Nancy,

its just a piece of PVC we had in the workshop, popped it on the mill and machined a recess on the back side so it couldn't slide about and a recess on the top side so we won't have to keep on picking bait up from the swim platform! Oh and a slot for somewhere to put a knife so that's not sliding about!

Now all I need is a 1-18" UNC tap so I can make new nuts for the propeller shaft as we can't get a screw cutting insert for love nor money.

Did you try H&H Propeller, they outfitted the running gear for Albin and may very well have them sitting on a shelf.

Didn't look in to that Rob due to time scale - we've got a full workshop here with CNC machinery so making up bespoke stuff isn't an issue - assuming you can get the tools in for it!

Haha yeah, there was a set on there but they were showing signs of electrolysis, so being an engineer I've taken them off and made new ones from aluminium bronze. .

Wax on. Wax off!

Assuming the yard finishes the service on the launch crane - we will be in tomorrow morning!


Oh, this is the wax if anyone is interested. Two coats should suffice.

Yes, nice shine for sure. When I opened that top picture looking down the hullside I did not realize what I was looking at. I thought, why is he posting a picture of 2 long pieces of wood on a stand painted white. All I saw was the boot stripe and the boat stand :)
