nb Tanya Louise – Oil Cooling Improvements

Posted on June 25, 2017 The Engineer

Since the engine & hydrostatic transmission were installed in the boat a few years back, the hydraulic oil cooler has been in the same fresh water circuit as the engine’s water cooling system, however this has been causing some heat issues with the engine & hydraulic system under a heavy

Boating: Drydock Time – New Running Gear & Rudder Modifications

Posted on July 9, 2016July 9, 2016 The Engineer

We’re now on the final leg of the jobs to be done on the boat! Above is the new prop & shaft, supplied to us by Crowther Marine over in Royton. To fit our current stern tube & gland, the shaft is the same diamter at 1-3/8″. Unfortunately no 4-blade

Boat Stuff: Bowman Oil Cooler

Posted on June 27, 2016 The Engineer

To solve some engine oil overheating problems on board nb Tanya Louise, we decided to replace the air-over-oil cooler, with an water-over-oil cooler, with separate cooling drawn straight from the canal, as the skin tanks are already overloaded with having to cope with not only cooling the engine coolant, but

nb Tanya Louise Radio Install Part 1

Posted on August 3, 2015August 3, 2015 The Engineer

I often find myself carrying by go bag up to the boat during trips, so I can do some radio. However at 16lbs it’s a pain on public transport. A fixed radio was required! Another Wouxun GK-UV950P was ordered, and the fact that the head unit is detachable from this

Marine Potable Water Management System

Posted on May 14, 2014 The Engineer

Having two separate water tanks on nb Tanya Louise, with individual pumps, meant that monitoring water levels in tanks & keeping them topped up without emptying & having to reprime pumps every time was a hassle. To this end I have designed & built this device, to monitor water usage
