Saintly Fish Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I’m struggling to find a prop anode that will fit my prop nut cone. I’ve tried all the sizes in force4 today and none fit. Seems the shape they do only fit beneteau and jeaneau boats. Any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydavy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 if you know shaft size you could order new nut with anode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I’ll just leave it on and clean the prop in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 22 minutes ago, JonC said: Makes sense if it’s not damaged. I had to put a big set of steelsons on mine with a piece of wood jammed in it to stop the prop rotating. I can’t remember if it’s a left handed Fred? Yes I did wonder if it’s a reverse thread . Removing it would be easier for cleaning but it’s not damaged so, why risk damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisty and I can’t have a decent conversation about pulling ourselves off without you trying to wreck it. You should think yourself lucky I played along instead of pulling you up about your mate "Fred". We've had words about him before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I think you have a Radice propeller and they take Sole type anodes. You will need to either measure accurately as I believe they go up in 5mm increments. The best way would be to flatten the locking plate, jam the propeller with a lump of wood then remove the nut in the oppose direction to the props rotation. The first time I renewed them on my boat I did the measuring thing and it took 3 attempts and still go through the same pain every year lol Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they all seem to be like that, no visible thread. I thought the cone on the back of the nut was the prop anode which I assumed to be either a clamp or interference fit over the back of the nut 'land' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) The cone is part of the nut that holds the prop on. The anode fits over the cone and is held in place with an allen key threaded screw (can't remember their proper name. This screw should have a little lock tight on it to secure. similar to this Edited January 9, 2021 by Maverick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Whilst you are doing your anode check your circuit/bonding for continuity. I had a bonding cable that had corroded through and allowed for slight pitting on one of my rudders. We just caught it in time before masses of damage was done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Ok, I understand now, I don't normally get involved with the under carriage, my work is usually the oily bits inside the boat where there is lots of swearing and skinned knuckles ! ............... put a pod on the back with twin Verado's 👍 Andy135 and Odyssey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
