Thank again for all your replies, i have straighten it the best i can but will get a thicker propeller put on once i can find out about the size and pitch thanks colin
-
Thank all for your help, i think i will replace the propeller with a thicker grade, but not sure how to get it off while in the water. there seems to be a cone shape cover on the spline and i cannot see the split pin. any ideas would be much appreciated Thanks Colin

i have a isuzu 42 Liverpool 2008 boat, and for the second time in 8 months i have bent the propeller on something below the water line. there was no big bang just a sound of wood hitting the blade. could this be a sign of a bad designed or thin propeller, or just bad luck. i have straightened the best i can, the last one cost £800 to replace. your thoughts please. Colin

Hi all Dose anyone know where i can buy a thermostate from, and could a car thermostate fit my engine. Thanks Colin.

i agree, my volt meter is not working properly.

Just found out from engine plus that tick over should be about 850 revs.
-
I think your wright it may be better to adjust by ear in case the rev meter is incorrect.Thanks Colin

It on;ly rattles when i slow down from a 1000 revs to 500 revs to pass boats and only for a split second still in gear, its more of a shake than a rattle

Thanks all for your comments I’m going on the thames and could take water on through the vent so I was thinking of covering it and venting into the boat until I return to the canals later Colin.

Thanks very much for your help. The 4107 cost £2500 to be reconditioned and runs like a pig blowing out diesel onto the water and blue smoke and sounds like a bag of spanners.

3 litres per3 hours

Can anyone tell how diesel can find its way into a recondition perkins engine sump. The lift and fuel pump have both been changed.

Hi All. I have just read about a water proof primer from tool station at £25 per 5 litres also a black antifoul for the top coat. I am going to paint the hull. I think the paint is by Flag. I don’t want to use Bitchaman on the hull, as it comes off so quick. Does anyone have any thoughts? Colin

Thanks all, looks like i have some investigating to do.

Hi all. I normally load my van up the night before I drive to the boat so I can get away before the traffic starts, but just lately my alarm wont work so I have to load up on the day which means I get away late. If I move the van away from my house the alarm works properly and sometimes it woks on my drive to. Has anyone got any ideas. Thanks Colin
