It may only be a coincidence but last season I made a hull speed run from my home port to Middle Bass Island. It was about a 4 hour trip. It was economical fuel usage wise. It was the next day when my port side transmission clutches fused. Fortunately it was stuck in forward so I could use the port engine travelling forward.

I wonder if running that slow could have caused my problem.

Rick, I honestly don't think so, lots of us run that way for years on and off...how would anyone do the loop ( canals ) if that was true......there is a formula for calculating your particular hull speed.



I agree with you. Reading something online does not mean that its true. Lets face it there are many places where you have to run at no wake speeds which is basically idle speeds.

06carp-- I'm a new Carver owner and love my 355 Aft cabin. There is a guy in my Marina Louisville, KY that is selling a 32ft
Aft cabin. He is a fanatic about his boat. If not to far away from you (Louisville) he's has it listed on Craigs list Louisville.
No reasonable offer refused. Csdaman2
