Good advise, almost lost one once. Only the cotter pin was holding the nut on. Totally loose. I bought one after that lol

Thanks. I did my own and the rudder had to come off for me to pull the shaft. If you have a yard with the right tool (strut pro tool) I would get them todo it. But they must have the right tool and not a slide hammer

How do you figure the torque value?

With a torque wrench or by feel.

@@UpAndRunning-xz6er I guess I should have been more specific. How would you find the value of what the spec should be? The answers on line are all over the place.

@@sindikit This spells it out pretty well. stevedmarineconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Prop-Nuts-Letters.pdf

Thanks

Ha pretty funny. In this case it was hydro. They thought the only way to route overhead hydro lines was to ruin a great anchorage and put a submarine cable right down the middle. They posted signs “do not anchor” submarine cable. Hence no anchor used at this one.

I have ordered a new prop. We have a stuffing box and that has been fine. I thought I would see if the new prop fixes the low rpm vibration. If it doesn’t, realign the engine and check the engine mounts. If it still doesn’t solve the issue pull the shaft next year and have it checked and do the cutlass bearing. What do you think?

@@Aboardsecondwind That sounds like the right oder. From the looks of the prop damage, I would think that the prop shaft would be the issue. It would need to be removed and made straight. (True). But, you're correct, it could also be that the engine mounts are not aligned properly.

​@@Aboardsecondwind To check prop shaft and bearings just run the motor and read side play.

It’s like I stole it from one of the knights of the round table. Lol

I am glad I eventually remembered to put the nut on. Almost forgot. lol

Wanie bay is in Georgian bay Canada at twelve mile bay. ( second bay on your right as you enter twelve mile bay. Great little spot with miles for dinghy exploration

There are several different anchorages in the video. You are right about a 1/4 of the way into the video is the bad river. Did you spot any other ones?

I thought I saw a bit of wreck island. And of course the pool in baie fine.

@@magdakaniewski oh you are good the pool is there, but no wreck island. Any guesses of the opening anchorage ?

I just realized the opening shot is pretty short. Guess is western islands since no anchor. Only stern and bow lines.

@@magdakaniewski nailed it. Lol

The sails are great and I can’t say enough about the company. They are designed in Canada and made in China. I had an issue with the main sail in that the tack and head webbing was too thick for the access groove in my furling mast. I was worried about the dealing with the company remotely. They were amazing, never made me feel like it wasn’t going to be fixed. They let me use the sail for the season and replaced it with a new sail. They handled all the costs of shipping. Great company great experience. They will have all my future business. The sails are performing great.

We are at beacon bay. Where are you?

secondwind we are in Beacon bay too, SV: Wolfhelm. We are skipping this season due to COVID but will be back in next year.

Ralph schroeder awesome we will have to meet you guys.

Precision sails has the measurements but you will also be required to measure your old sails and rigging. You can get the measurement form from their web site. It takes about an hour or so. The big news in an upcoming video was that the main sail did not fit. Our main is furling and the groove for the sail to slide into is quite narrow. The sail they made had a good amount of wedding, far stronger than our original sail. The problem was this didn't fit into our groove freely. During all of my correspondence with precision sails they never gave me any reason to worry that the problem wouldn't be corrected. They said right from the beginning that they would make me a new sail that fit exactly. These problems are always a concern when dealing with a new company over the internet. These guys are the best company I have ever dealt with. They covered all the shipping both ways, let me use the first sail they sent for the season and shipped a new main sail this fall. Great service, really the best I have ever had. I can't say enough about them. Send me your email address and I can tell you about price.

secondwind please email [email protected] Thank you for the info. Sails are in our near future (2001 H410)
