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
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
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
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
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
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
