Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi Guys,
What's the best method for getting a prop off? I am going to send mine back to Austral to change the pitch from 12 to 14 to give me more speed. Any ideas would be great.
Cheers Chris

Ive taken them off without a prop puller but if your not careful you will damge the prop. Firstly you need two people both have big hammers . make sure the prop nut is loose but still on the shaft so you dont wreck the thread. Get two pieces of hardwood one at the front of the prop hub and one resting on the prop nut. If you time the blows together the prop will come off easily. Again dont blame me if you stuff the prop .

Thats how i use to do it and works every time. Untill u smash the prop. My puller works no dramas and is safe as houses. Ill text ya a pic of mine dave. Easy to make and easy to use on your own

Well i would have but dont have ya number any more it seems

Hi Brian
I have just texted you my number.
Cheers Chris

Hi Brian,
any chance of posting a picture of the prop puller on the forum so we can all have a look at it Nick. Also will you be out at Lanacoorie this weekend at all? Would love to check out the new boat and hopefully will be spending the weeken d at Baringhup. Regards Nick

I have one here somewhere which I made out of a very old large forged G Clamp - worked beautifully

hey nick, i knew someone would ask for it to be posted. i would but got no idea how to get it saved from my email which i text myself from my phone. i can email it to someone if they want to put it up. ???????????
or i can text you the pic and you can stick it up here or keep for yaself?? haha
im hopeing ill be at lannecoorie saturday morning for another run but it just depends if i get everything finished before another go. tonite i made up some new cav mounted water pckups and started plumbing them so just need some more fittings.
if i go ill certainly post on here and let you know.
