whitepointer 34 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I have a kiwi prop on a yanmar 30 with sail drive, when it starts to labour the motor going into reverse it is time to grease the prop, the center hub doesn’t like to get dry, usually after about 8months operation it needs a grease, 5 min job during a lift and wash, otherwise no issues, prop is approx 10 years old and still going well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alibaba 76 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yanmar 3GM with Kiwiprop. Had two blade Briski with HUGE propwalk on Yanmar saildrive. NO propwalk with kiwiprop, not loss of power compared to two blader, no drag when sailing. I'm very pleased with it, it is the second I have put on a boat, and even with a Yanmar 2GM on the last boat it worked well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My latest Maxprop has impressed me - lots of bite fwd and reverse and minimal propwalk. Maxprop seems pretty good and there customer service is outstanding. Have done a live video with them when diagnosing a prop issue while boat was in cradle. (and that was 20 years after they sold me the prop) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On my boat it is absolutely desirable and about my only tool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Prop walk can be very handy for tight turns in confined spaces, such as marina's. You do need to understand it though, and not try and turn the other way..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alibaba 76 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yep - I likes a bit of prop walk too, which is what I had on my previous boat. However, it was so severe on this boat - Lotus 9.2 - transom rudder even, that it would NOT go to port on reverse at all. Not great for getting out of the berth in some wind directions. That was a bit too much. NOw I only have to worry about wind and tide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
