Cosa tratta questo video
Adam and Khiara haul their boat, Millennial Falcon, at Spice Island Marina in Grenada to address persistent vibration and noise issues caused by a newly installed Brunton's feathering propeller.0:34 After confirming the propeller was not key-bound, Adam determines the shaft requires shortening to eliminate a spacer that interfered with the proper fit on the tapered shaft.1:33 He uses a gear puller to remove the propeller, laps the joints to ensure a proper friction fit, and files the key to ensure the propeller sits entirely on the shaft taper rather than the key.11:37 To accommodate the new fit, he cuts a half-inch off the end of the propeller shaft, permanently removing the existing split-pin hole.14:19 While in the yard, the crew also paints the hull and discusses plans for a new whip antenna for their Iridium Go system.22:09 As Grenada closes its borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the crew accelerates their maintenance schedule to return to the water.13:19
