Uses and Applications of Kemel Propeller Nut

July 11th, 2018

Before this post dives into yet another innovative design principle, a cautionary note should be issued. Marine engineers, masters of all things mechanical, they know that hydraulic systems use dangerous pressures. For that reason, high-pressure hydraulic systems must be worked upon with all due care. Having opened with this reproach, we’ve gotten ahead of ourselves. […]

Yanmar Marine Auxiliary Diesel Engines: Purposes and Functions

June 27th, 2018

Uninterrupted electrical power flows from bow to stern. A Yanmar marine auxiliary diesel engine is humming away deep inside the boat. Not to be overly dramatic, this equipment is the ship’s lifeline, the vessel’s life support system, in fact. Built by Yanmar, a reliable diesel-fueled auxiliary engine is a multitasking workhorse. It generates electricity, it […]

Yanmar Diesel Marine Engines: Most Important Spare Parts to Keep Onboard

June 8th, 2018

Smart yachtsmen keep spare parts onboard. Seeing that oceangoing vessels have adopted this fundamental strategy, how can a recreational sailor do less? It’s just common sense, a safety net that’ll protect the boat if it breaks down kilometres from shore. Having arrived at that realization, what spare parts deserve a place onboard? Remember, storage space […]

Qualities of Kemel Water-Lubricated Stern Tube Bearings

May 29th, 2018

A propeller protrudes from a ship stern. The vital drive component then rotates on a drive shaft and thrusts the vessel forward. Clearly, design excellence shapes propeller geometry and provides shaft durability. Kemel water-lubricated stern tube bearings reflect this level of engineering mastery. But just how does this drive supporting bearing achieve that laudable design […]

How Diesel Fuel Works in Yanmar Marine Engines

May 14th, 2018

A powerful mechanical heart beats deep inside a marine boat. Or maybe it’s an alloy-plated best that crouches below decks. Whatever the metaphor, Yanmar diesel engines meet and often exceed the most grueling engineering standards. Fueling those advanced propulsion systems, enhanced diesel fuels provide energy to the pistons and cylinders in the internal combustion chamber. […]
