I thought the 300 mile trip would be a perfect opportunity to completely test the propeller. I was planning on moving the boat to San Francisco. By this time I was back in San Francisco 300 miles away from the boat. The engine was fine with the old gori propeller and I motored the boat up from panama the previous year with no problems. They responded and said they did the calculation again and that it was correct and that there was potentially something wrong with the engine. However, I immediately alerted them of the problem.
REPITCH MODE SIMPLE DELAY INSTALL
Then when I did go down and install I was just there for a few days so I only got to do a short test. I didn't go down to the boat immediately upon receiving the shipment in San Francisco so that took some time. I live in San Francisco and the boat was in Ventura (300 miles away) at the time I purchased the Flexofold. They are basing their refusal to take back the blades based on my delays.
REPITCH MODE SIMPLE DELAY HOW TO
there is no way to make adjustments.Īny suggestions on how to get them to change their mind and accept the blades back? if they dont accept the original blades back, i would not buy this type of propeller again unless i was sure of the size. i think that they should have replaced the blades at no cost instead of charging me an additional 2,000. Its not a cheap propeller and l would like it to be right. some of the people who posted might want to look into this even though they have not personally experienced any known detrimental effects of being over propped. i consulted an expert and he said that if its over propped at the higher rpms its over propped all along the rpm range. now with 1 inch smaller blades as well as less pitch this smoke has gone away and i can reach 3800.Įverything i've read says to get it right. i even ckecked the accuacy if the rpm guage just to make sure it was reading correctly. i informed them of this immediately after the install. boat had 1/2 tank of gas and 1/2 tank if water and no out of the ordinary additional weight.
with the original blades i was starting to see some light smoke at 3000 and then heavy by 3450 with a clean bottom and clean propeller.
flexofold asked me for all the standard items like displacement, engine make and model, transmission, type of boat. As im sure you all know flexofold propellers do not allow adjustment of pitch like some of the other designs so the only way to make adjustments is to replace the blades.
