Improve Fuel Effeciency

Today’s higher prices for diesel and gasoline make squeezing the most out of every drop of fuel more important than ever. Besides the money-saving factor, you’ll want to ensure that you have maximum range capability each time you fill up your tank. So what steps can you take to optimize the fuel efficiency of your boat and motor? Here are some useful tips:













1. Run Mean & Lean
Lighten the load whenever possible by taking along only essential gear and supplies. If you’re going on a one-day offshore trip, don’t pack enough gear and supplies onboard for a six-day cruise. By limiting the amount of rods and reels, tackle boxes, ice chests and the like, you’ll reduce the weight and drag of your vessel significantly. Not only will you burn less fuel, you should experience notable improvements in handling and performance as well.

2. Distribute Weight Evenly
In addition to reducing the weight of your craft by eliminating unnecessary equipment and excess “baggage,” distributing onboard gear evenly will also help you get more out of every gallon. If your boat is listing to one side or the bow is weighted down due to improper placement of onboard gear, your fuel efficiency will suffer. Instead, make certain that all onboard equipment and accessories are properly distributed and balanced. This will help ensure both a smoother ride and increased mileage.

3. Put Technology on Your Side
A quality onboard fuel computer will help you efficiently manage what you have in your tank by supplying accurate, real-time readings of how much fuel you are using at any given moment. This is a highly desirable alternative to the notoriously inaccurate fuel gauges that come standard on many boat models.

4. Tune Her Up
Regular engine maintenance and tune-ups will contribute greatly to your boat’s overall fuel efficiency. If your motor is not operating the way it should, chances are the system will be working overtime and consuming more fuel. Have a professional marine technician overhaul your engine at least once a year. Also make sure you are running your boat within the rpm range recommended by the manufacturer for optimum fuel efficiency. In addition to proper engine maintenance, check other components of your craft’s propulsion system, such as the propeller, for fuel-robbing defects. An improperly sized or bent prop can also contribute to fuel inefficiency.

5. Time For a Trim
Installing a quality trim-tab system on your boat will not only improve the ride of your boat, it will help you go farther on a tank of fuel. Trim tabs allow you to make necessary adjustments to the way your boat cuts through the water, planes and handles. By adjusting your trim according to boat speed/load and the current water conditions, you will help optimize performance and save fuel.

6. Don’t Carry Along Unwelcome Guests
The hulls of boats kept in the water often have many “cling-ons,” which resemble coral jungles. If you are carrying a small ecosystem of algae, barnacles or other marine growth on your hull, you will definitely experience fuel-consuming drag when under way. Regular inspections of your boat’s underside, along with the use of anti-fouling paint and anti-fouling cleaners, will help prevent unwelcome guests from hitching a ride.

7. Drain That Water
The water in your boat’s bait tank and live wells can add a surprising amount of weight to your vessel. Instead of heading home at the end of the day lugging along all this extra weight, empty your tanks of unnecessary water (and bait) before making that long run back to the docks. You’ll lighten your overall load significantly and get better mileage.

Magic in the Bottle

By Joseph S. Gulotti

I was an energetic eleven-year-old, and I could sing every Beatles song from memory. My favorite song was “Help!,” which I played over and over on my four-track tape player. That year Richard Nixon finally won the presidency after two failed efforts and inherited a raging Vietnam. Jimi Hendrix played a psychedelic version of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Woodstock Festival that summer, and rioting and discontent gripped many American cities.

Amidst all of this, I set sail with my Aunt Dora shortly after noon on June 15, 1969 on the T/N Raffaello, an Italia Line ocean liner of luxurious splendor. We put out to sea from Pier 82, one of the numerous piers that fingered out into the murky waters of the Hudson River on Manhattan’s West Side. It was a warm Sunday afternoon and a brilliant sun reflected off of the Empire State Building, which stood out among the countless, less characteristic skyscrapers that made up the skyline. At the furthest point west on 42nd Street, all the sounds of a great metropolis were carried on a humid breeze. As we lifted anchor, the noise of the city’s traffic was drowned out by the deep, drawn-out sound of the ship’s powerful foghorns.

After a few days at sea, I began to get homesick. The feeling quickly passed, however, as the next several days were filled with eating and swimming and running, playing with new friends and going to sleep way past my bedtime.

During one of those days, Aunt Dora had an idea. Somewhere north of Spain’s volcanic Canary Islands off of the northwest coast of Africa, she encouraged me to believe in magic and to dream the impossible. She told me that if I put a note in a bottle and threw it into the sea that surely someone would find it in some distant time, in some distant land. Captivated by that magical possibility, I got a thin sheet of the ship’s blue stationery from the cabin’s desk and began to write.

Below a line drawing of the ship and Raffaello written in cursive characters, I began my letter promising to anyone who found my letter a reward. I stuffed the tightly rolled up treasure into an empty wine bottle and sealed it tightly with a cork. That evening, after dinner, I tossed the bottle overboard. I watched it bob on the waves until it disappeared into the loneliness of the sea. As it faded from view, so did its memory.

Until . . .

