Bonsoir pourriez-vous éclairer ma lanterne suite a un nettoyage et dessalage d'un moteur hors-bord de 2,5 CV 2 T de mon annexe je l'ai fait tourner au ralentit dans un fut d'eau propre une demi-heure ensuite l'eau etait mélangée avec de l huile noire donc ma question est de savoir d'où vient l'huile car j ai vidangé l'embase et l'huile parait propre comme à l'origine car dans la saison le moteur tourne cinq heures environs merçi pour votre aide Cdlt
Bonjour, juste hypothèse, moteur 2T donc huile dans le mélange et une partie que tu retrouve dans l'eau car au ralenti la combustion n'est pas totale. Autrement problème de joint spi d'arbre d'hélice. Jac
Bonjour, Exact et c'est pourquoi les 2T sont maintenant interdits à la vente.
Echappement?
Bonsoir, ben oui, un 2T recrache presque autant de carburant que ce qu'il brûle, et je n'ézagaire qu'à peine, bien qu'étant Marseillais...
pesner à mettre du vinaigre blanc dans l'eau pour détarter . autrement l'eau douce seule ne fera jamais fondre le calcaire . alain

Three hulls are better than one! That would be the adage of the trimaran. It consists of one central hull with two smaller side hulls, called amas. The average person conceives of the trimaran as something even more extreme than catamarans. Lighter weight, higher speed, more specialized. The opposite is actually true; trimarans fill an excellent transition role between monohulls and catamaran. Recognize the potential applications by understanding the strengths and weakness of the trimaran hullform.
When you seek trimarans, envision stability. A conventional monohull must balance conflicting needs of resistance and stability. You want a narrow skinny hull to reduce resistance (and fuel consumption). But you need a wide hull to maintain vessel stability and keep the ship upright. The trimaran separates these two design requirements.
In a trimaran, the central hull provides most of the ship buoyancy (90-95% usually). It does this with a long, narrow hull. And then the outer hulls, called amas, provide the stability. This arrangement allows incredible flexibility in the hull design. Due to the wide separation between hulls, it requires very little buoyancy in the amas to keep the trimaran stable. That is why many trimarans barely have their amas in the water. Compare the relative size of the amas vs the main hull in Figure 1‑1. The amas are just there for stability.
The trimaran offers several capabilities to bridge the gap between monohulls and catamarans:
Another advantage is the design of the cross deck (Figure 2‑1) between the main hull and amas. On a catamaran, this cross deck bridges a large empty gap. Large gaps add complexity to the engineering and require stronger structures. We don’t like that. Stronger structures mean more weight and higher costs. But the trimaran’s cross deck is much smaller. It requires less of a gap between hulls, and it does not extend for the entire ship length. Longitudinal bending is less of a concern for the cross deck. This greatly simplifies the design of that cross deck, giving us many advantages:
The long length of the center hull also offers great advantages for seakeeping. This length greatly reduces pitch motions in a wave, and the narrow center hull reduces chances of slamming. To improve things even more, the side amas reduce roll motions. They add stiffness to prevent large roll motions. But they also act to reduce roll accelerations. All together, trimarans make for gentle seakeeping.
The trimaran offers major advantages for damage survival. The side amas provide excellent protection to the center hull, which military designers find especially useful. But the cross deck also helps with damage survival by containing massive reserve buoyancy. Imagine a damage situation where the ship sinks down to its cross deck. On a monohull, that would be game over. But on a trimaran, the cross deck suddenly becomes a barge, easily supporting the entire ship weight. This reserve buoyancy provides extra peace of mind in yachting applications.
Speaking of peace of mind, let’s talk about a sudden loss of stability. In catamarans, you lose stability once a single ama completely leaves the water. Push a catamaran past that point, and stability is a losing battle. A fact that scares many vessel operators. Trimarans do not have this problem. They get stability mainly from submerging the amas. The center hull always stays in the water, and the leeward ama continues to submerge. This creates a predictable increase in righting moment. In normal cases, trimarans never experience the sudden loss of stability.
The biggest disadvantage for trimarans is lack of experience. There are few trimarans in military applications, and even less in commercial use. That lack of exposure instills wariness in many operators. I appreciate caution, but don’t let that stop you from realizing the benefits of a trimaran.
Trimarans do have a few genuine detractors. Due to their complexity, they require some extra design effort. The cross deck introduces a few extra ways to twist and bend the ship, and the engineers must check each of these extra scenarios. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is the ideal tool for this.
Don’t worry about the FEA bill. You should expect a slight increase, but nothing huge. FEA was already a part of the design process for normal monohulls. Most ship designs already require FEA to consider global hull bending. That means the hard part is already done. Your engineer already had to build an FEA model of the hull. With minimal effort, engineers can expand that model to account for the additional design scenarios of a trimaran.
Cost definitely factors into trimaran construction. The cross deck and extra hulls do add extra steel to the design. You have to pay for that extra steel as part of the build cost. (Figure 3‑1) But don’t assume this drastically increases the total build cost. Adding extra structure is far less expensive than adding extra machinery and power.
Consider the alternative to a trimaran: an equivalent monohull. For the monohull, we strip off the side amas and widen the center hull to maintain ship stability. But bad news. A wider hull requires a larger engine, and associated support machinery. In general, the machinery accounts for approximately 50% of the total build cost. The structure is only around 25-30% of the build cost. [3] Adding larger machinery costs twice as much as adding extra structure.
