Boat "Kazanka-5M2": technical characteristics. "Kazanka-5M2": description, device and reviews

In the list of the best small boats in Soviet times there was a boat "Kazanka". Model reviews, technical characteristics of vessels of this brand are an integral part of the enthusiasm of an experienced fisherman.

Historical facts

More than half a century ago, in 1955, the first boat called "Kazanka" came off the assembly line. The manufacturer is the SP Gorbunov aviation production association. It is located in Kazan. Hence, most likely, the name of the boat went.

The first models of boats were made using innovative at that time material - duralumin. It was also used for the construction of aircraft and space ships. Recall that duralumin is an alloy of copper, aluminum and manganese. Hence its merits: lightness, strength, long service life. In addition, duralumin constructions do not rot and do not undergo corrosion.

The technical characteristics of the motor boat "Kazanka" of the first years of production are not the best. Despite this, the appearance of the boat domestic assembly was by the way. This event did not pass by fans of river rest.

The emergence of a new model

In connection with the manifested interest in their products, the company's manufacturers soon developed a new model - "Kazanka-5M2". Its technical characteristics were better than those of the previous version. It was also made of duralumin, but its dimensions were slightly enlarged. The length was five meters. It was even called the longest boat for fishermen in the entire Soviet Union. Its dimensions allowed to accommodate up to six passengers. This fact was especially appreciated among users.

The next stage of development

After some time, manufacturers presented for public review other models of ships. The boat "Kazanka-5M2", the description and characteristics of which were inferior to the new models, ceased to be produced. It was replaced by "Kazanka-5" with improved performance. But even this model had a number of shortcomings. Due to the concave-keel contours, the boat quickly dispersed, could pass small waves, maneuvered well. But the same elements of the frame led to the fact that the boat was buried in the stern if it was used incorrectly.

Another disadvantage is the weak bottom. Within five or ten years it was starting to leak. Many users say this.

Getting rid of the shortcomings of the model caused the development of new versions. Their production continues to this day.

Overview of the model line of motor boats "Kazanka"

Throughout its history, the company produced about a dozen modifications:

• The Kazanka.

• "Kazanka-M".

• "Kazanka-MD".

• "Kazanka-2M".

• "Kazanka-5".

• "Kazanka-5M", including its version of "5M2", "5M3", "5M4".

• "Kazanka-6".

• "Kazanka-6M".

For today only two models are produced: "Kazanka-5M4" and "Kazanka-5m6".

Overview of the boat type "5M2"

Motor boat "Kazanka-5M2" came to replace the model "5M", which had its shortcomings. They were associated with an outboard transom - the weakest part of the ship. There were even cases when he completely fell off. These problems were solved by the developers. The result of their refinement resulted in the creation of a new model. Its release began in 1978. It was not only the design that was changed, but also the technical characteristics.

"Kazanka-5M2" had a traditional way of placing a transom. Changes affected the windscreen and cockpit layout. But this version of the boats was not devoid of shortcomings. They covered, again, in the laterals. Due to them during the wind, the nose of the boat hit the wave, creating a large number of splashes. The boat began to brake, and the spray flew to the passengers.

In calm weather due to the large wetted surface, the boat barely overcame the water resistance. This caused difficulties in the movement.

The production of the modification "5M2" was completed by the end of the eighties of the last century. She was replaced by the model "5M3".

Motor boats "Kazanka-5M2" and "Kazanka-5M3" differed slightly. The latest model had a reinforced frame. At the same time, its engine was more powerful - sixty horsepower.

The hull of the boat and its dimensions

Technical characteristics of "Kazanka-5M2" are dependent on its dimensions. And the dimensions of this model are as follows:

• The length of the ship is four and a half meters.

• The width is one hundred and sixty centimeters.

• Height - seventy-two centimeters.

The body itself was made of duralumin. The main elements are fastened together by rivets. Between the parts that will be under water, there is a seal. The whole body is primed and painted with water-resistant paint.

The carrying capacity of four hundred kilograms made it possible to accommodate a crew of four (or five) people. The curb weight of the boat was one hundred and ninety kilograms.

Specifications

"Kazanka-5M2" was equipped with outboard engines, the power of which did not exceed sixty horsepower (or 44.12 kilowatts). Two outboards can be mounted on the boat. But their total power should not exceed sixty horsepower.

Engines with this power were able to give the boat a good speed. For example, with a 30 horsepower engine installed, the ship was able to accelerate to a speed of thirty-four kilometers per hour.

