Might as well mount it on the slip, not the boat for optimum performance in
your case.my boat is on a mooring most of the time and even there with the
way she moves around I think flat and face up would give the best overall

Speaking of mounting panels, my new panel came with MC4 + and - connectors. I have never seen these before and am not sure what to do with them. I had planned on mounting a 12V receptacle (cigarette lighter type) in the cockpit to run wire through to the charge controller. Now I am not sure what
I appreciate the planning you are doing before your haul out. Isn't it nice
to be where the water doesn't freeze and you can sail 12 months a year?
Belle had her last bottom job in November 2011, so she'll be due for a haul
out in a year or so. Imzadi was splashed in the summer of 2010, and had a

The advantage of the MC4 connector is that it is waterproof and impervious
to corrosion, which the cigarette lighter plug will not be. Since you have a
removable panel you will be disconnecting and storing below, why not use the
MC4 pigtail and leave the end of the wiring inside the cockpit lazaret
kevin,
Here's what I do to keep the Y-valve operational.
During the sailing season, I'll pour vegetable or olive oil into the bowl and
pump it through to the holding tank. Also, at winterization, I'll add oil to
the anti-freeze and pump it through.
Monthly [or as often as I think about it],
All,
The manual form my 2 blade max prop indicates that the pitch was reduced
from 16 to 14 to 12 degrees over the years (last changed in 1997). I'm
about to send mine in for service (hopefully not for the first time since
1997), and was wondering if 12 degrees sounds right.
I should have a repo

If your engine is able to just make maximum rated revs when you are underway
with the throttle wide open, you are correctly pitched. If the revs are higher
by 100 or so, you're under pitched, and if lower, the prop is over pitched.
Check your manual for the rated RPM.

That will depend on your engine, tranny gear ratio and the prop diameter.
Mine is 17 x 10 (I think, my documents are on the boat). However, a pitch
of 10 is equivalent to about 18° of blade angle...

Joel,
I worked this same issue with Calypso's 3 blade MAX prop recently. Calypso
spent a few years slightly over pitched (1 setting). It was great in flat
water but lacked the ability to generate full HP when powering into a bigger
wind and seas.
Before going around Vancouver Island I dr
The Brunton Autoprop solves all those pitch problems.really it is a great

works as it should and has done so for 10 years without service of any kind.
No connections, the prop came installed on Alianna when I bought her.
