Thanks Alan, I have managed to retrieve the Propeller & numbers too. I have contacted Chris at Bob Knowles Marine for Enfield's & organising the replacement as we speak. Greannemia

Propellor Information Needed Guys; Does anyone know the 'Diameter and Pitch' for the Ford inboard engine - Enfield Z Drive, I understand the information maybe be stamped on propeller on the hub or behind the cone but the Propellor is very corroded. It is a Left Handed Prop, I also hear there are more than one spline size [12 or 13]. Any ideas let me know. GreanneMia

Thanks for the varied reports Bizzard, I have the Fomoco Carb fitted and running a dream since the overhaul yesterday as I've been out on the water again this morning. It has made all the difference, quietened the engine & sounds much smoother too. I'm going to purchase either refurb'd or new of still available, any ideas guys.

Hey Tony/Rick, Thanks for the information. I've had a mechanic on-board today and hopefully sorted all the fuel issues, he managed to also strip the Carb finding a very worn/sticking needle valve, sticking float & a blockage in the fuel line too compounding the problems further. The engine is now running very smoothly at the moment, long may that continue. The service is now complete with plans to change to Electronic Ignition may assist - any ideas? Brendan

Thanks for the tips Tony & Alan, I'll try the metal mesh plan.

The motor is a Ford Petrol inboard, there isn't a filter currently I'm worried of a back-fire sending a flame airbourne with all that dry wood surrounding it will give me grey hair.

Thanks for everyone for their support I never thought especially given the age of the boat it was not expected. Once I've sorted some new and hopefully minor gremlins with the motor conking-out. I took it for a test run 60-90mins and since parking-up I have developed a lack of smooth running, twice recently I hit the canal to get some sailing experience & the motor came to a halt on low rev's or when changing direction engaging 'Rev/Forward' the motor just losses its tick-over stalling the engine. Does anyone know where I can buy an 'Air Filter' for my boat, there should be a washable sponge-like filter fitted - I'm told was a 'Speedwell-filter' but unable to source on the internet or local motor stores? Thanks again.

Hi Alan, Thanks for the response, I have looked at the pull linkage and sprayed with 'WD40' to help release the pin that appears stuck well and truly solid for the next trip to the boat in the hope it's given itself up [lol], otherwise I'll have to encourage with plyers or the like. What does IIRC mean?

Hi Alan, Thanks for the speedy response, does this pin have a cable attached which is connected through to a handle inside the wheelhouse located next to the choke cable? There are 3 items located at this point, Blinge Pump; Choke and Another which looks like it's connected to an aluminium plate on the Transom [inboard] Please confirm and many thanks, B

Hi Dutch, I too have downloaded the Manual you forwarded previously, although I was a Tool Maker [Precision Engineering] I'm unable to follow the text accurately enough to workout the instructions let alone expand the diagrams larger enough to register the numbers reflected accordingly. Thank you for your assistance & support. Maybe someone out there can help us both. B

I have recently purchased a Nauticus 27' and trying to refresh the interior and motor especially, I am unable to lift the Leg out of the water to examine the prop, etc. Can anyone explain in simple terms now to lift it. I have noted several comments and unable to spot the pins required removing prior to the lift cogs being free to turn. Many thanks for your help...
