Nope, no story, that's how she came, severely neglected and left to rot and die in the mangroves of the Matanzas Pass back bay......one chunk of blade did pop off while I was initially decrusting her, which was a monumental task, being how said bay happens to be worst place Ever , according to whatever magazine, for collecting growth, and fast.......she had about three inches varied , I still have yet to ever even get the keel loose and down, the cable is ten years old and seems OK but she is really stuck......I haven't ever had her hauled yet, just kedged aground a few times to help with decrusting......

Justin, All of the Corvettes that still have the Atomic four have a 7/8” shaft. Here is a link to the association if you don’t already know about them, you might even be able to get a used prop off of a member. http://www.corvettesailboatassociation.com/ BTW, there has got to be a story behind the missing blades, are you going to tell or keep us all in suspense?

There is 1/3 of a blade , 1/4 of a blade , and 2/3 of a blade, what does that make, an eggbeater ?? ;) On Apr 21, 2016 3:09 PM, "Russ & Melody via CnC-List" <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Justin, My original A4 shaft size was 7/8". I up-sized to 1" with the changed to diesel using the same old stuffing box & strut (with new C/bearing). OTOH, a two blade prop is more efficient and a single blade is even more efficient than two. :) Cheers, Russ *Sweet *35 mk-1 1972 At 10:55 AM 21/04/2016, you wrote: Can anyone verify for me what the shaft size would be, possibly 7/8 ?? It's direct drive of course.... I need to know so I can survey my options for a used prop, my 3 blade is missing blades and needs replacement.... _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
