagged between the hull and the metal strips. There's an aluminum spray strip along each side, also in perfect condition. The problem seems the same whether the gas tank is full or near empty, which I mention in case anyone's still wondering about weight issues. If the hull had somehow become misshapen, perhaps by the trailer bunks, it seems it would be obvious, but perhaps not. How small a change to hull shape cause this type of thing? |

Especially in a light boat I found the weight affects the distance the prop is in the water and changes spray.... This doesnt seem to be the case with your boat... Another source for spray can be damage in the edge of the transom where it exits the water. Thats about as much as I can think of ... hope it helps. Matt |

Another potential problem maybe the "skegs" - there should be two running the length of the hull port and starboard (I can't think of any other word than skeg for these runner type thingies). I had that happen on a 16 foot Lund years ago. Perhaps you have changed a little? :) I've finally gained weight after 30 years, but that puts me at 168 instead of 162, which ain't bad for 6'2". I don't think it's an issue in a boat rated for 600 lbs worth of people & cargo. :-) By the way, check the "Speaking of Crustaceans" thread again - I shot you a message about another book you might like. |

As soon as you eliminate global warming and subspace interferance as the cause
I would get a straight edge and look for a warp in the hull where the bunks ride. I am not sure what you would do about it tho. |
I've heard of this odd behavior at the transom. I read in a manual something
about changing your prop wash. Don't use any generic brands, get the kind that has smoothing agents in it. Change frequently to you notice the Behavior correcting itself. let us know how it works out. -- Regards, Ron "Greg" wrote in message ...

YUP,
Hey I use the synthetic coated ones, I hate hearing the old style marbles rattling as fuel sloshes in tank. I hear other's like the rattle, they cover up those annoying grinding engine noises when idling. Regards, Ron "Doug Kanter" ... Yeah. That gets mixed into the gasoline, right?

Well, there's always room for valid environmental concerns, when backed by real science. The insidious thing about dhmo is the addictive nature of it. Once humans become accustomed to a certain maintained level of ingestion, withdrawal is almost always fatal. This is truly an issue worthy of address, and to date no one is seeking action, from either side of the aisle. |

A new warp core should fix this, they can be ordered from www.warpcores-r-us.com. Also these cores should be replaced before antimatter can leak out.... These cores are touchy and most people arent careful enough which can lead to core failure... ;) Matt |

Just keep running it as is and don't worry. After a time, you will become
accustomed to the spray, spray will become normal and problem of "weird transom spray" is solved. Evolution at it's finest :) "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ...
