Alex;

I've just started reading this e-mail string, so forgive me if what I am
about to say has already been covered.

All of the prop manufacturers I've dealt with offer a way to get a
recommendation for the proper prop size on their website. You provide the HP
of your engine (and maybe the model and max torque information), the gear
reduction (output RPM) and max engine speed, and information on the
size/model/weight of the boat. They tell you which prop options would be
optimal.

For my 15,000 pound 38, with 36 hp diesel @3000 max RPM, and a 1.76:1
reduction Gori recommended a 16x10, Martec a 16x 10.5, and Flex-o-fold a
15x11 (each in 2-blade, I'd need to look for the 3-blade recommendations).

On the face of it, 14x12 looks like a lot of prop. State of the art electric
drives (using AC controllers or DC Pulse Width Modulation) used in
industrial vehicles can be designed to produce max torque at under 10 RPM,
but the torque produced generally declines as RPM increases.

My 16x10.5 Martec is roughly equivalent to a 14x14, I'm told. It is handling
about 300 ft-lbs of max torque at about 1300 prop RPM. (Torque load falls
off above that point as you approach 3000 engine/1700 prop RPM). Don't know
what the torque curve is for your electric drive, but I wonder if it might
be unable to reach a high enough RPM before the torque load maxes out the
RPM.

If you've not done so already, I'd suggest that you talk to the folks at
Martec (and the manufacturer of your electric drive) to get a prop
recommendation.

FWIW,

I had a 14x6 Martec at the end of an old WESTERBEKE 15HP diesel
pushing/pulling my CC35-II in and out of the slip and only when facing a
real tailwind backing out of my slip, did I have noticeable problems.

So, for my new Electric motor, I dove in and bought a MARTEC 14X12       and
will have to wait till spring to see if I go forward, sideways or backward.

Cheers!

Sam,
         I found a used geared Gori for my 27 and it works fine in forward
and reverse. I had hoped to find a 3 blade folder of some kind to minimise
vibration but when I checked the manufacturers specifications there were
none available in a small enough diameter. That was a few years ago so it
might not be true now.

Good experiences; thanks for sharing.
Looks like two or three endorsements for the Max Prop; about the same
against the Martec; one for the Flexofold; ...and a Gori replacing a Martec!
couple of questions:
How big a deal is the maintenance on the Max Prop?
Is it just a matter of greasing the prop every couple of years or is there
more? - I pull the boat out of the lake every October; so it wouldn't be too
much of a concern.
I still have the old prop on the shaft. Am I correct in assuming that the
taper is a standard SAE? I'm going to need to know for sure before I order.
(Probably safer to remove the prop and measure for peace of mind!) Any more
information / experiences / insights welcome.

Another vote for Flex-o-fold. Put a 2 blade on Perception after we repowered
and love it, replaced a 3 blade Campbell Sailor ? and great in forward and

Hi Damien,How was your season?  It was WAY too short!  I just asked for a
haul out today...  Now we wait... I'm planning a new waste system
installation this winter and I'm wonder how your boat is set up.  Where the
tank is, how it is piped, blah blah blah... I'm just looking for ideas in
designing mine so, any pics would be awesome.  I'll document my project.
My handrails, traveler base and hatch boards came out really nice!  I'd love
to redo all the interior but it seems like quite and undertaking.  If I were
closer to the boat it would be different.  It is the whole needing 8 coats,
One coat per day, in the right temperatures that make it a difficult and
time consuming process.  If I could figure a way to keep the boat warm
safely it would be great.  Then Temp would not be an issue.  Anyway the head
is the priority right now.  I hate the system in place currently... I
googled you yacht club!  That looks like a nice protected spot and very
close to what looks like some g!
 reat sailing waters!! Hope all is well with you. Danny

masts up or down each season. &#65533; &#65533;The club also has 2 front end
loader tractors and a hydraulic trailer that launches or hauls out our boats
as needed. &#65533; This is operated by our members and each of us have to
sign a waiver against seeking damage compensation. &#65533; We each pay $130
per use for the tractor and trailer to take care of our boats. &#65533; Our
club is looking into mandatory insurance on the boats. &#65533; It's crazy
to think many of the boat owners do not carry insurance. &#65533; A lot of
the club work is done by volunteers and that all helps to keep fees low.

Okay guys, I'm planning a new waste system.  I'm going with the Raritan PHC
head and a new holding tank.  I currently have a very old Jabsco head and a
bladder holding tank.  I really don't like the bladder.  It has worked okay
but, one day it will fail and it will be disgusting!  I just want rid of
it... I'm looking for ideas on the design.  i.e.  Where to install the tank
and how to pipe it.  I've been reading and I was thinking to try and install
about a 16-18 gallon tank, that conforms to the hull, behind the head.
However, after a closer look on Saturday, I'm not sure there is enough room
there.  I was kind of hoping to install it there in order to pipe up a
gravity drain for when I'm in an area where that is possible.  This would
also keep the hose runs very short and I could easily vent and pipe the
pump-out fitting in the side deck above. Of course that would have the need
of piping up hill to get into the tank and make it a bit harder to clear the
waste from the ho!
 se with every flush.  Then I heard it might be better to have the waste run
downhill to the tank.  That would create the need of pumping overboard if I
were in an area that allowed it and the need of another pump.   I'm not
exactly sure how the pump-out system works when having it done at a pump-out
station.  Is it a fitting that attaches to the deck fitting and sucks it up
the hose or, do they run a smaller hose down into the tank and suck it
directly out with their hose? Anyway,  As always, any and all advice,
insights and colorful comments are appreciated! DannyLolita1973 Viking

Danny,

Good luck!
>From the head - discharge hose to Y valve.  One branch to a thru-hull,

to the tank.  The one to the tank needs a loop in it so it is above the
water line at all times.  The pump out connection is at the bottom of the
tank and runs to a deck fitting. The pump-out fitting sits the marinas use
inside the lip of the deck fitting and sucks out everything from there.
 The head will do all the work, no other pumps needed.

Where are you going that discharge is legal?

Pump-out fittings are a friction fit with the deck outlet. They scare the
hell out of me.
The last one I used, the previous user had turned the open/close lever at
the business end to close before turning the pump off. This left the hose
full of waste up to the shutoff. When I cracked the valve to pump out our
tank, there was some seriously explosive decompression and somebody else's *
stuff* flew everywhere.
I'm glad I don't have to use pumpouts very often, overboard discharge is
still legal most places in Canada; I still make sure it's deep, fast-flowing
water far from land.
