Sailing into Unfamiliar Waters

-
Most boaters regularly cruise bodies of water that are local to where they live, but sometimes we strike out to discover new areas that are totally unfamiliar to us. Of course, there are many options for advanc e research and maybe we even get a chance to talk to someone who has done it. Still, there is that butterfly feeling you get in your stomach when you head off into the unknown. Will this end up being one of the best adventures of my life or will I end up on the rocks?

This is what The Ships Logg is currently doing. Unless you happened to notice the obscure icon on the front page, you may not have realized that there is now a channel for The Ships Logg on YouTube. There are even a few content videos there to watch! Yep, they are a bit rough; definitely not as polished as some of the YouTube experts out there but I am learning as I go. The plan is to once again provide useful and entertaining content related to the boating life.

So do me a favor. Sail on over to the new channel by clicking on the link here. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a comment or two to let me know how I am doing.

Happy Boating

Captain Frank

    The majority of individuals think that this is a good starting point. Used paddle boards are a great way to improve your surfing. The selection of the proper board is the only issue. Paddle board ocean

    On the waterways, several potential hazards could damage the machine, such as going aground on shoals, operating in extremely shallow water, striking rocks just below the surface, colliding with other boats or persons, or even getting into car accidents. North Tahoe boat rentals

Hydrolock - What is it and How to Prevent it. (Written by Captain Frank Taylor)

-

If you have ever experienced hydrolock on your boat engine, you may already know that it can turn a great day on the water into a really bad day in a hurry.   What is hydrolock?   To put it simply, it is when water gets into your engine cylinders.   While this can also happen to car and truck engines, it is more likely to happen with marine engines because of the environment that boats operate in and it is more likely to happen on boats that have exhaust systems that release exhaust under the water’s surface. First, let’s talk about how the typical 4 stroke gasoline engine works.   There are four steps (hence the term four stroke) that a cylinder goes through for each combustion cycle: 1.          First the intake valve opens and the piston moves down which sucks air and fuel into the cylinder. 2.        The intake valve closes and the cylinder moves up which compresses the air-fuel mixture. 3.        The spark plug fires, igniting the fuel-air mixture, thus pushing the

Boating Maintenance Items That are Commonly Ignored

-

Maintenance on you boat is important.   We all know that.   Sometimes, we don’t know all of the items that we need to take care of though.   Even a non-boater can tell you that you need to change the oil, but do they know about impellers or outdrives?   Here are some important maintenance items that are commonly ignored on boats, what they do and why you should pay attention to them. Impellers What they do:   They are responsible for drawing water into the engine’s cooling system to keep the engine operating within proper temperature range.   Depending on your boat’s propulsion system, they can be located in the outdrive, on the front of the engine or in a separate housing.   Maintenance:   They should be replaced every two years.   If you use your boat extensively, you may need to replace them every year.   Don’t forget that if your boat has a generator, it will have an impeller also. What happens if you ignore them:   Engine overheating due to lack of water flow.   Fins

Do It Yourself - Fixing a Shower Sump on Your Boat

-

Several months ago, I noticed the shower drain in my boat was not removing water as it should. Rather than water running down the drain, it just collected in the pan at the bottom of the shower. Recently, I decided to tackle the job and figure out what was going on. I knew I was going to spend the entire July 4 th weekend on the boat and I wanted to be able to take a shower without worrying about the water building up. If you are not familiar with the workings of a basic shower sump system on a boat, it is actually pretty simple. The drain at the bottom of the shower empties into a box down in the bilge. Since the box is most likely below water level, there is a pump in the box that pumps the water up, out and overboard. Often the pump has a float switch attached to it to cycle the pump on when the water gets to a certain level and off when the box it empty. A Basic Sump Pump Setup In my case, I had already checked the line from the shower drain to the b
