By comparison with the beer bottle (excellent choice, btw! (y)) those prop anodes look pretty large, what shaft diameter have you got?
Mine are 60mm, with 100hp more each side, and those anodes look larger...!
Dunno , i will go in with a piece of string to get the Dia .You will then owe me a virtual beer:)
They say “60 “ inside .
Anyhow

Anyone know what the tanker rates are, they usually pretty good and got a fill in Antibe last year that was a good price compared to the marina Filling station.

Polished up my transom today , as it was overcast and breezy ....good day for work .
lifted the tender off on to the dock .
3m ultra fine cutting on a wet sponge with a silverline rotary polisher .
Mrs Porto doing the wetting me doing the gorilla work out .
You can’t really do it alone ...mix water , wet hands and a 220 v hand held polisher ....knack is to keep electricity and water separate !

We will do the teak a bit later in the year with a proprietary brighter teak system .But for now just a sea water scrub with those corse brown and blue sponges removes helluva amount of grime accumulation.Finished with a deck brush
They are solid 15 mm planks so can take a bit of scrubbing .
Rather enjoying bonding with it , the boat it’s been a long time away .

It’s a little overcast at Porquerolles but should clear soon. However this morning the sea was dead calm so we took advantage. We are too busy to stay overnight but it’s the first time we’ve been here for months. The crowds are back and all the restaurants are open, so life has returned to normality
