Sailing With Phoenix | Oliver · video

Hva denne videoen dekker

Oliver replaces his boat's propeller shaft coupler, installs a new feathering propeller, and upgrades to a dripless shaft seal.1:22 After removing the old, corroded coupler and drilling out a snapped bolt, he installs a new coupler and a shaft saver to protect the transmission.2:52 He replaces the traditional packing gland with a dripless seal, routing the required air bleed hose as high as possible to prevent water ingress.10:28 The installation requires a two-person effort to seat the shaft and align the set screws, which are secured with Loctite.6:48 Finally, he mounts the new feathering propeller, greasing the internal mechanism to ensure smooth folding.13:39 The feathering design aims to reduce drag while sailing, which the owner estimates could improve passage times by up to two weeks on long voyages.14:39 The installation is completed while the boat is on the hard, with final testing planned for after the vessel is relaunched.10:11
