Hello, Since yesterday we are in Turkey. As I understand a lot of places to anchor here need a stern line. I am wondering what length and diameter/strength of rope I should buy. Any suggestions? Thank

Thank you all. Bill, thanks for pointing out also the seal issue.

I had to repair my bow thruster a few days ago. I found it very difficult to push the propeller in/over the hub afterwards. I had to hammer it in, what can not be the right way to do it, but without

That was all the stuff that had been down there for decades. This is from the first time I tackled this job after buying the boat. -Charlie Kopp -Cloud Seven (SM#50)

Thanks Slavko, when you fit the new hub and propeller be sure 1) you pin the hub to the shaft. 2) the propeller fits fully and snugly to the hub, pushed completely into place. 3) you tighten

Danny, you have put it as it happened. I know that maneuvering to port side propeller is pushing towards the body of bow thruster and when maundering to starboard side propeller is pulling and all

To Mark. Yes I do. This time it was at least 15 second after I used it for moving to port side. -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Croatia

Slavko, Are just losing the prop or the hub as well? Pat SM Shenanigans Sassafras River , Md.

Are you allowing the propeller to stop between left-right thrust? With best regards, Mark Skipper Sailing

Sorry to come back with this issue. Today I lost propeller again when I was going stern to my berth in marina. All was ok when I was using bow truster to move boat to port side. When I tried to move

Nick, Great that you are doing the repair work using fiberglass and Epoxy versus just using a filler. Might be stronger than it was originally. James SV Sueno Maramu #220

Thank you for your feedback! I think I will do a tie-off method and adjust the helm from time to time to new positions as not to stress the center teeth on the rack. Perhaps that is the best we can

I did think that I would grind out the ding, and leave it to dry out, but after grinding it clearly was dry, the worst bit being maybe 5-10mm deep after grinding. Built up with fibreglass and epoxy
