Small boats with outboard engines and personal water crafts (PWC) tend to ingest water simply because they run in and around it. During a rollover, or when a wave washes over the craft, its engine can hydrolock, though severe damage is rare due to the special air intakes and low rotating inertia of small marine engines.
Crews had to use inflatable boats to get through the knee-deep water, which in part aided in the rescue of about 200 people. On Tuesday, dozens of displaced households had to sleep in hotels ...
Thermal treatment is a highly effective strategy for the control of zebra mussels (McMahon et al. 1995). Thermal treatment may include retrofitting a closed loop system to recirculate the heated water to the sea chest or the addition of a second sea chest system, allowing engine cooling water to be discharged through the idle sea chest.

Ballast water discharges are also believed to be the leading source of invasive species in U.S. marine waters, thus posing public health and environmental risks, as well as significant economic cost to industries such as water and power utilities, commercial and recreational fisheries, agriculture, and tourism.

Using a new state law, the Town of Port Royal is pursuing tough new mooring rules to keep derelict boats at bay as it prepares to pour nearly $1 million into building a new shrimp dock.
With the development of the marine steam engine, their boilers also required a continual supply of feedwater. Early boilers used seawater directly, but this gave problems with the build-up of brine and scale. [23] For efficiency, as well as conserving feedwater, marine engines have usually been condensing engines.
The boat was reported to reach a speed of four mph moving upstream. [7] [8] [9] On December 21, 1833, Irish engineer John Howard Kyan received a UK patent for propelling ships by a jet of water ejected from the stern. [10] In April 1932, Italian engineer Secondo Campini demonstrated a pump-jet propelled boat in Venice, Italy. The boat achieved ...
