Prop lost
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:52 pm
New to this forum and looking for some advice.
A month ago I bought a fiberglass Ray Wright Delta 3.5L V6 Ford Essex. Beautiful condition and so so happy. Couldn't wait to get it in the water.
2 weeks ago I got it to the Marina on Loch Tay in Scotland where I live. Saturday we had a fantastic time on her but on Sunday on the way back in something went wrong and we paddled back to the pontoon at the Marina. Looking for the problem we noticed the prop was no longer there and at the bottom of the loch. I had a friend diver who has searched for it but bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. I am struggling to find a replacement prop, key and nut. Any help or suggestions so so appreciated. I believe it's a 3/4 inch shaft with 1/16 taper. Prop Bronze 10"x10"
Although these sizes may not be accurate.
