What did they charge you for that prop?

Robin,

I do remember the original fixed blades prop of my 33 mk II with original 
Yanmar 2gmf was 16", will have to check for the pitch but I think it is 12. I 
will be back home in two days to verify that.

I ordered a Flexofold 3 blades and they recommended 15" /9". The blade area is 
larger and I think it is too much prop for my boat, I can't push the engine 
over 2800. But it is a good prop and I deal with it.

It's hard to get info about the size and pitch specs. However, I found a

my boat (CNC 33/2), engine and transmission. Does this sound right?

Any comments?

Once it is in the water it is hard to tell unless you can dive on it.
I bought a used 2 blade prop recently that is geared so that the halves are 
supposed to open evenly. The pins are so worn in the prop body that the gear 
teeth can jump one another and it gets stuck so that one blade does not open 
all the way. In my case the prop needs to be re-built.
The short answer is that anything that causes one blade to stick will cause the 
problem you describe.
There are other possibilities, but that is the easiest to check.

I have just purchased a C&C 33 mark 2 with a 2GMF engine. It has a 
clamshell-type folding propeller that, once in gear, is causing significant 
vibration above idle speed. What could be causing this?

Mike,

The 3 blades Flexofold, 15" / 11" was 1 520 US $ two years ago, including the 
50$ freight charge. Plus the 

It replaced an original Martec fixed blades that was 16" / 10" pitch.

Re: Stus-List Propeller - flexofold

[Bruno Lachance via CnC-List]

Yes, compared to the old fixed 2 blades. But maybe that old prop needed to be 
rebalanced, who knows. My prop shaft is aligned with the keel. I believe the 3 
blades makes a difference there. There is always a blade that has less 
turbulence from the keel. At least that is was I found as an explanation on the 
Web and it makes sense to me. But I don't have enough experience with different 
setup to really make a good comparison here.

Last year I decided to replace the cutless bearing and install a PSS. I ended 
up cutting the old shaft, replace it with an Aqualloy one and add a new Buck 
Algonquin split coupling. I also removed carefully the shaft strut and rebedded 
and fair it. I was lucky to be ok with minimal alignment of the engine after 
that. I hope to be fine for many years to come now. 

I also redid engine compartment insulation last year. It's not as quiet as an 
Oyster ;), but it is quieter and it runs smoother than before. I can't exactly 
identify the main reason since I changed everything at the same time.

Re: Stus-List Propeller - flexofold

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

That's less than half what the MSRP on a comparable Max-Prop would be.
That being said, I like my Max-Prop and would generally only consider a
Gori in its place.

Someone here has advised of a feathering prop which doesn't need the pitch
adjusted?  Kiwi-prop?  I can't remember.  I was quite intrigued by this
option as well.

Re: Stus-List Propeller - flexofold

[Bill Coleman via CnC-List]

I can say that going from a two blade Max-Prop to a 3 blade Gori I have way 
less vibration. That is why I did it. If I was not racing I would have gotten a 
3 blade Flexofold. 

The Max Prop seems to have a Chop-Chop sound at certain RPS’s, which I 
attribute to the flat blades, altho I am no expert. Sounded like cavitation. 

Also, the 3 Blade is supposed to break up the vertical laminar flow coming off 
the keel and strut, at least according to what I read on the subject.

Bruno, did you find there was less vibration with the three blade prop?

Mike,

 

The 3 blades Flexofold, 15" / 11" was 1 520 US $ two years ago, including the 
50$ freight charge. Plus the 

 

It replaced an original Martec fixed blades that was 16" / 10" pitch.

What did they charge you for that prop?

Robin,

 

I do remember the original fixed blades prop of my 33 mk II with original 
Yanmar 2gmf was 16", will have to check for the pitch but I think it is 12. I 
will be back home in two days to verify that.

 

I ordered a Flexofold 3 blades and they recommended 15" /9". The blade area is 
larger and I think it is too much prop for my boat, I can't push the engine 
over 2800. But it is a good prop and I deal with it.

Thanks. I just bought the boat and I'm pretty annoyed but sure the problem is 
that it's  worn and needs maintenance. I'm planning on removing it and putting 
a simple 2 blade prop on, at least for now.

 

It's hard to get info about the size and pitch specs. However, I found a 
website in BC that has a prop calculator and it gave me 15" with 9" pitch for 
my boat (CNC 33/2), engine and transmission. Does this sound right?

Any comments?

I have just purchased a C&C 33 mark 2 with a 2GMF engine. It has a 
clamshell-type folding propeller that, once in gear, is causing significant 
vibration above idle speed. What could be causing this?
