Cosa tratta questo video

Annual greasing and zinc replacement on a Max-Prop feathering propeller, performed with the boat hauled out.Watch Alex sprays the grease nipples with WD-40 before loosening them, then works through each fitting.0:06 The existing zinc is removed and inspected; it shows less than 50% consumption, but Alex replaces it anyway since the boat is already out of the water.0:43 Cotter pins are checked and seated after reassembly, though a small gap at the bottom of the zinc fitting requires follow-up.1:22 The video covers only the hands-on procedure — accessing grease nipples, applying grease, swapping the zinc, and verifying cotter pins — without specifying grease type, torque values, or the full reassembly sequence. The practical takeaway: haul-out is the logical trigger for Max-Prop maintenance regardless of zinc wear level, since re-entry costs make a second haulout impractical.
