propeller

Hi All! Recently purchased a C-30 and will be bringing her from Lake Ontario to Lake Champlain via the Oswego > Erie > Hudson > Champlain canal systems soon... She is a '77 model with an Atomic4 engine. A beautifully cared for boat... super excited. In our planning, I have been thinking that I...

Hello mates. I am in the process of removing my propeller. I also want to replace my Shaft Bearing (Cutlass Bearing). Does anyone have dimensions of the bearing. (1980 Hunter 33) Also has anyone removed the shaft's strut before? If so my next question is, is it difficult getting the shaft...

I have, I believe, the original fixed prop off my 1978 Yamaha 33. Some of the stamped numbers make sense, like D380 for the diameter in mm and P250 for the pitch. The one I need help on is what looks like F8-529E. See attached photo. Any ideas what it means? Thanks!

I’ve got a 2006 Catalina 36 MKII which has a folding prop, on the smaller side. I get about 5.5knots under motor which isn’t cutting it for me. Can anyone recommend the ideal prop size and model for my boat? I would love to be averaging 8 knots under motor. Thanks in advance.

Hello my fellow sailors. My husband and I are new owners of a Catalina 310 and the last two times we have gone to anchor our anchor line has gone between the keel and propeller and wrapped around the propeller requiring us to manually go under the boat and untangle / cut the line. Both times we...

I have a 1979 Hunter 30 with the original YSM12. The 3-bladed prop on it is badly corroded and needs to be replaced. I have not actually driven this boat under power, since the engine wasn't running when I got it. I should have gotten my diver to look for size numbers on it, but I didn't think...

Hello folks, We have a new-to-us 2002 386. Under sail, we lose a full knot when the prop is locked. When left to spin, we are far faster. So, what I want to ask is: Does anyone else record this outcome? My owner's manual does not tell me if it should be locked or free, or am I missing...

Hi, I just got a 1989 Beneteau Oceanis 350. It is still on the hard for fixing up. The old propeller is gone and the owner sent me a new prop 16L12 RH (from New England Propeller Inc.) as part of the purchase. The boatyard fixing my boat installed a 15L12 prop for the boat. Question: 1...

I am going to replace the three-blade fixed propeller on my Catalina 36 (1999) with a feathering three-blade Max-Prop this winter. The yard doing the work and the Max-Prop distributor, PYI, have been really helpful in sizing and advice. One suggestion confused me, and I want your feedback...

I just thought I'd chime in to report my recent experience upgrading my C30 from the original two-blade prop to a Martec folding prop. Since buying this boat November 2015, I have always been a little put out by the low top speed under motor. It took 9 months, but I finally figured out that the...

Has anyone had any luck installing a guard around their propeller? I have a 1979 28 and we catch a lot of sunken lobster trap lines. In lieu of cutting the lines, we'd like to try to install a guard around the propeller so that we don't get tangled. Looking for brands and reviews. Thanks.

1981 Hunter 33, Yanmar 2GM. can't make RPM's over 1800???? Black smoke too. Always been this way. Clean bottom & gear. Motor makes 3600 RPM out of gear. The obvious thought____Oversize propeller one way or another diameter or pitch or both... I have made many Inquiries on-line, with propeller...
