    CMB 45 M-Line fuel consumption question

    Hello everyone, In the process of deciding what tank to put in a AC Lazer 40. Got a CMB 45 M-Line going in it I've got a 16oz Sullivan tank which happens to fit perfectly towards the front of the boat. But I'm curious at what kind of runtime this would give me. I've never run a 45 though...

    Parts Wanted CMB 45 RS Engine Mount

    Hi all, Got a 45 M-Line, need an engine mount for it. I do have one but messed up drilling/tapping it so need a replacement. Ideally one which was designed to fit so doesn't need modifying and risk delaying the build further, if possible. I'm located in Portugal, in terms of shipping. Boat has...

    Looking for decal set

    Hi all Not sure if this is the right place to ask. But here goes. I've got an Aeromarine Predator 21 painted in a bright green colour. I've never been good at stickering/decal that kind of thing, always lacked inspiration. I'd love to buy a "set" of stickers to put on it to just "finish it...

    Prop strut, rear mounted or underneath?

    Hi all, Only me with another hydroplane question :D - sorry, there are going to be a lot! I noticed in some recent youtubing while it was quiet at work that almost, if not all of the Hydroplane builds (American youtuber if that makes a difference) had the prop strut mounted to the bottom of...

    Why is the cockpit/engine off centre in hydroplane boats?

    Hi all and Merry Christmas! While working on the hull I recently picked up. I noticed that the "centre" of the boat being the cockpit etc is about 1 inch further to one side than the other. I panicked initially, thinking it was a crap hull and/or my eyes were deceiving me. Looking online...

    Which 45 sized hull?

    Hey all, Have bought a CMB 45 M-Line...although not sure what to put it in :D I am not a fan of FSRV/Multi style boats. I like to sail something that looks like a boat. I've got 3 Catamaran style hulls already, so fancy either a hydro or a Deep-V - preferably a Deep-V if I can find one - but...

    For Sale: MAC 67 & 80

    Got 2 MACs for sale. We bought these originally around 15 years ago and never ran them until summer last year - these were fitted in a 42" and 36" sprint cat respectively. We have removed a shim from each one to adjust the squish as these were originally set up for 40% nitro or more. Bringing...

    CMB 91RS M-Line - Which plug?

    Hi there, I recently picked up a CMB 91RS M-Line, have never owned a CMB before. Can't find any recommendations regarding a plug. I am assuming these are a hot engine so require a cold plug, can anyone with experience confirm this? It will be run on 25% Nitro if that makes any difference :)...

    CMB 90 - Geared or Direct Drive

    Hi all, Currently eyeing up a Dave Marles Orion 48 cat (racing kevlar edition) and thinking a 90 sized nitro engine would go like **** off a shovel in one of those. So, looking at CMB engines, I notice in their new M-Line range they have both geared and direct drive options available. Now, I...

    Hello all :) First time telemetry installation here. A quick question, when installing the SBS-01T Temperature sensor, I know it seems/feels obvious to wrap the sensor inbetween the cooling fins and then run the cables to the radio box, however a potentially ignorant/stupid question here...
