Removing 3 bladed prop on an Alberg 35
"Frogwatch" wrote Cut the prop shaft in the boat. Take out a 2" long section. Take off prop. When re-installing, use a sliding coupler to join the two pieces. This assumes you even have enough room to do this cutting. Woah! This is up there with some of the worst advice I've encountered on this newsgroup. -- Roger Long |

Alignment questions aside, that would have to be one strong coupler. |

The shaft nearly hits the rudder in the rear and there is only a couple of inches between the engine coupling and the packing gland. Unless you wanted an Alberg 33 with the open back cockpit for racing :-) Bruce in Bangkok (brucepaigeATgmailDOTcom) |

What limits/prevents the rudder from swinging to the side.
If it is steering linkage, that can be unhooked to allow more movement, If it is the mechanical attachment of the rudder itself, you're toast. Who installed the last one and could you talk to them? Gordon |

Removing 3 bladed prop on an Alberg 35
I once chartered a Hunter 37 (IMS) with just this arrangement. And it did in
fact come loose, luckly with the coupling attached to the prop side so it didn't leave the boat. "Roger Long" wrote in message ... "Frogwatch" wrote Cut the prop shaft in the boat.
