elysian 27 aft cockpit prop issues

[netjet]

hi, we bought an Elysian 27 in february this year and have carried out a number of long needed maintenance items, while we use it every weekend for trips on the nene in peterborough, we plan to cover the middle level and ouse for our 2 week holiday in august, while taking it out at the weekend, the prop came in contact with something and since then there is a mild vibration in forward gear and a bad shaking with little movement in reverse, i suspect a replacement prop my be necessary to rectify the problem, can anyone tell me the information as to pitch/size/type prop that was fitted to a 1978 27foot aft cockpit model fitted with a perkins 4108 engine tmp gearbox, or suggest where i might be able to find this information before i get the boat out the water so i can order a replacement ready to avoid the boat being out the water too long,,,many thanks...Neil

I did the same on my boat earlier in the year, and the prop repaired by Steel Developments. Cost £45.

Probably best to get it out and confirm the size, there will be many variations. As already said a prop repairer will do it in a day and much cheaper than a new one.

www.clementsmarine.co.uk talk to Paul Williams. As stated he will get it fixed for you while you wait. Or make a new one to suit, whatever it will be a top notch job.

I spoke with Paul today by phone, he seems a very knowledgeable bloke who knows what he is on about! he suggested i run the prop, shaft and coupling down to him and he will put it right. helps me with your recommendation, many thanks for you advice...Neil
