Bob,
If the coupling is fairly accessible, it's not a big deal. My coupling have a
very visible white mark on it for when the blades are horizontal (pivot pin
vertical). I marked it when the boat was hauled. I jump down into the cockpit

So, if the shaft does not get locked in a position with the folded
blades vertically aligned (the proper orientation) it's possible for
the lower blade to "droop" and create some drag in low hull speed
conditions. Worst case would have the shaft locked with the blades
aligned horizontally.
However,
We have a two blade MaxProp which rotates easily on it's own. I lock the tranny
in reverse and then crew allign the mark on the coupling with a mark on the
tranny so the blades are vertical for least resistance.

Thanks Neil
I knew high pressure water would do the trick but I did not think a
household unit would give enough pressure.you must get close to 3000 psi
with yours and the turbo nozzle would help.still there is a lot of water run
off and maybe spray to nearby boats to consider

The last time that I stripped the bottom to the barrier coat I used my
household pressure washer and a "Turbo" nozzle. It removed the Micron
CSC in a very well defined and complete fashion. Very little post

Bob,
Can you rent a soda blaster in your area?
I looked at buying one from Harbor Freight a couple years ago. Can't recall any
details but I considered doing myself.
I know the yard where I haul out in Pensacola does a lot of soda blasting.
Sounds like a good way to go.

Mandeville,
The type of prop and reduction gear (transmission) makes a difference between
sailing in gear or not.
A fixed prop will often cause the shaft to spin resulting in damage from lack
of lubricant. Some boats have a shaft brake installed.
A folding prop will rarely cause the shaft to spin.

Depends on how popular the crew was.
Mostly it was off the Pt Fermin starting area for Transpac. Light winds,
choppy water.
Starting a 2 weeks sail already covered in salt water... priceless.

No, I meant horizontal. If the two blades were vertical (up & down) then
the lower one could potentially come down, but that shouldn't happen with a
geared prop. When horizontal (blades aligned right and left of the shaft)
you eliminate most of the possibility of that happening.

Just read the advisory note. Interesting. Other transmissions don't like the
shaft turning when the engine is off as the tx oil pump runs off the input
shaft and lubrication stops when the engine stops.

I do not think that a pressure wash (high pressure) will work well on
antifouling without damage to the gel coat.
My boats have always been pressure washed in the fall by the yard after haul

Didn't realize you were putting it in reverse, but as I said, it is less of
an issue with a folding prop because there should be no drag and no twist.

Joel,
I was always taught that putting it in reverse after ensuring the shaft was
in the proper position essentially locked the shaft in that position and
ensured the blades remained where you wanted them. The idea is that

With a fixed prop you are putting pressure on the bearings to turn the

Why can you not sail with the gear box in reverse? I e done that for years to

It wears out the transmission because it will force the shaft to rotate,
and it also voids a Yanmar warranty (like any of us have one).

Logically, if you are in light wind conditions, the drag of a droopy blade
could be a consideration. If you align the prop so the blades are in a
horizontal position, it should fold back and reduce drag, but If you
race on SF Bay, no problem, the prop will fold in that 20 knots.
