How To Mount Depth Finder Inside A Sailboat Hull: A sailboat with an auxiliary engine must be capable of show to mount depth finder inside a sailboat hulling the lights of both a sailboat and a power boat; the lights must be wired so that they can be changed from one display to the other.
Propeller: Inspect the prop minutely. If it is even slightly nicked or dented, send it to the shop for rework and balancing.
Prop shaft: Inspect the shaft, looking for bends or scoring. Check zincs and replace if necessary.
Struts: Physically shake the prop-shaft struts to make sure they are secure and tight to the hull.
Strut bearings: Shake the prop shaft in the strut bearings, seeking excess looseness. Slight clearance is OK; if you're in doubt, get an expert opinion.
Prop replacement: Mount prop hub on taper snugly; don't let it ride up on the key and get off center.
Shaft log: Be sure the shaft log is well bedded to the hull and secured to the boat's bottom. Tighten the fastenings; they may loosen as the bedding compresses.
Stuffing box: If the box dribbles, tighten the gland nuts slightly. Don't over-tighten.See Also Morse Sailboat Control:7. Maneuver for the pick up. In some cases, you can approach from the windward of the victim, and let the Boat drift down toward him, providing a lee. In most cases, however, it is best to approach from leeward in order to avoid having your Boat blow right over the victim. Just slight amounts of power will be needed to keep your Boat under control. A morse sailboat control should approach nearly on the wind so that it can luff up to stop the headway when the victim is reached. In any case, stop the Boat a short distance from the victim, and throw him a line, such as a ski tow rope, that floats. It is less hazardous than trying to maneuver your Boat right up to him.
