Propeller size

[Chris G]

I changed it last april. It was good I did, as the bronze rectangular 'key' that fits into the prop's groove was in bad shape. Crumbling in fact. So that was changed too.
As it was new, I didn't treat the prop with any kind of anti-fouling. I thought bright shinny polished bronze was not the number one on the barnacles menu. Big mistake! My 42 year old prop never had problems with barnacles.....However, by July i had to dive and scrape an inch thick layer of barnacles from both sides of the propeller blades. I am now a little bit wiser.
I managed to fit a bullet type zinc anode on the end of the retaining nut. There is just enough space between the prop and the rudder.

Well guys, finally got round to it!

How much did that prop cost?

Hi OldDemps.
Can’t really remember, as I bought a few other bits and pieces. I know that the list price is 3600 Danish kroner. I think that it works out about 553 US dollars. Denmark is an expensive country to live in, so I don’t know how that compares with US prices.

I am repowering a 28 Albin with a 330 Cummins 6BTA5.9, transmission ratio 2.1 what prop size are you using?

Sean,

If you were re-powering an Albin 28TE you might want to try searching/post a new thread on the “Tournament Express 26-35” Forum. I believe the 28 is a planing hull while 25/27’s are displacement.
