Steve,
Thanks for getting back to me. I doubt getting this Gori 2-blade 16.5 x 11 RH
prop rebalanced will help since I already did this and the results we're
negative. After trying to resolve this for the last three years I think the
only solution is a new prop. I relied on your company's expertise to size this
prop for me and I made a mistake that I will have to live with. If you know of
anyone that wants to buy a prop please let me know. Thanks for your concern.
Chris

Dear Sir,
Perhaps the thing to do is have the propeller removed and re-balanced as i
think you have enough tip clearance and don't see this as an issue. Sorry that
i cannot be more helpful than that.

Hi Steve,
My name is Chris Tassone. I spoke with you at Strictly Sail Chicago
concerning the noise I get with my Gori 16.5" x 11 x 2rh prop. You suggested
that tip clearance could be the culprit. My tip clearance is 5-1/2". I spread
the prop by spanning the blades and hub with a strait edge and measured this
distance. I also measured the distance on my 1" shaft from the cutlass to the
front of the prop hub which is 1-3/8". My boat is a 1979 C&C 34 with a Yanmar
2QM. The noise is really noticeable and could be a concern if I ever try to
sell the boat. Would a smaller prop solve the problem? I installed a new
shaft and coupling when I purchased the Gori. I lapped the shaft and checked
it with a dial indicator. The shaft is aligned. I really appreciate your
attention.
Thanks,
Chris Tassone
