Just a thought: the
Rich costing lift pump probably lasted at least 20 years. I suggest simply
replacing it instead of introducing a new bunch of components to fail, (and
stop if the power dies).

Hi. I need help selecting an inline lift (fuel) pump. While on our annual
vacation our engine (3HM30F) started acting funny. After running for 20+
minutes in the 2000-2200 rpm range the throttle would become unresponsive when
put back to idle. I would have to work the throttle to get the eng
I would imagine the problem with power washing off the bottom paint is the
amount of toxic runoff it would create and the difficulties in collecting it.

I've requested quotes from Martec and Flex-o-fold.
Martec has replied recommending:
"We would recommend a 16 x 10 x 1 RH MKIII folding propeller,

12 X 10 (eBay super deal) vs. 16 X 10 (Martec recommendation) seems like

I don't understand then why the "marine contractors" don't pressure wash
the antifouling paints(s) off instead of the usual methods of sanding,
scrapping, chemical peels, soda blasting, etc. Don't know anyone around
here that advertises "pressure washing"...do you?

Agree, replaced a Flex-O-Fold on my 39 TM with a 2 blade max prop. The

First, I'm amazed that Ox would still have you. :)
As for props, my 1st choice would be Flex-O-Fold, 2nd choice Martec. Chuck

my 35-1 so I went with a Martec on Touche'. I don't love it but I like it.

I second this regarding 1) what you are looking for and 2) considering a new
prop.
I re-propped this spring after my 15 year old 3 blade feathering Max-Prop was

It depends of what you are looking for. I wanted to improve the performance of
the boat sailing, more power motoring, with good reverse (not being the

Just something to consider.
If you are a racer and choose to remove bottom paint with a sander, try to find
or rent a powered (air or electric) long board sander such as a Hutchins or
Dynabrade. Failing that, try to get a large 7 inch disc sander.
The reason? It's difficult to hold a smal
Its more than 25% smaller given the shape of the blade. I suspect its more
like 40%. That means your engine will be revving higher and you will be
moving slower under power, but under sail ...

Thanks for all the replies.
Ebay has a Martec RH 12 x 10P - 1" Shaft for only $195.
It's right down the road (Green Cove Springs, FL).
I could haul the boat and install it there.
I wonder if the 12" diameter is way too small.
I don't do a lot of motoring, mainly just off and back onto the dock.

I think it will remove the ablative paint if you use a higher pressure
unit...may take some adjusting to get it right without affecting the gel
coat if there is no epoxy barrier coat below the ablative paint...the one
the yard uses is not producing high enough pressure to remove paint and I

Don:
A pressure washer will not remove an ablative paint. When our boat is
hauled every Fall, the bottom is pressure washed by the yard staff and
while it might remove a small amount of the paint, it will not remove it
so as the gelcoat is showing.
I have been using Micron CSC for the past
Would a pressure washer work on a soft ablative paint? What psi would be
needed?

Hi Bob,
If it is ablative as stated, then you should be able to easily sand it off in
short time.I did my own bottom jab last Fall, and one of my best
investments was a good quality orbital sander. I purchased a Dewalt D26453K
on Amazon for $69. Using 60 grit disks, I was able to sand do

Bob,
I have no experience with any of these products. The last time I
stripped antifouling paint was in 1991 and after that, I swore I would
never do it again.
If your budget can afford it, have someone else do it. Soda blasting is
popular. Our current boat was stripped of years of antifo

I had a 3 blade feathering prop for my 29-2 and switched it to a Gori 2

used it less than a year and took it off his 29-2 just before he sold it.
I'm very happy with it. It is geared and I have notice a marked increas
I'm a great fan (and user) of Flex-o-fold. Excellent quality of the casting
