The boat "Kazanka" appeared in the list of the best small boats back in Soviet times. Reviews of models, technical characteristics of vessels of this brand are an integral part of the hobby of an experienced angler.

Historical facts

More than half a century ago, in 1955, the first boat called "Kazanka" rolled off the assembly line. The manufacturer is the Aviation Production Association named after S. P. Gorbunov. It is located in Kazan. From here, most likely, the name of the boat also went.

The first models of boats were made using an innovative material at that time - duralumin. It was also used for the construction of aircraft and spacecraft. Recall that duralumin is an alloy of copper, aluminum and manganese. Its advantages follow from this: lightness, strength, long service life. In addition, duralumin structures do not rot or corrode.

The technical characteristics of the motor boat "Kazanka" of the first years of production are not the best. Despite this, the appearance of a domestically assembled boat came in handy. This event did not pass by lovers of river recreation.

The emergence of a new model

In connection with the interest in their products, the company's manufacturers soon developed a new model - "Kazanka-5M2". Its technical characteristics were better than the previous version. It was also made of duralumin, but its dimensions were slightly increased. The length was five meters. She 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 by users.

The next stage of development

After some time, manufacturers presented other models of ships to the public. The boat "Kazanka-5M2", the description and characteristics of which were inferior to the new models, was no longer produced. She was replaced by "Kazanka-5" with improved performance. But this model also had a number of shortcomings. Due to the concave-keel contours, the boat quickly accelerated, could pass small waves, and maneuvered well. But these same frame elements led to the fact that the boat was buried in the stern if it was used incorrectly.

Another downside is the weak bottom. After five or ten years, it began to leak. Many users are talking about this.

Getting rid of the shortcomings of the model caused the development of new versions. Themproduction is still ongoing.

Overview of the range of motorboats "Kazanka"

During its history, the company has made about a dozen modifications:

Kazanka

Kazanka-M

Kazanka-MD

Kazanka-2M

Kazanka-5

"Kazanka-5M", including its versions "5M2", "5M3", "5M4"

Kazanka-6

Kazanka-6M

Today, only two models are produced: Kazanka-5M4 and Kazanka-5m6.

Review of the boat type "5M2"

Motorboat "Kazanka-5M2" replaced the model "5M", which had its drawbacks. They were connected to the outboard transom - the weakest part of the vessel. There were even cases when it completely fell off. These issues have been resolved by the developers. The result of their refinement resulted in the creation of a new model. Its release began in 1978. Not only the design has been changed, but also the specifications.

"Kazanka-5M2" had a traditional way of placing the transom. The changes affected the windshield and cockpit layout. But this version of the boats was not without flaws. They were covered, again, in the side branches. Due to them, during the wind, the bow of the boat hit the wave, creating a large amount of spray. The boat began to slow down, and the spray flew at the passengers.

In calm weather, due to the large wetted surface, the boat could hardly overcome the resistance of the water. This caused difficulties in movement.

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

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

Boat hull and dimensions

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

The vessel is four and a half meters long

Width - one hundred and sixty centimeters

Height - seventy-two centimeters

The body itself was made of duralumin. The main elements are fastened together with rivets. A seal is located between the parts that will be under water. The entire body is primed and painted with waterproof paint.

The carrying capacity of four hundred kilograms made it possible to accommodate a crew of four (or five) people. At the same time, 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). The boat can be equipped with two outboard engines. But their total power must not exceed sixty horsepower.

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

To save fuel consumption, it is recommended to install a power unit with exactly 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. In this case, the weight of the engine is not taken into account, as well as the weight of the spare fuel.

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

Boat device

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

Case

Engine

Windscreen

Control system

Folding awning

Signal tower

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

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

Outboard is controlled by thecables. The control system can be divided into two components: remote and steering. The driver controls the boat by means of a steering wheel and remote control. From the steering wheel to the motor itself there is a system of cables that turn the engine. In addition, they provide throttle and braking control.

Remote control is required if Neptune or Whirlwind power packs are attached to the vessel.

The bottom of the Kazanka-5M2 motor boat is covered with slates. They are made of waterproof plywood. Slants are fixed to the frame of the ship with screws.

Ease of placement

Two longitudinal profiles are attached to the slants fixed on the bottom of the boat. Special nests are also made there. They have two chairs. They can be removed. The chairs can be folded down for ease of placement. The seat frames themselves are made of metal pipes (both the base and the back). The same plywood is attached to them as panels. Soft pillows are put on top of the plywood, and each seat has its own.

Pillows are divided into three parts. The top two have straps for fixing to the frame. They are worn on the back of the chair. The material used is vinyl leather (for the front side) and raincoat fabric (for the wrong side).

Due to the presence of pillows, you can organize a full bed for three people. To do this, the seats are removed and hidden in a folded place in the trunk. Removed pillows are placed on the bottom across the boat.

If necessary, you can install an awning, which itself is foldable. It consists of arcs and panels. From the arcs around the perimeter of the boat is goingframe. On each side, two racks are obtained, interconnected by arc elements. The side parts have brackets that are fixed to the boat. The panel has opening sidewalls and a rear flap. Fixation to the glass and frame occurs due to hooks and a shock absorber. The tops of the bow are passed through the pockets sewn onto the top of the material.

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

Preparing 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 you need to follow some simple rules for its operation.

First you need to properly prepare the boat for work. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions, which are mandatory included in the list of supplied items. Then you need to act in accordance with the instructions given in it.

It is necessary to remove all elements and parts from the luggage compartment of the boat. They need to be installed on the hull of the vessel. To find out 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 the Kazanka, especially in an active environment (for example, in sea water), it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the boat hull. To do this, a visual inspection of its surface for scratches and the condition of the paint as a whole is carried out. This is done on land after cleaning the surface of the vessel from pollution (sand, debris). If there is damage to the paintwork, it must be restored without fail. Do not operate a boat with damaged paint.

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

Regularly inspect and lubricate the control cables. Watch their tension. If cable breaks are visible, gently press them with pliers.

Plywood and fabric elements should be dried regularly. Sleighs must be dry and well dyed. Clean the awning as necessary from dirt. Strong dirt can be removed with a brush. Keep in mind that every wash reduces the water repellency of the fabric.

Conclusion

The possibility of using the motor boat "5M2" for fishing and recreation is ensured by 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 please its owners for a long time if it is properly cared for.
