Abstract

Study the performance of motor boats are lifted by the propulsion system installed on the ship a bit much effect on the performance of the ship. Where the ship propulsion system will affect the time sailing. These conditions allow the performance of the vessel affected. If there is discrepancy between the propulsion system with engine will result in rotation of the ship main engine is not in accordance with the rotation propeller used, and the power needed can not be satisfied by the engine. This will lead to thrust the ship can not reach optimum condition, while fuel consumption ship became uneconomical, and ultimately lead to high levels of vessel operating costs. Performance in question in this case is the resistance vessels, and the calculation engine boat propeller matching.

Research on the performance study of motor boats is expected to provide information on performance engine that is mounted on the ship. From the information can be found correspondence between his engine with propulsor already have a good performance or not. And to provide alternatives when spesific between them have not achieved the desired condition.

Based on the calculation and analysis obtained a result which indicates that the current conditions with the old engine and propeller, the ship can not reach the speed of the planned service that is 4 knots. By PT. Kreasi Mas Marine is the turn of the main propulsion system and also planned an increase in boat speed to 8 knots.
