campbell sailer cost me plenty
I just purchased a Cambell sailer from Norm at West by North. Here's what happened: I gave Norm all details about boat and performance, including what the factory recomended. Norm said the factory was wrong and that I needed a certain pitch. Before giving the go ahead I asked about what if it was the wrong pitch and he said send it back for repitching. He said don't worry we do lots of your boat. Well it was off by 2-3 inches of pitch. I sent the prop back with all the details and called Norm again telling him what the factory recomended. He ignored the factory choice again, took off only 2 inches of pitch and sent it back.He charged me for repitching and express freight again.I still have the wrong pitch. I can't reach maximum rated rpm I'm out $430 for the prop and over $275 in shipping.Norm also gave me a lame explanation about how the motor wouldn't smoke if I would just throttle back a little.I complained that this was his mistake, his choice of pitch, he ignored the factory specs. Next time I wont be buying from West by North or anyone named Norm in another country.Buy local and made in the USA.Oh yeah, I think the prop is fine, just the wrong one.
