New prop, disappointing power, black smoke.

Any suggestions that might assist me to overcome the problems?

Errrrr ..... you've installed the wrong prop Vyv. The one the left-hand window looks about right to me.

I thought "Vyv, asking a question about a prop?" That can't be right

 

[AntarcticPilot]

Bit over-propped, I'd suggest!

Perhaps you need to consider uprating the engine - I would think you need at least 50HP to drive that

Nothing a couple of travellers couldn't sort!

Too many staff standing about not working.

Don't tell me-- Dylan ordered it for his outboard on his "Centaur" project

When you have finished with those model people can my daughter have them for her doll's house?

No, it would need at least half a dozen of them to carry that off, and they'd have to nick something a bit bigger than a transit to get it away!

Prop stationary and boat spinning should give you a clue!!

Nothing a couple of travellers couldn't sort!

reminds me of a tale told by the old man about loading a prop as deck cargo for one of the Blue Funnel ships stuck out in the Far East

started out at the UK end as a bronze prop weighing many tons, by the time they got to Singapore and went to unload it it'd turned into a wooden dummy weighing not many tons at all!

they never did figure out how or where it was switched (although it must've been, to some extent at least, an inside job)

Nah............... Don t play with it.....Cut 12" off each blade and reprofile.... Worked for me about 40 years ago !!!!!!! Came back onto the engine curve and went like a dream except in the SW Monsoon!

Good job they're all wearing hard hats, otherwise they might be in trouble if it falls on them.

 

[peterandjeanette]

No problem. Just get a slightly bigger boat.

I installed one of those on my Sabre last year. TBH I did'nt experience your "black smoke" issues at all.

But bloody hell she has a mind of her own going astern now...

Suspect your air filter may be the root cause ...
