JonC Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Once he cleans his prop up it should ring like a bell when struck. If it is turning pink then it’s on it’s way out, though I’m sure it’s all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 You have just copied my work with a photo added. Charlatan.

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...

suzook12 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Clearly the advert is struggling with the difference between a set screw and a bolt.... GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do mention both Steve, although for the uninitiated The picture shows set screws. For Jon C, the allen word refers to the hexagon recess to allow an allen key to fit. A set screw is threaded for the full length of the stated diameter whereas a bolt is only threaded partially to leave the full shank diameter up as far as the head. The set screws pictured are referred to as socket head or cap screws. Various other heads are available, the most common being countersink, hexagon and button head. Grub screws have no head at all, the hexagon recess is within the screw diameter. In use the grub screw length is usually specified such that it does not extend out further than the part it is securing. Sorry about the lecture as I am sure most of our readers are fully aware of all this. Geoff. ☺️ suzook12, Maverick and Andy135 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Ok you bunch of tossers, if I was to say a set screw with an capped head that requires an Allen key would that be better? I am just going to ban all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Was it your advert then Jon?? I think the correct terminology would be: M8 x 100 socket cap set screws A4/70......... 🤣 NUTS!!!! You'll need nuts to go with them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
