My surveyor pointed out that if you place a shaft zinc FORWARD of the cutlass bearing, coupler failure will NOT result in a big hole in your boat. I see them AFT all the time walking boatyards after haulout.. Nate On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 6:40 PM, Gary Russell via CnC-List <

Stus-List Folding Prop won't open - prop size.

I have a 2 blade MaxProp which feathers rather than folds, but I also had a vibration problem. My mechanic suggested that the length of shaft from the strut to the prop was to long. He extended the key slot at the front of the shaft by about 2" and drilled new dimples for the set screws. It got

Re: Stus-List Folding Prop won't open

Touche's slip is to port when approaching. I approach slowly about a half boat length off the piling line. I've already looked at the windexes of the stationary boats to determine the wind. I've looked at the water on the pilings for any current. When Touche's shrouds are about center of the

Re: Stus-List Folding Prop won't open

FWIW, I heard it explained that propwalk originates because the shaft is at an angle to horizontal. The more angle the more prop walk. Also, more surface area of the prop causes more prop walk. Sail drives have the least prop walk because their shaft is horizontal, not at an angle. Power boats

I had issues with my 2 blade Martec though not as bad as you describe. I would open with a clunk, sometimes stick when opening, and have some bad vibrations. A surveyor informed me it should be be rebuilt, which is in the works. I replaced it with a 3 blade Campbell Sailer prop, which I'm happy

Re: Stus-List Folding Prop won't open

This happened to me also. Your prop is closing too tightly. There needs to be some space between the blades when they close. The edges at the pin have worn and need to have material added so that the blades do not fold completely. More than likely the opposite is also occurring where the blades

Re: Stus-List Folding Prop won't open

We've lived with a Martel two bladed folding prop forever. Occasionally one blade will not open but putting it in reverse and back into forward has always worked for us. Each time we haul out (once every two or three years here in the Northwest) we remove the blades and thoroughly clean and

Hey guys, with all of the discussion on props it reminded me that I'm having an issue with my 2 blade folding prop. Pretty sure it's the Martec that you all are mentioning. I continue to have issues with one blade not opening after we've been out sailing. Once we drop the sails and go to engage
