“Hi Chris, after we spoke to you yesterday, we spent a couple of hours on Beachcomber trying out the prop and I have to say we are extremely pleased with how she performed.”
“I think your suggestion that we had overfilled it with grease was correct as she settled down and behaved exceptionally well.”
“Of note we found that she was very happy motoring along at 6.4kts with the revs at 1600, which is a far better performance that before when we would have had to have the revs at 1800 to achieve the same.”
“Maneuvering in the port was much improved using only 7-800 rpm Minimal vibration compared to the old prop at 1800rpm.
“We will watch the fuel consumption with interest but think we should save 15-20% on fuel.”
