Editor's Note: This article was originally published in 2002, however I felt that it is a very informative source for those of you that are interested in the Tunnel Boat Design Program. The current version is 7.15, and the latest enhancements to this fantastic software now include full vee-hull design capability. The full list of version 7.15 of the Tunnel Boat Design Program can be viewed here.

With winter fast approaching, boaters’ thoughts turn to winterizing and the dull, boat-less months ahead. It is during these months that we take the time to reevaluate our rigs, and think about changes for the next season. Many of us think of ways to extract every last ounce of performance from our rigs as we wait for the warmer weather.

Fortunately, ...

One of the most important (and often confusing) decisions we make as performance boaters is the lubricating oil we choose to run in our high performance engines. Weather you run a highly-modified or stock engine, the importance of using high quality lubricants is just as great. We began using Aerospace Lubricant’s Alisyn oils almost two years ago, and have been using their products exclusively ever since that time. With the kind of abuse our driver Helmut Freitag can subject our test engine to, we aim to report ...

The importance of trimming the engine or drive unit in a performance boat is well-known. The trim angle affects the overall running attitude of the boat, and in a high performance application, proper trimming is crucial for maximum performance and safety.

For the above reasons, high performance boats generally have the trim controls situated in a location where it is most accessible, without the driver having to look for them. Since performance-minded boaters are always adjusting the drive unit trim angle, a common location for mounting the trim switches has been on the steering wheel itself. ...

Oil. Regardless of horsepower rating, lubricating oil is the one thing all internal combustion engines depend on as a core element of their function. The quality of oil used is a key variable in how well an engine performs under demanding conditions and for extended periods of operation. While there are other obvious factors that determine engine life, using a quality ...

For most people reading this article, an introduction to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or Electronic Control Module (ECM) of an electronically fuel injected engine is not necessary. Automobiles have been equipped with these units for over twenty years now, in varying levels of sophistication.

Essentially, the ECU or ECM is an onboard computer system that receives input from various sensors and actuators on and in the engine and delivers the programmed amount of fuel based on this input. As computer technology has increased, so has the ability to more accurately monitor engine operations. The result is more performance from less fuel.
