This has turned into a job and a half and ended up with me having to replace coupling, shaft, propeller, stern tube, cutlass bearing and housing. Looking at a bill of about 2k because the previous owner neglected the anodes.

Derbyshire so not too close to the sea

How far would you be prepared to moor your boats from where you live, what do you guys consider being too far to travel, I only ask as I have an opportunity to move with a good job offer but I think it would be the end of boat ownership sadly.
cheers Alan

It’s all looking good but you do know once all the jobs are done another list of things to do will come along 😫👍🏼

No prop anode but sure it is the earthing that needs sorted

Do you use a special type of anti foul on the prop? I read somewhere that regular antifoul wax detrimental to the bronze props.I may have dreamt that though.
It was anti fouled by the previous owners as I have yet to use the boat as I have been doing her up but it seems the problem is due to electrolysis as I have checked the continuity between the anodes and the shaft and there is no connection, how long this has been like this I do not know.

Is that the boss of your prop? Is it steel!
what size is that castle nut?No it’s bronze just residue of old anti foul and the nut is on 1 1/2 shaft

Yes I’m glad I found it now before I was using it in anger for the first time, shame it took me so long to spot it

I had a detailed quote....
Apparently I need 2 fuel filters and 2 oil filters per engine.... not on the schematics or service guide and weren’t there last time I checked 🤣🤣
This is why I have over the years learnt to do most of the services myself, I can’t believe the price some people are willing to pay 😱
