Variations in propeller size
and design are expressed in
terms of diameter and pitch in
inches. The diameter of a two
bladed propeller is the meas
urement from the tip of one
blade to the tip of the other.
Diameter of a three-bladed
propeller is the measurement
from the center of the hub
to the tip of one blade multi
plied by two.
Photography Interesting
Sideline of Boat Fans
Many of the 3 7,0 0 0,0 0 0
American men and women
and children who participate
in the mushrooming boating
sport have found that one of
the enjoyable adjuncts of the
sport is photography. Well
taken pictures provide the
boating family with visual
memories of their days afloat,
and the days and scenes they
want to remember.
Few other recreational ac
tivities offer better opportuni
ties for the nation's "shutter
bugs" than boating. Both still
photography and motion pic
tures are used. Pictures of the
sky and fascinating cloud for
mations and the water itself,
sleek craft, fishing, water ski
ing, swimming, boat races-all
are part of the boating sport
and photographable.
Taking pictures on or near
the water, however, poses
problems that the photogra
pher would not normally find
ashore. Certain precautions
are also necessary to prevent
damage to photographic equip
ment and film. Spray will cor
rode a camera and will cause

The good photographer will
make sure that his camera and
equipment is protected when
he goes aboard.
Carrying Case
A leather carrying case will
provide a certain amount of
weather protection, but ex
perts suggest that the nautical
lensman wrap his equipment,
the camera especially, in oil
skin or a thick plastic bag
when not in use.
Another precaution that the
photographer must take is to
protect his film from fogging,
which is caused by hot sun's
rays beating on the camera.
Camera and film must be kept
in a cool, shaded place except
when filming.
Some hints on nautical pho
tography are: When shooting
from a moving boat, don't at
tempt to take a picture while
facing into the wind. Spray
might get into the camera.
Also, water reflects light, and
an exposure meter should be
used to provide the correct
lens opening. If in doubt, close
down one more stop on a
bright day.
On water there is addition
al ultraviolet light, which is
normally absorbed by trees,
grass and ground surfaces.
This can be overcome by using
a filter on the lens which does
not change the exposure.
. Motion is another problem;
and especially for the still pho
tographer, in shooting nau
tical scenes. On a small boat
the camera man must learn to
"give" with the movement of
the craft by standing with his
feet apart and firmly set.

Retail Sales of
Recreation Boats
Reach New Mark
Recreational boating sales
at the retail level hit the $2
billion mark for the first time
in 1958 and indications are
that sales will spiral over this
charmed figure again in 1959.
Despite the recession of the
past year, America's recrea
tional boating enthusiasts
spent $2,085,000,000 for new
and used boats, outboard mo
tors and marine engines, fuel,
insurance, equipment, dock
age, storage and repairs. This
compared with $1,912,000,000
spent in 1957 with marine
dealers, hardware and paint
stores, boat yards and a host of
other local merchants.
Various factors combining
to boom recreational boating
in. 1958 despite generally ad
verse business conditions. The
increasing population, longer
vacation periods and greater
leisure time, coupled with a
continued high buying power
of the public are considered
the primary impetus behind
last year's record boating busi
ness volume.
Belter Outlook
These same continuing fac
tors, plus a better general
business outlook and the up
trend in employment indicate
that 1959 will carry the retail
boating volume over last
year's record peak.
New boat production set a
record in 1958 according to
statistics compiled by the Na
tional Association of Engine
and Boat Manuf acturers.
There are some 7,300,000 rec
reational craft estimated to be
in use on waters of the United
States today with 37,000,000
persons participating in the
sport, making it the nation's
leading family recreation.
The boating industry con
sumed copious quantities of
raw materials in turning out
recreational craft in 1958, in
cluding 18,450 tons of fiber;
glass and resins, 23,500 tons of
aluminum and 171 million
square feet of marine ply
wood. The painting of new
boats and the refurbishing of
craft in use required nearly
10.5 million gallons of marine
finishes and varnish.
Cruising over the water
ways of the nation, the power
boat fleet - some 4,415,000 in
boards, outboards and auxili
aries burned 404 million
gallons of gasoline, 22 million
gallons of diesel fuel and 20
million gallons of lubricating
oil. '

When spring weather shows
up, the boating enthusiast
knows it's time to tune up his
equipment for the coming sea
son. For those with boat trailers,
chances are they spent the
winter months outside. Even if
the trailer is "stored in the
garage, several precautions
should be taken before put
ting it on the road.
1. Sand or file rusted sur
faces and retouch.
2. Replace winch-rope or
cable if it shows any fray.
3. Wheel bearings should be
cleaned and repacked. Have
bearings checked for wear.
Replacement is cheaper and
less time consuming than a
roadside breakdown.
4. Tighten all bolts.
5. Lubricate all moving
parts with heavy grease.
Courtesy Necessary
By Boat Operator
Owners of all types of boats
must know the rules and regu
lations governing their craft
on the different waters and!
within certain instances which
might occur.
Above all, the boat operator
and owner must remember
that courtesy is necessary at
all times.
Here are six basic rules sug
gested by the National Asso
ciation of Engine and Boat
Manufacturers for motorboat
owners:
1. Always keep to the right.
2. Rowboats, canoes and sail
boats, except when overtaking
another craft, always have the
right of way; as does any craft
approaching from the right.
3. When operating on the
waters under the jurisdiction
of the federal government, or
the various states, always
have full knowledge of the
rules or regulations governing
those waters and the equip
ment required for your boat.
4. Remember that some
states prohibit trolling or
shooting from any boat pow
ered with a' motor.
5. It is dangerous to speed i
too close to shore. You will I
endanger the lives of bathers
or fishermen.
MAIL TRIBUNE, MeJford, Oreqon, Wednesday, April 8, 1959 9B
6. Cradle and bunker pad
ding must be checked for
frayed or torn places. Replace
if needed.
7. Check coupler and re
place if lip is sprung. Check
coupler alignment with ton
gue. Straighten if not true.
