Ah! maybe, however, we only had about 70 hours on the 50. Now that you mention it I'd be interested in finding out hours used on the other motor.

They said the part was fixed shortly after the problem was found. Didn't tell me how many faulty motors were distributed.

Well I found out what is wrong with my motor. The air compresser in the 2002 TDLI 50 stoped working and shot gas throughout the motor. Luckly Nissan has agreed to replace the faulty parts and the ruined parts for free. Also I thought I had 2 clams up in the centerboard, well, turned out to be a larg...

does that apply to the Nissan TDLI as well?

Thanks a bunch

my concern is burning the 50 out. Can I go 12.14 knots with Mac at 4300rpm for say 6 to 8 hours w/o burning her out?
The motor has very few hours on it. I thought it had 200 but it ends up having approx 80 after tracking the hours.

All we store is cloths, and the basics.

I have a TDLI 50. I'm trying to get the maximum cruising speed. I read somewhere if I have a larger prop put on the 50 it lower RPMs and get more speed. I would imagine the shop would have to change the gear ratio. Did I understand this article correct? I have misplaced the mag. 2. Does any body kno...

it's perfect time of year. I was just telling my wife it's time to buy the hitch. Okay thanks for the info and have a great week.

So this morning we left Brownsville, powerd out to Blake Island and raised the sails on the :macx: . Today was a beautiful day to be out in the Sound, Puget Sound. We sailed for a about 5.5 hours. The best sail I can remember in a long time. We have not had any problems with our X in 6 years, howeve...

Now I'm thinking again. Do you still sail? Does she feel right while sailing?

Well I am thankful for all the info and I perfer sailing over powering. So after reading everybody's posts I think I'm going to stick to the basics for the simple reason of I like sailing over powering. Luckley I am close to a dealer Blue Water Yatch if I do plan on making the change to my :macx: Th...

Oh Frank you got me, I meant 100HP, my wife wants to powerboat and I want sai
Anyway thanks, I've read that it throws the displamement? off but I'm not really understanding how that minimal weight different can effect her that much.

I would like to say it's nice to see the board is still in great shape. I haven't been on for some reason :| any way I searched and came up with 156 matches and I'm just wondering if I was to place a 100CC outboard on my X would it cause problems. I'm thinking of moving to a powerboat but am not wil...

thank you both

excellent! I thought I saw that mod posted before. This time when I searched I was unable to find it.
