New and updated for 2019.
This is revision 6. Now in e-book format. Still a PDF but in a
format that fits on e-readers, tablets and your phone. It
includes the entire section of this web site on electrical
systems, including Basic Electricity, US Federal standards,
Wire Size and Over Current Protection calculations and
Planning the Electrical System. Includes 14 Steps To Wiring
Your Boat and new pages on Electric Shock Drowning and, Solar
and Wind power. It is in Adobe PDF format and is 152 pages if
you print it on standard size paper. Can be printed in Book
format (2 pages on each side of a double sided printing) if
you have a printer than can do double side printing. It is approximately 3.5 MB in size.
Capacity and Flotation
Capacity and Flotation Course in e-book format. This
was developed for Professional Boatbuilder Magazines e-courses
but they no longer offer them. This is Revision 2. As of 03/10/19 I have updated the
outboard weight tables and other information and added a
separate lesson on inflatables. This e-book is in PDF format that can be read on your
computer, tablet, phone or kindle. This course covers capacity
and flotation for all types of boats, inboards, outboards,
rowboats, pontoons, inflatable boats and canoes/kayaks. It
includes quizes for each lesson. Answer key provided.
179 Pages including cover and unnumbered pages. Can
be printed in Book format (2 pages on each side of a double
sided printing) if you have a printer than can do double side
printing. About 3.9 MB in size. Level Flotation Spreadsheet
Completely updated as of
3/17/19. Latest outboard weights table incorporates
changes to the USCG and ABYC flotation standards. For monohull outboard
powered boats greater than 2 HP (1.49kw), less than 20 feet (6
meters) in length. The perfect supplement to the Capacity and
Flotation Course Book. This spread sheet was developed to make it
easier for a boat builder to determine the amount of flotation
required for their boat. It is in Microsoft Office Excel
2013 © format (xlsx) but can be converted to other formats.
It is easy to use. You simply plug in the Maximum Capacities,
Horsepower, and weights of boat and materials. The data
entered can be in English Standard units or Metric units. This
makes it useful for Canadian or European manufacturers. The
spreadsheet calculates the amount of 2 lb (or 1000 kg) density
foam needed. By changing the value of buoyancy you can
calculate flotation for air chambers, other densities of foam,
air chambers,
or any other material used as flotation. The tables for
outboard motor weights are built in and the spreadsheet
automatically looks up the correct values for each horsepower
range for boats with one or twin engines. You can print the
final result so you have a record for each boat model. You do
not need to know anything about how spreadsheets work. All the
cells containing formulas or tables are locked so that cannot
be accidentally changed. The only cells available to the user
are for entering data on the boat.
Modified
Level Flotation Spreadsheet
Same as the one above but designed for monohull boats that are
manually propelled or have 2 HP (1.49kw) or less, such as
dinghies, rowboats, small john boats.
Can be used for wood, fiberglass, aluminum, or any other
materials. Good for traditional small craft, or new designs.
Just fill in the numbers and see the results.
Basic
Flotation Spreadsheet.
Same as the two above but
for monohull inboard or stern drive powered boats under 20
feet (6 meters) in length. It calculates the amount of
flotation required for these types of boats. I/Os, Inboards,
Jet Boats. Fiberglass, wood, aluminum, whatever. Tells you how
much flotation you need to keep this boat afloat.
Gasoline Fuel Systems, Engines and
Related Systems.
A compilation of the pages on my
website on gasoline fuel systems. Includes the Federal
Regulations for fuel systems for Inboard/Sterndrive boats and
other permanently installed gasoline engines, Marine Engines
101, painting aluminum tanks, Exhaust Systems, and
information on Ethanol (Alcohol) issues.
