how to stop the prop falling off!?
      01/06/2008 18:38

Have just had to CUT my very expensive Gori prop off my propshaft as neither I nor the yard could remove it the conventional way (after several attemts over several weeks).

So, I have dug out the original (still gleaming) fixed prop, that has never been used, and am planning to fit that whilst we check out OTHER folding props. BUT I can't see how the prop will stay on with just one nut ane one cone shaped anode on the end - even when they are loctited. Stupid question I know but we've had a folding prop for so long......

For those who are interested, the reason for removing the Goriprop was that Gori in Denmark refused to sell me any spares & insisted I remove it & send it back to Denmark for them to check it out - even after I told them it was impossible and that we woulmd have to cut it off if they didn't. Yes, I'm still crying!

Here's to tall ships
Here's to small ships
Here's to all the ships on the sea
But the best ships are friendships
Here's to you & me
