SPUN HUB - QUICK QUESTION ON TWIN ENGINE SETUP

[peterb]

I have twin Yamaha 150's on my old SeaCraft. Some rope got caught on one of the stainless steel props this evening.

When I tried stepping on the engines, the one that had the rope caught acted like I had spun the hub. The prop in question is a 17ML. I will take the prop & hub to a nearby prop repair shop. In the mean time would it be possible or foolhardy to temporarily use an aluminum prop?

I am on vacation this week and want to get back to using the boat asap, but don't want to do anything to stupid.

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Peter

Re: SPUN HUB - QUICK QUESTION ON TWIN ENGINE SETUP

as long as the rotation,pitch and diameter are close its ok. you may have to play with the throttles a bit to keep the engines in the same >RPM band but it something I have seen before.
