Re: Propeller
Hi Chris, I have a Universal M3-20 (3cyl 18hp Kubota) with a 3 blade prop but I don't know the size and pitch. This setup pushes the boat to 5kts at 1500rpm and to 7kts at 2000rpm. Matthias

Propeller
Hi folks, I currently have a Yanmar 2GM20F in my T-27 and it drives a two blade prop. This set up gives me very little power vs. vibration. I'm wanting to switch out props this summer. Has anyone gone

Re: Centerboard lifting system

Re: 1967 hull crazing

Re: Centerboard lifting system
There isn't a pulley of sorts.... Accept for the lifting pulley. I added a marine bronze pipe bushing as a wear component. You really should inspect this particular point on a regular basis. It's also

Re: 1971 hull crazing

Re: 1971 hull crazing
All old boats suffer some gel coat crazing or spider cracking from what I've seen. Tartans, Swans -- all of 'em. It is only a problem when it gets so bad it can let water into the laminate. Re-paint
