prop

Okay I know the prop thing has been beaten to death on this site but... I am considering getting a martek folding prop and want to know if anyone would strongly recomend against it. I need a new prop as the one on the boat is the wrong size. (3 blade 16x12) I can't quite belly up to the cost of...

I am wondering if you guys can give me some advice on the right prop for an 1989 E38. Currently the boat has a 3 blade fixed prop I am guessing is around a 16 X 10 or 12. I very much want to go to a folding or feathering prop for reduced drag. My thoughts are that I would be best served with a 3...

I will be hauling my 1971 E-29 soon for bottom paint re-coat. I'd like to replace the prop (A-4 engine)-- to minimize reverse prop walk. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks, Ray Hughes "Capricious" Oceanside Harbor, CA.

Looking for advice on proper alignment of the strut that holds the prop shaft on a 1971 E32. Mine is bent to the starboard side and also appears to be canted "up" too much in the front. The strut appears to be made of bronze and molded into the hull. I'm considering heating it up and putting a...

After 2 1/2 months of full time restoration on my newly acquired 1981 28+, I took the boat to the Yard to paint the bottom (first time in 4years). Before the yard, I installed a new Universal M-18 (Z500 kubota diesel), aligned the engine/transmission and propshaft and the machinery functioned...

I am very tired of my boat's inability to back up in a straight line, and am giving serious thought to a folding or feathering prop. Do any of you 30+ owners have any experience with this? I talked at length to the marketers of Variprop/Varifold, and the Varifold two blade (they say) would...

Has anyone information about the Campbell Sailor prop used on an E27. Thanks Chris

Has anyone used the Indigo prop?? How was the performance on your boat?? Thanks, Chris

Walking around the local yard today I noticed a couple of boats that appeared to have a coating on the prop and shaft. Looks something like varnish. Is this some type of antifouling treatment? Anyone know of such a thing? Should the shaft and prop be coated with something? Dave G

I have a '75 E35 Mk II fitted with a Westerbeke W30 4 cylinder diesel, Paragon 1:1 transmission, and a three blade MaxProp feathering propellor. My problem is as follows. The boat came with the current drive configuration. When we hauled the boat last summer, we did a bang-up job cleaning and...

Am considering a 3 blade prop for my E-29 Automic 4, has anyone done this and did the performance increase. They get $275 dollars for it. Thank You Bobg

(3) Spinnakers 53'x28' appear to be in very good condition. Martec folding prop just rebuilt 16x16x1 in very good condition.

I have recently bought a 1971 E29 with an Atomic 4, max speed under power is 4 knots. Is anyone able to motor faster than that? What is the correct prop for this boat? Anyone have experience with Maxprop? Any help would be appreciated.

I have been talking with CDI about their prop for a Yanmar 1GM10 that we have in our E-27. It all souinds good and they guarantee satisfaction or will exchange it for another size or full refund. The question is has anyone use one of these? Am I wasting time? Our curent prop works fine but I...

I'm in the process of buying a 1973 E-32, and am considering replacing the old bronze 2-blade folding prop. It's out of the water and I haven't had the chance to test drive it, so I am not sure of the performance. Does anyone have any experience with CDI (Cruising Design, Inc.) props as a...

I am thinking strongly of moving my E35-2 to Flounder Bay on Fildagio Is.. The boat is currently moored at the Port of Everett. The problem is the length of the family slip which is now vacent. The finger is only 24 feet long so I will have to back into the slip. My boat currently has a...

I have an Ericson 32-200 with a Universal 23hp and I'm planning to change from a two blade fixed to a three blade Campbell Sailor. At first look I was going to use the Maxprop but after a $2000 discussion with the wife I think the $400 Cambell may be a better option. My reasons for changing are...

I own an 1989 E-34 and would like to get more power from my Universal 23hp. Does anyone have any ideas to share as far as using a larger prop?

Does anybody know the prop shaft size for an E-29 (Atomic 4) vintage 1973? I believe it is 3/4" but cannot confirm it with any of the boats original documentation. Thanks.

I am replacing the prop on my Ericson 29', Atomic 4 engine. Any ideas/suggestions on a make and model? Thanks.

I'm looking for a used fixed prop for my E-38,1986 32H.P. Universal diesel. I think a 16" diameter with a pitch of 13 or 14 & a 1" bore. Two or Three blade O.K.

Greetings to all! I have installed a new (rebuilt) diesel into my Ericson. I am currently looking for a used prop. As you know, finding the correct prop is somewhat touch and go. So, I am looking for a 14" RH, 2 or 3 bladed prop. 3/4" shaft. perhaps something around a 10 or 13 pitch. Any...

Hi - I've seen informaiton on the E35 where some owner said he had a 14" prop. Most A4 Props are 12X7. I'm wondering what is the largest Dia prop one can put on this hull and use the current shaft? I'm installing a M4-30 and with the 2:1 drive a 12" prop cannot be pitched even with a 3 blade...
