I DESTROYED My Boat's Propeller and Learned a Valuable Lesson

We have a lot of boat projects going on during this boat build. We are building aluminum railings, making a stainless housing for our windlass which means a bunch of polishing and we are trying to keep out dinghies running - except I keep destroying propellers.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

We hope you follow along so you can see where we go with her. She is alot of work but we love her.

[@RustyClam]

I love the new winch. I would have liked to see how the top was made. Very entertaining channel.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Thanks! It was an immense amount of work. I unfortunately do not have the equipment to bend 1/4" stainless at my shop so I has to get some help bending that top plate. I brought it to a shop called associated sheet metal and they were able to bump it in their roller to make the curve. It turned out great!

[@randbaldwin]

Did you not use any polishing compound? It really doesn't take that long to polish stainless if you you use the right grit.

[@OnboardTangaroa]

No polishing compound. Just sanding disc's on a buffer in stages. 50, 80, 120, 220, 400, 800, 1200, 1500, 2000. The 50 through 220 stages were the longest as the metal was a mill finish so needed a lot of roughing in to make smooth. That was the hard part.

Jance what books on tape do you listen to.???????????

[@OnboardTangaroa]

Hey there. Sorry I didn't write back right away. Blaine left this comment for me and I've been editing the video that comes out today. I listen to murder mysteries which is a but crazy after being a police officer for 20 years. James Patterson...Kathy Reichs...etc. I also enjoy Clive Cussler and listen to these with Blaine!
