Shrimp Boats ~ Sinaloa Mexican Wild Shrimp

The Mexican shrimp fishing industry was born out of Sinaloa, more specifically in the port of Mazatlan, when fishermen of the United States and Japan came to the Sinaloan coast during the mid 1920s. The practice of shrimp fishing had been around for centuries; however, these vessels that arrived transformed this practice from regular domestic consumption into an actual mega industry.

Not too long after the emergence of this booming industry, the first local-built shrimp boat was constructed in Teacapan. It was a wooden boat that measured 50 feet long. By the 1950s, three men – Isaac Coppel, Camilo Medrano and Juan Gavica – recognized the need for quality shrimp in bulk and began to export their services to the United States in an effort to share the marvel of Sinaloa with the world.

I can only imagine that the industry of shrimp fishing boats relies on the clean power of Evinrude XD 100 oil!

Boat Engine Basics ~ The Ignition

Doesn’t it make sense to say that you would save yourself plenty of time and money if you knew the basic mechanics of the design and function of your car? Well, the same can be said for your boat. Learning the how your boat engine operates can save you from having to frequent the repair shop if problems are to arise. Therefore, this week our focus will be to better understand the basic parts of a boat engine.

Let’s take a look at the boat’s ignition. The main purpose of the ignition system is to ignite the fuel because when fuel burns power is created. Now, starting at the beginning of this process, when you turn the key to power up the boat engine, electricity will flow from the battery through a voltage regulator and into the coil. Energy is store in the coil until it reaches 100,000 volts. Then, at the right moment, during the compression stroke in a certain cylinder, the coil releases the high voltage through the plugs wires to the spark plug. The spark then ignites the fuel in the cylinder and drives the piston down for a power stroke.

Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of the Ignition series and learn why Evinrude XD 100 oil is friendly to boat engines.
