Heart & Soul has about 3 inches between the strut and the prop, she also only has an inch or 2 between prop tips and the hull. I may wind up replacing the prop as she is being repowered, going from the original A-bomb to a Beta 20.

I had to put a 3 blade prop on my 35 Mk II. A two blade prop would get the blade tips too close to the hull (which would also cause vibration). Shawn's boat appears to have a 2 blade prop and an extended shaft to get the blades away from the hull. Not a good approach in my opinion.

I recall reading a survey on a boat I was considering where the surveyor commented on excessive prop shaft extension as a possible cause of vibration. As this boat has a VW diesel (not sure of the transmission), I am wondered if the shaft might be too long. How does this compare with other 35s? -- Shawn wrightshawngwri...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
