Another small point. When I had a diver change the Maxprop zinc it later
fell off because the retaining screws worked out completely. The screws are
a special metric size so ordered new ones ( a buck each). Decided then that
changing zinc during haul out made more sense since I could put a drop of
Locktite on them - problem of lost screws/lost zinc solved.  Cheers

When you put a zinc on the shaft, there is normally a bit of slack in the
whole assembly. This is usually fixed by whacking the zinc with a hammer to
seat it on the shaft. Unless you back up the other side of the shaft with
something relatively immobile, you stand a chance of bending the shaft. So,
you hold a BFH (large hammer) on the back end of the zinc when you whack it.

The thinnest part of the zinc is at the bridge between the two halves, so if
you liberally coat those surfaces with paint, nail polish, or whatever, the
zincs will not vanish and leave you with no protection.

Hi Jim, hate to sound like a total boob as compared to my normal boobness,
but what are you referring to in both the dead blow hammers and painting of
zincs?? I am interested.

I had the same deal with my MaxProp, except all my zincs fell off. This was
before I was Enlightened to dead-blow hammers and critical painting of
zincs.

It cost $500 US, but the guys at PYI did a great job of rebuilding the prop.
Two weeks and half a boat unit is a cheap option.

It appears that the zincs got replaced on my drive shaft but not my
Maxprop!!! Needless to say my prop is shot and I am looking at either
another of the same or other options. I am hoping that some one out there
with the same or similar boat can weigh in on whether the Maxprop or
something else is recommended. I have a 3GM30 and ever since I bought this
boat several years ago I have felt there was a bit too much vibration and
not enough speed. If I take the engine up to about 2700 rpm's my boat speed
is only around 5 to 5 1/4 knots. The prop has always performed adequately
but not great. Maybe the pitch etc. is off. Looking also at the Variprop
which supposedly has the least drag of all 3 blades and can be adjusted much
easier than the Maxprop. Thoughts, ideas, what are you other 34+ owners
using?

 

Thanks,
