Re: New Prop

The skin is only screwed on at this stage. Next job is to remove the skin now that it is trimmed to shape and glue and screw it on permanently.

Another fiddly process but its gotta be done.

Re: Naranderah wet together

Bob I finally received a phone call from them last week and they requested my credit card details, which I gave them. They then refunded my deposit to my credit card, less a cancellation fee of $50.

Its all good.

I just realized that I still didn't get the spelling right anyway, it's "Menkens".

Re: Inboard Speed Boat Propeller - 111/2"x 15" Mankins (steel)

Without trying to be pedantic or a smartarse. it's actually a "Menkins".

It is also a left hand rotation "elephant ear" style prop, most likely to be used on an inboard (logboat type) race boat. 15" of pitch is fairly standard for these type of props.

Re: Naranderah wet together

It would appear that getting my deposit back for the room might be a problem. Last time I was on here (16/06/16) I had just cancelled my booking and was advised that I would receive a cheque in the mail, no result so far and a phone call to day resulted in, maybe being fobbed off.
