[jerry]

i have a new gori three blade folding prop. Used it about 8 times. One of the blades fell off. Any one ever had this particular problem? How was it resolved??

Contact the mfg.

Jerry:I would suggest that you contact the mfg. I do not know if this has to do with you or the group that installed it, but seems like it should be covered by the mfg warranty.

I lost a blade

pulling into Grand Caymans in the middle of the night. I had to change out the prop because the blade was the same color as the coral and no amount of searching revealed it. I sent the prop back to Sweden (I think)and they said it was worn out and tried to sell me a new one. It was less than 4 years old, had about 4 thousand miles on it and only 'folded' (backed) a couple hundred times or so. I bought a MaxProp. The problem with Goris' dropping blades is because of the double set screw locking system. Leave one out or don't tighten one and the prop is done, and so is the boat. It is a good thing to have a 'collision bow'.
