> [@Steamer](#): > > Please say you guys are joking … With regard to VFD’s: 1. Use VFD rated cables, it will save you trouble in the long run. 2. Be ready for power quality issues both acting on the VFD and caused by the VFD. 3. Make sure you mount one at all 4 quarters of the ship and midships so when you deploy them the ship will float evenly and not incur undue bending stresses. ---

There are at least a dozen more of various sizes scattered to all four corners of the boat. I recon the Norge NavArch’s this vessel design was stolen from knew about the proper placement of these things for reserve buoyancy. ---

Did you know they got these doors down below that slide back and forth like them star track doors on the enterprise. I’d never seen them move until we had to make sure they worked for the ABS fella. Hell I’ve walked through them a million times didnt even know’d they was doors at all. They have a car jack looking thing behind em didn’t even knowd that was there. Once I got to looking at em real close like I found a small pump in the door frame. That finally explained why there was a puddle of oil under the door for the longest time. After about a year a wipin it up it never came back again. I figured one of the guys was funnin with me but I’m to smart to let it get to me. ---
