Another vertex ring issue

[eli]

Looks like Mach cleavers

[Chaz]

Is that prop bigger or just closer on that block ? Must be Trick photo.......Blades look wrong.......HeeHee....

I took that picture when I flew over the Navy shipyard in Va ...

The one laying in the parking lot looked like it was going on a submarine and the one on a 30 to 40 foot tall beam was about to be lifted by a travel lift and stuck on the back of a battle ship ..

Speaking of cell phone pic's and blade distortion .. check out the spine on these , then look at some of the other new ones, costing 3 times as much, that go fat-skinny-fat-skinny from hub to tip ..

Eli .. they ain't made Mach wheels since before I could grow a beard, let alone a grey one ..

Unfortunately not. They were unbeatable for some applications.

Are you saying that propellor technology has been stagnant over the last 40 years .. ???

Say hello .. tu mi lettle frieng ...

No. I was saying that today’s propellers don’t address the needs of certain combinations of hulls and engines as certain Mach propellers did.

like the prop on the v4 75hp omc on a hydro that did 130mph in 1966, dont think they make one that good today?

How did a discussion about not knowing how big to make a hole fit a cylinder get into a discussion about props.

Well, specifically, and apologies for turning this into a discussion about props:

The big drum Mach cleavers, worked by local prop gurus, were a favorite on light Nordic cat hulls with single engines (e.g. Argos). Local stock of new Mach propellers ran out at some point around the turn of the century.

Got me,

you know now what bothers me hash marks on pinned rings. ( in class some teach the hash is for rotation in the rings ) it’s like huh

and what about thoes no gaps that shoes up were theirs still gap but they have the overlap. Anyone tried them on a inboard.

Welp .. the best I can tell .. Markus won't tell me a fair price to charge Yourpeeins to install sleeves.

But he does have a fetish for antique props, motors and hulls .. but won't say which ones ..

I posted a pic of the flower vase the ball and chain got at the art festival over the weekend .. eli wants to try it on his boat .

It fondly reminded Power of days gone by of mini OMC's dancing in his head.

Which sparked thoughts of depleted big barrel Mach wheels and how mighty they once were.

I just bought 1000 IPO shares of PowerMachusProps @ lunch time and doubled my money by closing bell ..

When the weather cools off a little , we all goin to Momo18's place for some killer "mater ~ sammichs "

dats all I know fo now ... ehh
