hi all,
I am looking at a boat with big MANs and 4 bladed props. I am reviewing work orders and maintenance and see that the props were pulled for reconditioning and balance when the boat was 10 years old. OK, makes sense.
Then the props were pulled again the next season for reconditioning and balance. There's nothing noted that they were changing the pitch.
Is there any good or bad reason you can think of that would cause someone to pull their props two years in a row?
Would some type of cavitation issue, or prop shaft issue, or cutlass bearing knock the props out of balance?
maybe the seller hit something with both props?
thanks
