Germain Jean-Pierre #48628 Hi Nick, Replacing the prop in water is an easy task; best done by a diver. If you have the Amel spare, it came with a new hub. Remove the old hub by unscrewing the nylon bolts. Note the shear is still in good condition... Replace with now propeller, NOTE: on our boat we apply rigorously the 2 second rule between toggling P or S. this ensures the prop is fully stopped before powering in the other direction. Lost 2 props in the learning days.... no more since “the rule”.

Is the replacement procedure documented in the boat manual (with part needed and tools ? ) I'm not on board... Kindly Nick SM471 Port Corbieres Near Marseille
