Some 'Performance' Stats for new Parker 34-footer...
"hk" wrote in message ... Eisboch wrote: "hk" wrote in message . .. The following performance data was provided by Yamaha. Performance will vary depending on conditions and load. Minimum speed is too fast for tuna. Eisboch Uh...that's not minimum speed...that's the speed at 1000 rpm. :) The F350's have a trolling throttle controller, +/- 50 rpm increments (600 - 1000 rpm range) via the Command Link System. My F150 runs just fine at 600 rpm, and according to my gps, I can power the boat forward in still water at under one mph if I want. I assume most modern outboards can run real slow, except maybe some of the two stroke engines. I know. Just trying to be a wise ass. The Egg Harbor we had couldn't troll slow enough for tuna with both engines running and in gear. It didn't have trolling valves, so I often had to let one engine idle in neutral and use the other for the *magic* tuna trolling speed of about 3 kts. Eisboch |

Eisboch- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, but you got wafa to make up some more stories Still delusional, hey, Scotty? So what was the "server administrative problem," Scotty? Big secret?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yesterday, you insisted that you already knew.. Of course anyone who has ever turned on a computer knew with the limited info you had, that would be imossible. Same with Loogies problem... Both BTW were not any problem on the client side.. but it's way to complicated for a windoze hero like you so I won't bother. Here's a hint.. When I was running the hook for a body shop years ago my boss told me this.. "If you get a call for a car stalled on the rr tracks and you know there is a train coming, what's the first thing you do? Answer me that, and we'll talk. |
