5 Marine Engineering Tools

Marine Engineering & Buoyancy Calculators

Verify ship displacement tonnages, estimate theoretical boat speeds and propeller slip, evaluate hull speeds (planing vs displacement), calculate fuel burn rates, and determine line breaking strengths.

Propeller Pitch & Slip

Calculate theoretical boat speed and actual speed based on propeller pitch, engine RPM, gear ratio, and hull slip percentages.

Propulsion Parameters

Theoretical distance traveled per rev
e.g., 2.00 reduces shaft RPM by half
Typically 10-15% (fast) or 20-30% (heavy)

Quick Formulas Summary

Archimedes VolV = Mass / Water Density
Theoretical KnotsKnots = (Pitch * Shaft RPM) / 1215.22
Hull Speed LWL LimitKnots = 1.34 * sqrt(LWL_ft)
Crouch Planing SpeedKnots = C / sqrt(Lbs / HP)
Line Break MBSMBS = strengthFactor * d² * 0.25
