incognito
N/A
A friend is buying a boat, for which the surveyor's report identifies a loose fitting prop. It is a saildrive with a folding prop.
Now, we have heard a rumour that Volvo have between-you-and-me admitted to a design fault with the folding prop, in that the splines are manufactured in an aluminium alloy and they should be nickel-aluminium (these may be inexact, I am not an expert in these matters).
As he is one of that small minority who do not have a computer or access to the Internet, he asked me to inquire if anyone else has anything they can offer on this topic, facts, opinions, rumours welcome. (Facts preferred).
