Oops

[Sixpence]

Now I know why the tender outboard was vibrating /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Prop is about seven inches diameter, any suggestions ?
I think a repair like that is beyond my abilities

 

[simplesimon]

hey no complaining it did us alright on our run to the pub in the attack boat

They were the good vibrations /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[sarabande]

Looks like a new one needed, but could you cut down all the blades till they are same ? That might reduce the vibration.

PS When drilling for oil in future....

Quite possibly the problem originated on the run back from the pub /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Think I'll have to put up with it for now, cutting it down would take away most of the power I think
But yes, I'll use a drill next time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

steeldevelopments or similar companies will rebuild a prop to new.
Depends if you want to bear the cost of a rebuild to new, or just buy a new or reconditioned. The bigger the prop, the more cost effective it is to rebuild it.

Sorry Brendan, should have made it clear, it's some sort of plastic prop, not steel

wot o/b

Johnson 87cc 4HP Seahorse

 

[MoodySabre]

I've got a Johnson 3.5 - when the guy in the next berth hit the outboard (on the pushpit) and broke the prop I waved my hand "These things happen, don't worry" (turning down his offer to pay). Then I found out it was £37!

I was given this source of cheaper Johnson bits from USA
The address: dbrooke@vintageoutboard.com

[bastonjock]

if you have all the bits it could be plastic welded

 

[Sixpence]

No such luck Matt, no idea where they are

Thanks for the link Roger, I'll see what Louise has to say after she's tried it

 

[BrendanS]

I don't think they can do plastic, but they can do ali etc.
If anyone has a plastic repair service,I'll stick it on favourties, as never heard of that one before.

 

[Marmalade]

From the picture I deduce that you're using your outboard on grass. This may be the cause of your broken prop. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Dave, sorry to see that.

Here si an ebay link, very expensive but might help with the part number and description.



I will phone Engines Dunn in the morning to see if he has one laying around at Corporate Headquarters.

and a bit more info.

I thin kwe now need the model number and serial off the engine so we can identify it.

 

[Sixpence]

Got me doubting myself so took it off the o/b, seems to be metal inside but definately plastic blades
