Line Cutters for Shafting

[Pitou]

Quite the prop overhang, it's normally not much more than a shaft diameter, is that the way Albin set her up? Can't see the top of the prop, maybe Albin needed to gain so "tip to hull" clearance..or maybe was there a drivesaver added?

I've always thought the overhang was odd, but this is how Albin set things up and there is no drivesaver. Prop is 24 X 24, 3 cup, 4 blade Hy Torq Nibral, the same prop configuration that they used with the 6CTA.

I don't have a picture handy, but the "tip to hull" clearance is about 4 inches .. I've been curious about adding a larger diameter prop, but haven't explored it with all of the other maintenance & refits that I've taken on over the last 4 seasons and now into my 5th of ownership.

Yes you have been busy... only one "important task" to focus on now ------ piling up those engine hours!

Nice job we knew you could do it.
Sometime I'll tell you about drilling and tapping into a strut underwater.

Thanks Jay. You guys gave me the direction and confidence necessary to get this done!
