Good as new after the "Henley" episode
Ballerinas` straightened and balanced props as they came out of the INVICTA MARINE workshop.
Now all we need now is to find something to hit .... back up the Thames in August ?
The spare set of temp. props fitted are OK but they definately lack the bite of these wee beasties .

 

[Chill]

Got any before pictures?

 

[Actionmat]

They'd pass as Christmas decorations:encouragement:
What did that set you back? Mine could do with a bit of attention, if only I could work out how to raise a leg

And you are going to dunk them in dirty muddy water

 

[oldgit]

Unfortunately no before pixs..... lets just say efforts made to dress the props for them to not bash the back of the rudders, in order to get home, was considerable.
Balance and straighten both props was around £250 quid
.....and yes at some point they will be going back on into the merdey water of the Mudway although probably not until just before the RCC cruise across Le Manche.

They are rather purdy!

I'll give them a Month after fitting...

Thanks for that vote of confidence....
Any progress on the bolt extraction episode ?

Paul has now done his sea trial on the P360 in Welsh Wales , boat lifted but apparently one of the props is reluctant to come off a shaft.
Think the plan was on the low loader sometime today and back to Gillingham for Friday relaunch.
Back round to club Saturday perhaps .
Another Princess to swell the team and vitally important break in the row of white plastic house bricks complete with access stages to enable ancient owners to clamber aboard.
Will fill the gap behind me and provide a nice wind break as one walks up the pontoon.

How about a 3D printer for Christamas, OG ? Then you can make your own next time ?

On your club cruises, you could have a fully kitted out workshop to keep everyone moving with pump parts, props, and passerelle parts.

Did I say a Month? My apologies, I meant an hour... unless the guard rail is dropped next time of course

The errant bolt will undergo a full assault on Saturday, now that my ACME tap and die set have turned up from fleabay's finest and I've watched a couple of youtube videos of how to use one. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm going to ignore those other hurtful remarks, there aren't that many access towers along the pontoons, and if you really want to climb to the heights of Fairline ownership then, well, you need some altitude!

Don't worry Murv, just glide past Fred when he's got his head over the stern looking at the what he knows will be another trip to the scrubbing blocks......
