We have a yanmar 2GM20F engine with a 7/8 inch shaft.
we are at the RHYC
thanks for the anode advice- After reading Dennis’ comments re installing shaft
zincs I am hanging my head in shame! I did not do that right- though I do think
there is more of an issue be it our boat or not- i will look at the Campbell
sailors and flex -o- fold- I am scared what this will cost me- oh well my kid
can pay his own way through university in the future!

Joanne,
What is the shaft size and which engine do you have?
I see you are from Hamilton, we are in Burlington – where do you keep your
boat? Perception is at Newport in the summer and 50 Point for the winter .....
we use a magnesium anode (better protection in fresh water than a normal zinc
anode) and it gets chewed pretty badly after just 1 season ... trying to find
the cause but no luck so far – I’d rather replace the anode than our prop
though!
I might look at a Campbell sailor 3 blade, found it better than the 2 blade
when we put it on, felt like less drag, less prop walk and more power when we
needed it ... but like the Flex-o-fold even better.

Subject: Stus-List Prop pitch advice needed
Hello all
I have been watching the list for a while but never contributed until now.
Couple years ago we bought a 1980 C&C 30 MKI from the original owner. wonderful
wonderful boat! This was our first boat and things have been a bit daunting at
times- but I cant tell you how much the list helps.
When we pulled her this year we had some serious prop corrosion issues. We are
still trying to assess the cause (anode was replaced last spring but perhaps I
didn't get good contact)but regardless we will need to replace the prop. It is
a 15 inch radius 2 blade fixed but the erosion is such that I cannot read the
pitch- how do I figure this out?
Any suggestions as to suppliers as well?- we will likely stick with the 2 blade
fixed. has any one had experience with the urethane perfect pitch props?
Thanks in advance
