Just an update:
“IT’S PROP SLIP”
Now I am quite cross as I specifically had the prop sent away over the winter for checking for prop slip.
The prop returned with no report and badly finished paintwork. So much so the paint must have been still wet when they shipped it back as a lot came off on the packaging. After touching up, anti-fouling and installing, all the paint came off in a couple of weeks except where I touched it in. This caused me to completely strip and redo, probably they never primed the aluminium correctly.
I will not name and shame as I have not had a reply back from my email yet.
This has caused me a lot of wasted time and looking around for other possible faults as I dismissed the prop as being the culprit “as I had it checked”.
Now my dilemma ... do I send it back for repair, look for another repairer or purchase a new propeller, keeping the old one as a spare.. decisions decisions...
