Hi all; I hope everyone had a great New Years! I am looking for feedback on an

Calypso has a Lewmar Ocean windlass, #2 size IIRC. I went oversized to handle
a 65lb CQR and 90' of chain. It has served well with some heavy use for 14
years. I now have the gear box off the boat for re-painting and have not seen
any mechanical wear.

I recommend contacting PYI, Inc. and asking for assistance. Be sure to have
your MAX prop owner's manual or obtain another from PYI (often downloadable
from their web site). The manual will have a chart to indicate what the prop
is set at now and which way to go to reduce pitch.

I also was skeptical - they listed paints by manufacturer. So, Pettit has paint

does it mean that Pettit has an X rating?

We have a new to us CC 41 with a Max prop which is severely overpitched.
Does anyone know the correct settings for when I haul it?

Allen , it was in my old US 27, (not our 30-2) the overhead hatch aft of
the mast on that boat. If I were to add one to our 30-2's it would be in
one of the small hatches in the head, which would cool and remove odors. I
believe our boats are small enough that this would still be effective
Powerwinch is not a brand I would have on my boat, when I sold them at WM
we got at least half returned because they didn't run, right out of the
box. I wouldn't waste my time with it. Put in a good windlass and be done
with it.

Agreed. I have to feel the hull with one hand and scrub with the other.
Baltoplate has a high molybdenum content so it burnishes very well.

The decision is really based on your wallet and how much anchoring you plan to
do. In the past, I’ve used Lofrans, Maxwell and Lewmar verticals and have had
good luck with all on combination rodes. Muir is likely excellent as well.
For all chain nothing beats the Maxwell although the Lofrans
What Martin said...but I want to emphasize that you need to know your
engine model and the reduction gearing on your transmission and the
diameter of the prop *before* calling PYI.

Generally I would say that you should worry less about max boat speed and
more about matching max rpm to full load. You should reach max rated rpm
and not blow black smoke. All of this assumes a clean prop and bottom.

Do you reach max rpm in neutral? If not it's not the prop.

Richard,
This could be the proverbial can of worms for you. Josh has given you some
good tips on troubleshooting.
Keep in mind that if you have an all chain rode any windlass replacement may
include new chain if you can't find a gypsy to match your chain. Chain ain't
cheap.

Another key indicator that the engine is straining besides black smoke is
engine temperature, which should be 195 max. Diesels prefer to run loaded up
and warm, but we throttle back to keep the temperature right.
Another note: RPM meters are not always accurate. A hand held tachometer proved

The correct setting will allow your engine to reach maximum rpm (Nigel Calder
says at least 90% of rated speed), under load (in gear) at full throttle. If
you can't reach max rpm, you're over pitched. If you can run faster than max
rpm, you're under pitched. Normal run speed is about eighty