To save fuel consumption it is recommended to install a power unit with the power of thirty horsepower, and not higher.

The carrying capacity of the boat is four hundred kilograms. This allows you to take on board four or five people. At the same time, the weight of the motor is not taken into account, as is the weight of the spare fuel.

The distance of three kilometers from the shore and a wave seventy-five centimeters high - the limit that can overcome "Kazanka-5M2." Motor and rowing boats of this type are used for navigation on rivers, as well as coastal zones of the seas, lakes, reservoirs.

Boat arrangement

Motor boat "Kazanka-5M2" consists of the following main parts:

• Housing.

• Engine.

• Windshield.

• Control system.

• Folding awning.

• Signal mast.

The motorboat is conditionally divided into two compartments: the bow and the working (the cockpit).

On the deck, just in front of the working compartment, a windscreen is installed. Its purpose - to protect the crew and passengers from splashing water and wind. The glass itself consists of two parts (right and left). Around the glass is made a frame from the profile. It serves to attach to the deck. For this purpose, special brackets are used. In the joints of individual elements, a rubber gasket is laid. It protects against vibration and glass damage by mechanical means.

The outboard motor is controlled by a cable system. The control system can be divided into two components: remote and steering. The driver manages the boat by means of the steering wheel and the console. From the steering wheel to the motor itself is a system of cables that turn the engine. In addition, they provide gas regulation and braking.

A remote control panel is required if power units of the Neptune or Vortex type are attached to the vessel.

The bottom of the motor boat "Kazanka-5M2" is covered with slides. They are made of waterproof plywood. To the skeleton of the ship the slides are fixed with screws.

Convenience of placement

Two longitudinal profiles are attached to the slides fixed on the bottom of the boat. Special nests are also made there. They are equipped with two armchairs. You can shoot them. For convenience of placement, the chairs can be folded. The seat frames themselves are made of metal pipes (both the base and the back). To them as panels are attached all the same plywood. On top of the plywood put on soft pillows, and for each seat its own.

Pillows are divided into three parts. The two upper ones have straps for fixing to the frame. They put on the back of the chair. The material used is vinyl leather (for the front side) and plashevka (for purl).

Due to the presence of pillows you can organize a full bed for three people. For this, the seats are removed and hidden in a folded place in the trunk. At the bottom across the boat laid down cushions.

If necessary, you can install a tent, which itself is foldable. It consists of arcs and cloth. From the arcs along the perimeter of the boat a frame is assembled. On each side is obtained by two racks, connected together by the elements of the arc. The side parts have brackets that are fixed to the boat. The panel has opening sidewalls and a rear flap. The fixation to the glass and frame is due to hooks and a shock absorber. The upper parts of the arc are passed through pockets sewn on top of the material.

For navigation in the dark, there is a signal mast that burns with white fire. It is attached to the bracket installed in the center of the windshield. In addition to the mast, there are side lights and batteries.

Preparation for operation and operation

The boat "Kazanka-5M2", the description and characteristics of which are given above, will serve for a long time. But for this it is necessary to observe some simple rules for its operation.

First you need to properly prepare the motor boat for work. It is necessary to familiarize with the instruction which on a mandatory basis is included in the list of supplied elements. Further it is necessary to act in accordance with the instructions given in it.

From the luggage compartment of the boat, you need to remove all the components and parts. They need to be installed on the ship's hull. To learn how to do this, the same instruction manual will help. When all available parts and equipment are installed, you can start operating the boat.

When using "Kazanka", especially in an active environment (for example, in sea water), it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the hull of the boat. To do this, a visual inspection of its surface for the presence of scratches and the condition of the paint as a whole. This is done on land after cleaning the surface of the vessel from contamination (sand, debris). When there is damage to the paintwork, it must be restored without fail. The operation of a motor boat with paint damage is prohibited.

The windshield must always be clean. Wash it with clean water or water and soap. It is forbidden to use solvents, acids, alkalis and other chemicals for this purpose.

Regularly inspect the control cables and their lubrication. Watch their tension. If you see the breakage of the fibers of the cable, gently press them with pliers.

Elements of plywood and fabrics should be dried regularly. Slides should be dry and well-painted. If necessary, clean the awning from dirt. Strong dirt can be removed with a brush. Do not forget that every wash worsens the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

Conclusion

The possibility of using a motor boat "5M2" for fishing and rest provides its functional and technical characteristics. "Kazanka-5M2" with an installed engine of thirty horsepower has a good flow rate and a fairly high speed of movement. But, like all things, the boat will long please its owners if it provides proper care.
