[C320-list] Kiwi Prop

[Amiraults Family]

Colin:

I have one, and I dealt with the Canadian rep in B.C. When I supplied my
boat/engine/trans information they determined that I required a 16.5"
diameter, with 22 degree pitch and 1" taper bore. If this in fact what I was
sent; well,  it works just fine since its 2008 install. 

Yours will be used. Since 2008 there has been a design change that
eliminates the need for an o-ring at the base of each blade. There is a
requirement to yearly grease the prop. Here in Canada with boats hauled out
for the winter freeze I opted to do the re-greasing as a spring commission
task - only once. Water trapped inside the blades froze and forced out two
of the o-rings; requiring a request from the maker for replacements as the
size was not available locally. Now I force out this water during the fall
re-grease.

Keep warm.