You see trimarans most often in high speed vessels and the occasional military vessel.
One of the first experimental military trimarans was the Triton, a steel vessel with a displacement exceeding 1000 MT. [3] (Figure 4‑1) These are not little vessels.
Don’t think of trimarans as an expensive hullform. The prevalence of trimarans with expensive ships is mostly a coincidence. Imagine if you wanted a high speed ship. First step is pick a trimaran hullform. But for high speed, you also build it out of aluminum and load it with powerful engines. Those are all high priced decisions that get imposed on the trimaran hullform. The hull shape does not drive the price tag, and trimarans are not limited to high speed.
Aker Arctic even investigated using trimarans as an icebreaking tug. (Figure 4‑2) Aker found the trimaran configuration especially useful for cutting wide channels through the ice with less power. Trimarans are just a hull configuration. How you use the hull is up to you.
Don’t let the previous trimarans limit your imagination. The trimaran hullform bridges the gap between monohulls and catamarans. It offers some advantages of both deadweight capability and larger deck area. Primarily, trimarans deliver ship stability in a very power efficient package. What uses can you imagine with that flexibility?

A radical new foiling hull design claims to combine the efficiency of a trimaran with the space of a monohull — Hugo Andreae takes a look at the world’s first trimonoran motoryacht.
Award-winning Turkish yacht designer Baran Akalin has combined forces with Dutch engineer G. Jelle Bilkert to create what they describe as the world’s first ‘trimonoran’. As the name suggests it is based on a ground-breaking new hull design that claims to offer the efficiency and stability of a trimaran with the speed and volume of a monohull.
Instead of three slender vertical hulls linked by spars or a beamy main deck, the two outer hulls fan out at an angle from the central hull like the segments of an orange. These are linked below the waterline with hydrofoils to create the necessary lift for planing without the associated drag and unforgiving ride of a big, beamy monohull.
The idea was originally drafted by Dutch naval architect G. Jelle Bilkert some time ago but has now been refined, developed and tank tested with the aid of Dutch government funding into a fully patented production concept by Dutch company AnwigemA BV. Budding Turkish yacht designer Baran Akalin, who won a design award last year for his futuristic steampunk superyacht concept , saw its potential as the basis and has further developed the idea into a striking new luxury motoryacht concept named Escalade.
Tank testing of the scale model proved its potential
The benefits of this new low drag design are said to include speed gains of up to 30% over a conventional monohull, excellent stability both under way and at rest, large deck and hull spaces and superior fuel efficiency at cruising speeds leading to a greater range.
The principal is much the same as a trimaran in as far as the slender central hull generates less drag than a single beamy monohull design and slices cleanly through waves for a softer more efficient ride. The two outer hulls then provide the lateral stability as well as the extra volume and deck space needed to house the accommodation.
However, unlike a conventional multihull, it doesn’t come with the penalty of an excessively wide beam that makes it hard to fit into marina berths, nor the small planing surfaces that require huge amounts of power to generate enough lift to make it plane.
Article continues below…
Leen 72 first look: cutting-edge trimaran launched by neel yachts.
The key to this new trimonoran design is the addition of two foils linking the front and stern sections of the outer hulls. These not only provide lift but also reduce drag to enable the kind of planing speeds not normally possible with this size and style of yacht. Another break from tradition is the adoption of a hydraulic link to transfer power between the engines and the propellers rather than a conventional shaft.
This allows the engines to be positioned amidships to keep the weight as low and central as possible while the propellers are mounted on the aft foil to keep them immersed at all times. The only physical link between the two are the high pressure hoses which feed hydraulic fluid from the main engines to the small hydraulic motors and shafts in the foil. Sealegs amphibious boats use a similar system to feed hydraulic power from the petrol generator mounted under the helm seat to the folding wheels on the transom.
Akalin’s current design for Escalade is based on an LOA of 82ft (25m) with a beam of 32ft 8in (10m). This is almost double the width of a comparable monohull such as the Princess 82 (18ft 10in) but still usefully slimmer than a similar length of powercat such as the Sunreef Power 80 (39ft 4in).
Vast main deck makes the most of its 32ft beam with central seating on a raised plinth
This length-to-beam ratio creates enough volume on the lower decks for four cabins and four bathrooms including a large master suite in the bow and an additional two-person crew cabin. However, the big wins are on the main and flybridge decks, both of which benefit from the extra floor space enabled by that 32ft beam.
The main deck incorporates a large open plan living area with a galley on the starboard side and a lounge area to port, in the middle of the yacht on a slightly raised plinth is a central seating and dining area with uninterrupted views out both sides. Doors out to the side decks as well as the cockpit encourage an easy flow of people and air through the yacht. The styling of the interior is the work of British designer Celia Sawyer.
Access to the flybridge is via a central staircase which passes under a glass-bottomed jacuzzi that allows light to filter down into the cockpit below as well as a unique view for its occupants of the wake trailing out behind. Multiple sunpads on the flybridge, in the aft cockpit and on the foredeck ensure it’s every bit as luxurious as a conventional monohull while its futuristic looks are a far cry from the rather dumpy looks of some multihull designs.
Although only a concept at this stage Akalin is confident Escalade could be turned into a viable production or semi-custom superyacht at a price that would allow it to compete with monohulls of similar volume.
