Wanna a Martec folding prop?
 

I have an old Martec 2 blade folding prop with 3/4" shaft hole if
anybody wants it. I'll give it away to get it outa my truck. If I
remember right, it was used for a 30' sailboat with a Yanmar 2GM but
cannot remember the details.

Shouldn't you make sure it's the right size and
pitch? Or doesn't that matter?

He doesn't know the specs, so I'll take a chance. I have so many
friends with 27-30 foot sailboats, the prop would find a home no matter
what. Why let it go to waste, Steve? I also have a friend with San Juan
30/30 who could use it, among others.

The pitch is adjustable.

What is the diameter? With a 3/4" diameter shaft, it
can't be very big.

Don't give it to the Swab. He will just sell it.

Put it on eBay yourself. Be sure to list the diameter of
the prop also. The bigger the wheel, the more it is worth.

Same prop except mine has a 3/4" shaft. I am shipping it tomorrow to
the first person here who expressed interest, Rob.

Thats awlful nice of you. Your a man of your word. Maybe the Commode's
X will buy you a big bottle of Maker Mark for your efforts........If
she has any class at all.

Just address the package to "Commode Rob LIS ****house" the UPS guys
know him by name.

This thing has been rattling around in my truck for 2 years. Whenever
I take my 9 yr old daughter anywhere in the truck my wife freaks out at
"All the heavy stuff that could go flying". "Its a truck for gods
sake" doesnt satisfy her but if it goes into the utility room (aka "The
Black Hole) it'll be gone forever.

Wanna a Martec folding prop?
 

No, I won't sell it, Joe and I've given away far more sailboat stuff to
friends and folks at my yard than I've sold. Most of the marine stuff I
sold on Ebay belonged to my yard and I made no money, just a barter of
services. I'll be doing it again in a few weeks to continue to help
clean out the yard's storage areas.

Bart,
He said it was a Martec folding prop. Yes, the
pitch is adjustable - if you send it to the
factory to have the blades ground or new blades
put on it.

An easy course of action and cheap to do when you send them back to be
reconditioned...needed after a time because of play in the hinge
action.

Easy and cheap? By the time you send them back,
get new blades, have the hub and your new blades
drilled for an oversized pin and have new stops
welded on the hub you've spent almost as much as
buying a new prop. The other problem is that you
can only have the prop refurbished a few times as
the rebore for an over sized pin almost every time
and can only do three times. So, you spent almost
as much as a new prop and get a prop with a much
shorter life span.
Now, if you knew the prop was the right size and
pitch for the boat, it wouldn't be as much of an
issue.

I had a new prop reconditioned for a friend's J30 a few years back.
Admittedly not a big prop, but the whole job was under 400 dollars and
the prop came back good as new. A new prop was a lot more than 400
bucks, more than twice the price. At that time I was also able to
bargain with the people at Martec a bit. They did a great job and that
prop is still in very good shape. Well worth it.

There are a total of four very different boats that are candidates. I
have a feeling one will work. Again, no point in wasting a prop and
leaving it in a garage.
I don't quite get your objection to someone who is generous handing out
an old prop and someone else taking the prop and in turn trying to
finding a home for it with some friends. There are a LOT of sailboats
at my yard and I'm friendly with more than half the owners, some work
HARD to keep their boats going. If my friends can't use it, one of them
probably can.
If you think I'll sell it on Ebay, just watch ebay for it. You won't
see it.

And according to Martec's website...

"Average cost is approximately $175.00 US, however, propeller size &
metal condition will affect this estimate; the freight cost to return
your propeller is additional.

In the case of my friend's J30 prop it was VERY beat up and worn.

I stand corrected. I'll give myself 1 lash.

I was thinking of MaxProp.

Come to think of it, Martec is a good prop for
Swabbie. He can put sponges on the end of
it. He knows how to use it.

I think you're putting us on Nutsy,

I've sent my Martec back for service several times. Never has it been
over $200 bucks. You're right about them coming back as good as new.

My Martec has been my main prop for about 15 years. My Std Prop has been
riding around in my truck since '96. The Folding Prop with the
Streamline Tips is the better prop. (Thanks to Mary's recommemdation at
Martec) Both will be going with the Sale

You're wrong about this, Thom. It was Steve who claimed it was
expensive. In the case of the J30 prop, it needed a LOT of work. I
posted the Martec info showing it's typically 175.00. Take this up with
Steve, who claimed reconditioning was close to the cost of a new prop!
A new prop for the J30 would still have been around 800 bucks, more
than twice the cost of reconditioing.

Sorry, Scotty...I was the one who posted 175 for average repair from
Martec. And your girlfriend was the one who actually claimed that it
was almost as expensive as a NEW PROP!
