KiwiGrip is not available in clear. It is only available in white, light blue, cream, light gray, and black.

When the boat is out of the water for winter storage, it is indeed possible to back off the compression to relieve pressure on the bellows. Before launching the boat again in the spring, be sure to use new set screws when securing the stainless steel rotor.

@@PYIinc thank you very much that's a great help I will indeed put new set screws.

If applied with a smooth roller, the finish will be more of a sandpaper-like texture.

The Max-Prop is just a piece of metal under the water. You need to protect it with an anode just like you would any propeller. The Max-Prop has a zinc at the aft end to assist in protecting the propeller from corrosion. If you disconnected the shaft from the bonding system, you still may have stray current from the water around the boat; this may be more or less than before. You will need to check the consumption of anodes often to get a feeling for how they are consumed.

Yes, this is not a problem with the Max-Prop Easy. If you have a 16-degree bolt and rotate it out 1 1/2 turns, you will have a 13-degree blade angle setting. Each full rotation outward of a forward pitch bolt is a 2-degree change. So 1 1/2 is a 3-degree change. If you need more assistance, please contact us at 425-355-3669 or [email protected]

You will want to torque the set screws to approximately 6-foot pounds of torque for shafts 3/4" to 1-3/8" and 8-foot pounds of torque for shafts 1-1/2" to 3-3/4". Not tightening the set screws enough could cause the stainless steel rotor to slide forward.

The fenders are made from a polyester textile that is very soft on the hull of the boat. They were designed for the mega yacht market in the EU with that in mind to preserve the gel coat, fiberglass finish, paint, or wraps on their boats. The polyester textile does not retain salts or debris like a standard cloth cover, which will scratch the hull.

It is not necessary to apply thread lock to the pitch adjustment bolts or the set screws. The set screws thread in to a tapered thread, and lock as you tighten them. However, if you must, you can use blue Loctite.

Yes, you can compress the PSS Shaft Seal while the vessel is in the water.

We recommend replacing the rubber bellow every six years with a PSS Maintenance Kit. More info here: www.shaftseal.com/pss-maintenance-kit.html

We do not make a PSS Shaft Seal for that shaft and stern tube combination. I would recommend ordering a PSS Shaft Seal for a 7/8" shaft and 1.25" stern tube outside diameter. The rubber bellow will stretch over to fit onto your 1.3" stern tube.

Yes, apply thread lock on both set screws during initial compression.

I installed a double split collar on the shaft to prevent the rotor from sliding back and losing compression.

Depending on how thick you apply KiwiGrip, 1L will cover 6.1 square meters, and 4L will cover 24.3 square meters.

Hello Bruno. After reviewing the Volvo shaft seal installation manual, I was not able to determine any notice that it cannot be used with the flexible coupling. I did, however, see that it requires the shaft to be centered in the tube. The flexible coupling should not change the alignment of the shaft in the tube. If you would like to reach out to me directly to discuss this, please give PYI Inc. a call. -Miles

I have to agree with this comment. Too many manufacturers who are trying to promote their products rely on an individual talking and that is it. A much better video would be showing the actual various steps, even if it were done on a model representing the various components rather than a real world application.

We have KiwiGrip in stock and can be purchased directly from us. store.pyiinc.com/products/kiwigrip-non-skid-paint?variant=3436103937

Nothing is perfect for all circumstances and not all boats have room for a full size boat hook. I would rather find myself with this in strong winds and currents than with nothing.

If it's leaking at rest, you will want to clean the two mating surfaces with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to clean out any debris causing the water leak. If your PSS leaks while underway, you will want to add more compression. About a 1/4" should do.
