Hempel Silic One Propeller Kit - good but you get a screaming prop

[@yannisfatouros4875]

Hi Tino, If you mean the sound problem with propela when cruising is nothing to worry. I had the same on my Bavaria 32. This sharp noise is only between 1600rpm to 2100rpm if i recall corect. On cruising speed over 2100 it stops comletly. I spoke with different Bavaria boat owners and had face simillar problem. I understood it had something to do with the side tips of prop that becouse of too much colour build up, it slightly change the balanced operstion and vibration of prop. Nothing to worry though. Try sand down the side tips of each blade with less colour and make sure the cone is tight screwed on. It will go away. Have nice sailings, i like your videos!

Yes, I have the exact same problem at same RPM to deal with when I next haul our B35-E. I thought perhaps it could be gears in the transmission.

The boat is looking good to go! Good attention to detail here.

Nice episode, well done 👍

[@johnnyandersson5622]

Your keel joint should not move at all so it's strange that any kind of material give away, maybe you should check the keel bolts and the structual parts of the hull. Looking forward to a little sail action on your channel soon. :)

I have been using the propeller hempel kit since last summer and the same sound appeared, only when running and at a certain rpm range. I suspect that the sound is due to the friction of the silicone with another part while the propeller rotates

[@Scramasax]

Propellers are polished even on ships to improve the effect and so improve the economy. I think you can try to have a better smoother finnish on the propeller blades, if you sand down the surface between layers. I know Hempel does not instruct this, but an uneven surface like that on a propeller disturbs the effect and is causing the noise. I would apply the paint by spray, being careful not to have an uneven surface, if I was trying that paint. For now I'm more than happy with the Hempel spray can prop antifouling. Good enough for one season. ;-)

The Trident Sani Shield Sanitation hose's legendary odor free performance is the best on the market. - no more cleaning required.

Nice video Tino, just catching up, we have had a busy summer

[@twiper]

Thanks :) - hoping everything is going well, looking forward to hear what is happening to Aurora

[@SailingAurora]

@@twiper Hi Tino, errrm not sure you should be looking forward to that :) Our boat is out of commission for the season, all coming up on the channel

[@hheinsius]

Tono: Could you also use Hempel silic one on the aluminimum drive? I think so!

[@twiper]

Yes the Silic One is non copper based so it is safe to use on the sail drive. The only problem is you have to sail at high'ish speed to clean the drive, the Hempel alusafe is on the other hand like normal antifouling there is slowly peeling off over the season.

Hello friend it's all good. I have water in the bilge I think it comes from the double hull. do you know how to get it out?

[@twiper]

When water enters the double hull you can get it out by sailing and heel to the side, when the water splashes out you can suck it up in the bilge

Hej. Putter du Gori 22 på inden du vasker dækket? Jeg har vasket mit i sæbespåner og tænker at putte Gori 22 efterfølgende? Hvordan bliver farven på teaket bagefter?

[@twiper]

Jeg plejer som regel at påføre gori 22 på rimeligt rent teak og hvis man anvender transparent gori 22 vil teaken forblive den samme farve som før. Teak træ bliver naturligt gråt efter noget tid, den grå farve er grundet træet beskytter sig selv mod UV strålingen fra solen. Jeg har påført gori 22 forår og efterår men kan se at det kun er nødvendigt at påføre en gang om året og så ellers bare vaske teak træet med sæbevand over sommeren.

how many years did the zsilicon prop paint last?

[@twiper]

I just applied it one time and it lasted to the day I sold the boat. Ryan and Sophie sailing has painted the whole bottom with silic one and have recently made an update video, seems like the product works great.

Hi Tino, in one of your videos you said you bought something from a website but I am not able to find it anymore. Could you please tell me the name of that website ? Thank you.

[@twiper]

Do you know what video ?

[@pietrosassi2010]

@@twiper sorry but I watched several videos from you. I cannot remember which one

[@bootrenovatie4526]

Tino, you can solve the singing of the prop bij sanding sharp edges to the prop. This is not an easy job. Consult an expert

[@twiper]

Ok thanks for the info :)