One day in March of 1972, the postman delivered a letter addressed Joseph Gulotti, Esq. 92-11 52nd Avenue, Elmhurst, New York 11373, USA. I rarely received any letters, and that one wasn’t like any letter I had ever seen. There was no envelope; instead, it was a single thin sheet of letter paper that when carefully unsealed showed the contents of the correspondence on one side and the address written on the other. Just above the address was a yellow and brown stamp that pictured men building a boat out of wood. In the corner of the stamp was the likeness of the Queen of England. I was so excited. Beside the stamp, it read “par avion aerogramme”; and below that, printed to the character of a triangle, was the outline of the southern coast of Florida, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Within the triangle were several small dots labeled Turks and Caicos Islands, West Indies. I had no idea what to expect when I opened it.

To my disbelief and with complete astonishment, years after I had cast my wine bottle into the ocean I read the words “On 19 March 1972, I found a bottle on . . . .” It was so unexpected, so impossible, but it was true. Someone really did find my bottle in a distant time on a distant land.

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and burst into Aunt Dora’s apartment. Dozing in her chair quietly listening to Vivaldi on her Victrola, she was startled at my unexpected entrance.

I began to read her the letter. “I found your bottle on Great Sand Cay with your note in it. This particular Cay is uninhabited and the purpose for our visit there was just for an outing. You offered a reward,” it continued, “however, rather than sending me the reward I would appreciate it if you would send me a letter telling me when you dropped the bottle in the ocean. I hope you had a good trip.” It was signed, “Sincerely, William C. Bivin.”

As if protected by the Greek God of the sea Poseidon himself, my bottle was found unbroken and perfectly sealed on a sandy beach almost four thousand miles away from where I had dropped it into a devouring sea three years earlier.

To my relief, the traveler who discovered my bottle had relinquished me of my promise of a reward and instead rewarded me by taking the time to write to me and show me that miracles were possible, if you only wish hard enough.

On March 19, 1993, twenty-one years to the day when my bottle was discovered, I experienced another miracle. On that day my wife Cornelia and I were blessed with the birth of our only child, April. Years later, when she was no older than I was when I threw my bottle into the sea, she closed her eyes, made a wish and tossed her own bottled message off the deck of a boat while cruising the tranquil waters off the Ionian Sea. Perhaps Poseidon will once again deliver a child’s dreams of magic and wonder to a distant shore and into the hands of someone else on an outing.

Plug Into Fire Safety

By John Strong, Principal Surveyor
ACE Recreational Marine Insurance®

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SHORE POWER CONNECTIONS TO HELP REDUCE FIRE RISKS.

As pleasure boats have become more complex, onboard electrical safety has become more important. Although this may be something boaters don’t think about very often, here is a critical thought to consider: A major percentage of fires on pleasure boats are electrical in origin.

A likely place an electrical fire can start is at the boat’s inlet receptacle. The inlet receptacle is the fixture on the side of the boat, with the hinged cap, where you connect the shore power cable. Since it is often exposed to the elements, the inlet receptacle’s condition can deteriorate.

The receptacle can be damaged in a number of ways, including the simple action of plugging the cord into it. Over the years, the clips in the cord that contact the prongs in the receptacle wear out, which can result in a loose connection. If the cord end feels loose when you plug into the receptacle, it may be time to buy a new cord.

If the receptacle is in a location where it gets wet, corrosion often occurs, especially if the locking ring on the cord end is missing, or if it isn’t properly attached to the receptacle. If rain, salt water or washdown water gets into the connection, the metal parts will corrode and that corrosion will cause resistance, which results in heat that can melt the insulation and lead to a disastrous fire. That locking ring is important. If your cord doesn’t have one, get one and use it! If you can’t find a ring for your cord, get a new cord.

You can’t depend on circuit breakers to provide protection against this kind of damage. A corroded, loose, worn-out receptacle can generate enough heat to start a fire with very little current flowing. In one case, where a receptacle fire destroyed a nice 44-foot motor yacht, the cord and fixture were part of a standard 30-amp shore power connection, and only 12 amps were actually flowing at the time of the fire—less than half the rating of the breakers on the boat and on the dock!

How can a boater protect against this type of risk? The first, and most important, step is inspection. Every time you unplug and plug in your boat, take a good look at the inside of the receptacle, under the cap. The three prongs protrude from a plastic base, and in most newer boats, the base is white. If a prong has been overheating, the plastic around the base of the prong will discolor from the heat, turning light brown at first and darkening over time.

The second step in the process is replacement. If you ever see any sign of darkening around the base of one of the prongs, replace the damaged parts immediately! It’s not good enough to just clean the corrosion from the prongs. Corrosion is often the culprit, but it may be a worn-out cord end that’s causing a loose connection, or a loose connection at the back side of the receptacle, where the boat’s wiring connects. The electrical loads on boats tend to change as thermostatically-controlled devices, like water heaters, block heaters and electric space heaters, turn on and off. Overheating that begins due to corrosion, and then goes through countless cycles as components turn on and off, will cause metal parts to expand and contract, which can lead to loose connections. This means that a minor problem can lead to a major catastrophe if enough time and cycles pass.
