Once disconnected as outlined above, a single davit can be used to lift the motor. The motor can then be swung right up to the rail or up to the walk through transom. Consider using our MS1 motor sling!

After sailing several years with a cantankerous old Atomic 4 gasoline inboard motor which I rarely used, I decided to remove it entirely and sail engine-free. I made this choice for many reasons, including feeling that I was ready to tackle this sport on another level. Sailing alone and engineless seemed the best way to discover whatever it was that I was looking for. See similar questions...

Twelves are generally racing boats and if you try to attach a motor to a modern 12 there is a good chance it will sink or capsize with the weight, or maybe the transom will fall off . . . so best avoided. See similar questions...

This depends on your loaded boats displacement, how far you intend to motor, and the conditions that may be encountered. Serendipity came with a 3.9 hp Volvo Penta (yes they made outboards) with a 2 blade prop. This would push her 4.3 mph in flat conditions. However with 3 foot steep waves and a 20 knot wind on the nose we stood perfectly still at full throttle. We've since mounted a 5 hp Mariner with a 3 blade prop. See similar questions...

You will not need a smog check in Oklahoma prior to registering your vehicle. At the present, there are no emissions control requirements for motor vehicles. The best advice for custom car and kit car builders is to keep track of your paperwork! You will need to be able to show the OTC where the car components originated and register sing the body vehicle identification number (VIN). See similar questions...

By rail mounting, we have a system that requires minimum custom work to install. With so many yachts on the water, there is far more commonality in the rails than in the yacht designs. Therefore, it is possible to offer a rail mount davit at a much more competitive price and a system that is much easier to install. See similar questions...

If your outboard motor decals have faded you will need to fill out the Watercraft/Outboard Motor Registration Application - ( Adobe PDF file - file size 57Kb) and enclose the appropriate fee. See similar questions...

Our motor sling is made from heavy-duty webbing rated at 1400 lbs. All fittings and fasteners are made from stainless steel - no plastic to fatigue from ultraviolet radiation. The sling itself wraps around the motor twice before terminating on buckles at the after end of the motor. Even the new design four-stroke outboards cannot slip out of this sling since it continues to get tighter as the motor tries to slide. We think so highly of it that it comes with our unconditional lifetime warranty. See similar questions...

We recommend that you install a hydrofoil on the outboard motor in order to improve speed and boat handling. A Hydrofoil will help put the boat on plane much faster and will help maintain the planning effect at lower speed. See picture below, on a left without a hydrofoil, on a right with a hydrofoil installed. See similar questions...

No. The reed valves used in regular piston-engines operate in an entirely different environment. They are never exposed to the heat of combustion and spend their time being fanned by a cool breeze and sprayed with cold fuel droplets as they sit in the intake or crankcase of the engine. By comparison, the reed valves in a pulsejet must operate under extremely harsh conditions and intense heat. See similar questions...

Generally, stand-alone digital multi-track recorder cannot be connected to outboard processor for send/return effects. However, MRS-1266 can be connected to outboard because it has stereo sub-output that can be assigned any tracks. You can send audio signal from hear and return to any track, so you can use outboard effects processor for send/return purpose. When I turn power on to start the MRS-1266, the indication "Sys File Error" appears and the unit freezes. See similar questions...

You will need to fill out the Watercraft/Outboard Motor Titling & Registration Application - ( Adobe PDF file - file size 57Kb) and enclose the appropriate fee. If you have a lien on the title, you must have a signed notarized lien satisfaction form ( Adobe PDF file - file size 140Kb) completed by the lien holder. See similar questions...

Short shaft 15" outboard motors are recommended to be installed on the 15" transom of Saturn inflatable boats. The lighter the outboard motor - the better. Either 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines may be installed on a boat transom, however 2-stroke engines are generally much lighter then 4-stroke outboard motors. Long shaft 20" motors are not recommended, but may also be installed if a short shaft o/b is unavailable. However a long shaft o/b may create extra underwater drag. See similar questions...

It all depends on everything. A good rule of thumb is that a motor can lift the weight of the battery that drives it; or that a motor can lift its own weight. Remember that motors can either spin slow and be strong (near stall), or can spin fast and be weak (at no load). You can't have both. Motors will spin faster and be stronger the higher the battery voltage. A good test of whether you are driving a motor too hard is to feel it. If it is hot, turn down the voltage or reduce the load.

All watercraft are required to be registered and titled: except Documented Vessels, Wind surfers, Watercraft propelled only by human power with oars, paddles or similar devices. All outboard motors under five (5) horsepower are not required to be titled. Or you can bring the information and fees to the Charleston or Columbia Office and pay at the window. You can also pay the casual excise tax at five locations of the Department of Revenue. See similar questions...

YES. Several popular tuck-under brands work with the demountable system. The lift gate is attached top the truck chassis only. Therefore you only need one lift gate per vehicle, not one per body. Lift gates come equipped with hand held remote controls as standard equipment. Call for details about sizes and capacities. See similar questions...

explosion proof motor should be used any time the blower is operated in an explosive environment. There are different grades of explosion proof motors based upon the type of environment. Be sure to specify the type of environment that the blower will operate within when ordering an explosion proof motor. See similar questions...

Helicopters can be powered with electric motors (not recommended for the beginner as they are fairly fragile), 2-stroke glow fuel engines running a combination of methanol, nitro-methane, and synthetic oil (model airplane fuel), 2-stroke gas engines (similar to your weed eater), 4-stroke engines, and even diesel engines. Most people use a 2-stroke glow fuel engine that is designed for use in model helicopters which usually has a different carburetor and a larger area heat-sink cooling head. See similar questions...
