P-Bracket to Sealine F44 1998

[Bernt Wasler]

Hi
I have a Sealine F44 1998 wheren the p-bracket has been bent, does anyone have the part number of the p-bracket or who can supply a new one?

A competent engineering works should be able to straighten it; if there isn't a local one you could try Norris Marine.

Try Clements marine in the UK. I believe they used to make a lot of underwater gear for Sealing.

Been down this road.
Due to the age of the boat, Princess kept no record or details of who supplied their stern gear in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Bent my "P" big time along with the shaft.
Made several phone calls and nobody was interested in attempting to straighten it.
It was suggest that a new one would need to be newly fabricated either in stainless or having new one cast and machined.
Either way the cost and even worse the time to make a new one was eyewatering.
Removed the " unrepairable" P" bracket and took it to a local propeller shop in Chatham Historic Dockyard for inspection.
Hang on few minutes the chap said and let us have look, it was at least 2" out of true.
20 minutes later walked out with the bracket back to true., fitted it that same day and was back in water the following day.
