prop/shaft removal underwater

pulling star board prop and shaft on a 34' searay

[@SalsaSippin_]

I've been a diver for 4 years, and it's rare to have a prop pull go this smooth. Excellent job, the tapping made all the difference. That prop puller is f****** sick!

[@warnerdiving]

Thanks yeah you wanna tap on it to give some vibration helps pop it off 👍🏻👍🏻

[@martinc6987]

thats the third video I watch about removing a prop,and you are the only guy actually using leverage and laws of physics/engineering to do the job. Its fast and easy ! Nicely done .

[@grimblegromblethegnome]

This is one of the more fascinating videos I've seen. You ever drop tools and have to dive down to the bottom to get them? The murkiness of that water is unsettling haha.

[@warnerdiving]

Thanks man yeah I’ve dropped tools occasionally. I’ve even done it in some of my other videos haha 😂

RESPECT FOR PROFESSIONALLY DONE WORK!!!

[@mchaves7663]

Fantastic coordination. Certainly not the first time. Well done

[@doyleadams3390]

Nice work tuff job good skillz I would hire you any day bud keep up the good work

[@JayMoneyRadio]

We are going to get along great nice work

[@ero3112]

Thx for sharing. Something New for me

[@a2022z2]

Excellent work. Have a question. Every time they have pulled a propeller on the hard they use heat to make it pop. Under the water it seems the propeller comes off a tad easier. Is that true?

[@TimmyTimmyS]

Where did you get the prop puller from?

[@GustavoSantos-uh5yl]

Have you ever fixed or cleaned big propellers? I want to know how it is the feeling about being in front of. Did you feel fear? How to deal with it? How it was your first time in this job? It gives me chills only imagining!

[@warnerdiving]

When I first started it was a little creepy being under there. But after 20 years of doing this work I’ve gotten used to it 👍🏻

[@sk8083r]

Awesome job man!

[@warnerdiving]

Thanks!

[@alexandreboudet491]

Nice job ! Good and fast 💪

[@mickcy9954]

Should use WD40, quick spray on the nut and threads, leave it to soak, job done !

[@mikeyoung4427]

THE SCRATCHING AT 8:34 OH MY GOD NOOO MY EARSSSS

[@warnerdiving]

😅😅😅

[@ggsmith48906]

That's pretty impressive! I would think those heavy tools would take you straight to the bottom! LOL And if it were me, I most certainly would have lost the nut or the shaft key... And time-wise, in comparison, it took me three hours to remove the stuck rear rotor on my Dodge Caravan...working in the garage, on dry land, without the burden of scuba gear...lol

[@warnerdiving]

Thanks! What you don’t see in the video is my feet kicking furiously to stay afloat 😁😅 Luckily this job went super smooth and made for a great video, I’ve done others that took a lot longer 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jonny-b4954]

@@warnerdiving Bet you had sore thighs for a couple days haha was this done like this simply for necessity? No place to dock at? Interesting video.

[@warnerdiving]

@jonny-b I do these for a local mechanic I guess he needs the shaft out of the way to work on the transmission. Doing it in the water saved the haul out fees plus lay days in the ship yard. The shaft was out for 2 weeks

[@danieljefford6497]

Well that just saved me a dry dock

[@djlowtek]

OH man wearing headphones with that 8:29 metal on metal scraping gahhhh

[@JustJohn505]

is scuba gear always needed or do you think you can do it with a snorkel?

[@warnerdiving]

I mean it could be done but it would take a lot longer

[@Spnanbargal]

Wow nice video

Another successful day in the Bayside!

Shaft removal what was used to plug shaft hole? Any issues with packing.

[@warnerdiving]

Plugged from both sides with wooden bungs

[@junaidashraf3888]

Good work,but all tools must with you,go up down again and again

[@JK360noscope]

This makes me want to buy me a full suit for my own maintenance needs...

[@dionmorrow5271]

Great video. Why did they need removed?

[@warnerdiving]

Mechanic needed the shaft out to work on the engine 👍🏻

[@dionmorrow5271]

Oh ok cool. Gonna learn how to dive one day, but got to learn how to swim first lol. Want to see great barrier reef one day

[@tarcisiopinto7897]

Dude do you use air compressor to breathe?

[@warnerdiving]

Yeah I have a compressor mounted into the skiff I work out of it runs off of (4) 6 volt batteries

[@HereFishing]

Can the bearings be replaced while under water like this?

[@warnerdiving]

Yes 👍🏻

[@andreasnik]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@tarekferraz9400]

Good

[@greghart9142]

What materail do you use for the plug

[@warnerdiving]

It was a wood bung. I wrapped a cloth around it because the one I had was a little too small. Also the mechanic plugged it from the inside, not sure what he used 👍🏻

[@greghart9142]

@@warnerdiving thank you so much. Going to repair it today

[@oddjobbob8742]

Is your prop puller made using a turnbuckle? The threaded end near the prop, you can sort of see it at 3:13

[@brandonwilks5019]

I wonder if a prop removal is the equivalent of a boot on a car.......

[@Yanto-Kun-JP]

o.O why not do that on land/dock? after remove the shaft, engine room will get flood :(

[@warnerdiving]

The openings are plugged up from both sides to keep the water out. Cost a lot less to do it in the slip otherwise would have to pay for a haul out and lay days in the shipyard. Shaft was out for 2 weeks so the mechanic could work on the engine 👍🏻👍🏻

[@brandonlatif6512]

Is that a 330?

[@wilnstevenson5957]

Excellent video, job went nicely. Is the scissor puller your favorite? Vs the C-Clamp, Walter (u-shaped & solid plates with long bolts), or other pullers?

[@warnerdiving]

I like using the algonac (scissor puller) because it’s quick and easy to use but the plate puller is a better puller it’s stronger and pulls straight. The algonac only works for 3 blade props. 4 blade props usually don’t have enough clearance between the blades

[@wilnstevenson5957]

@@warnerdiving Thanks, great info ! I forgot to ask about one other puller, the 'Prop Knocker'. Have you tried that? I'm going to buy a prop puller for my boat (KK39) and appreciate your experienced advice. I realize the prop knocker will fit only one size shaft.

[@warnerdiving]

I’ve never heard of the prop knocker so I looked it up. not sure how well it would work. But for the price of one wouldn’t be much loss if you tried it out and it didn’t work. Looks like it uses vibration to unseat the prop, which I usually do when the puller is under load (tap the hub with a hammer)

[@wilnstevenson5957]

@@warnerdiving Some swear by them, say they work every time; others say whacking the end of the shaft will damage the transmission output/thrust bearings. Dunno.

[@livenfree]

What was wrong with it it?

[@warnerdiving]

Nothing the mechanic needed it out to work on the transmission 👍🏻

Why waste your time, or pay $800 if you have to use the hoist. Just have a diver do it for a few hundred dollars.
