Hello all,
On my 32-2 I have a 3 blade propeller. I keep having issues with it being fouled by sea grass. It happens when entering harbors where there are submerged bunches of loose grass. You can’t see it to avoid it. Reversing does not remove it. You need to get in the water with a utility knife and cut it off. I’m looking for a solution. Why is it wrapping up like that? Is there some kind of guard I can use to deflect the grass but not effect the thrust of the propeller?
Yesterday I had to use a lot of power to get into port with 12nmph on the nose. I was making 1.4nmph VMG
Help! Thank You
