  1. Yes I make you right but takes 7/8 weeks to cast a new and 4 weeks to repair so now I’ll have a spare after one on boat now repaired 👍🖖
  2. Thank you but boat in water I changed it from 21”-18 pitch to 21”-21 pitch 18 months ago heating prop on slipway and replaced whilst in the water but that got badly bent blades so was going to try home made puller to drop it off again in the water I had a date 5th March to haul out but day came and went waited for new date but very allusive so just thought give it a go at least until new date comes up but have to be after Hip Op now
  3. Thank you I thought it was 2 1/2” from memory but drilling back plate it looked small 🤞🏼It’ll be about right
  4. I’m guessing for 1”1/2 shaft all going to be about the same amount of meat to where the blade begins
  5. That’s what we do Shower pipe out of porthole and galley tap through side hatch
  6. Thank you all take off for engine was from diesel heater off take so when tank lowish I guess slopping fuel meant picking up air now taken from correct off take found smaller pipe inside take off pipe bit of a giveaway Thank you all for comments
  7. Anybody sitting near a 3 blade propeller 1”1/2 bore and can measure the diameter of the boss boat side I’m making a puller and need to know distance from shaft centre to outside boss for threaded studding have new prop but on boat in Penkridge I’m in Canterbury waiting hip op lost the fag packet with dimensions on thank you
  8. My old girl been working fine after tappets adjusted by lad fro Walsh’s on the Bridgewater did Leeds and back now on Staffs and Worcester Engine slowed and shut down cruised to side to investigate bled to pump top couple seconds for air to clear Ok changed water separating filters in the big double changeover for new changed other fuel filter diesel clean and no water started up was fine went past a few boats on tick over throttled up and engine missing skittering backed off throttle seems ok as long as not too much throttle Any ideas please hoping not amal lift pump
  9. Thanks for that I think I’ll go through the insurance see if it’s covered going to cost a bit to get it out to remove he. I had it re modelled to 21 pitch Cowroast marina hauled it up and got the prop of and I replaced in the water used a Nordloc washer Half locking nut and half nyloc nut kept checking every day for a week then as and when hatch opened still tight
  10. Happened behind the poachers pocket on the gollie last year Knocked it out with my Maul Axe Was a log
  11. Yes great company did you walk through the workshop to the loo Amazing place like the TARDIS countless machines never seen the like of
  12. It’s a PRM D500 as originally wanted Hydraulic Bow thruster
  13. How much red ex do you use I say 300 litres
  14. I got the prop from Jonathan at Norris and had it re worked there as I will probably do again I just wondered if having a smaller gap would stop stuff getting trapped and damaging the blades also 1 thought if I go longer blades I can have less pitch I dunno just wondering I wish they were still in Isleworth as easier to get to without a car With the damage slightly less speed but when reversing boat goes a lot more to the port side luckily I had built in a bow thruster when ordered the shell Max is ok tickover very slow almost stops but gets a bit of Patricroft smog with low revs so tent to up em a bit just yell sorry Gardner on min steerage
