Hi Captain Perry, good to hear from you I don't have accurate figures. I use about 100lt hr which = about 26.4 galls hr - but this is usually at 1500 rpm. I am now going for original performance ( if possible ??)as I now have the power. What size / type of props are you using...? Are you able to cruise at the figures I gave with the same WOT --.e. 19 / 22 knots ?? Look forward to hear from you, Cheers Ross

If it is around 32 GPH I believe that is correct.

Hi, In the 38C performance spec I have down loaded, it states Cruise --19 knots. Max Speed 22 knots. This I assume is with the almost standard J & T 6/71NAs in the 38Cs I cannot get near these figures. It is quietly driving me nuts. The only thing I do well is gulp diesel fuel and never get far from base....but refueling is easy near a major port -- Jakarta Back to the Spec -- for Cruise 19 knots I anticipate this is @ 1800rpm. WOT 22 kn I guess also is @ 2300 rpm. I would appreciate anyone, who has good data in this area, to be kind enough to pass on to me their rpm / speed figures. Also their prop details - Number (3 or 4 ) and type of blades ( cup or plain ) pitch and diameter. Now to the question of power. Here in Indonesia we have diesel 2, not diesel 1 as in the US of A ( I think). To take care of the power deficiency I blew the engines fitting turbo's and inter-coolers. They are working fine but I see no performance improvement. I run with just the smallest, 'happy' wisp of white smoke.. The new engine config' According to the DD manual has at least the power of the original J & T Nas So next guesstimate is I have a prop problem... Thus if a splendid 38C owner is still able to run at the spec figures in para 1 above, I would dearly like to know his or her prop dimensions and speeds at different rpm -- clean ( or dirty) bottom -- from the boonies -- Cheers Ross -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
