It wont be long now! - ATLANTIS PROPELLER

[atlantis]

Just wanted to remind everyone that we have 8 sets of Prop Pullers available for your FREE use! Prop Scan computer checks for Class 1 Tolerance are FREE and take about 10 minutes! Let us show you the pitch/section shape differences (if your props aren't Class 1) that result in slippage- wasting fuel with each revolution and reducing speed.

Many of you have already seen the difference a Class 1 propeller provides- don't forget our Class 1 ISO 484/2 Maintenance Tune (which is very popular this year) is 1/2 the price of a Reman. A 18" 4 blade wheel is $125!!

Thanks again to all who brought there props in early this year and if you have any propeller related questions at all please don't hesitate to call!

Ray/ATLANTIS

Hey Ray-

Just putting up a big Thank You for your help with the wheels I dropped off in AC (& for saving me a trip west).

All the Best,
Glenn

Your welcome Glenn! Will give you a call on our next Pt. Pleasant run...

For those interested in the benefits of computerized tuning- here is a 4 blade prop we recently reconditioned. The first 2 pics are typical of what we see in wheels that have been repaired or have had pitch adjustments by 'traditional' methods...









The first pic is the initial measurement bar graph. Notice that the overall pitch (measured mean) is a 18.00- Not bad right?? But look at the variation between blades and then notice the repair line graph at radius 7. The red line (although straight) is a representation of the curve of a propeller blade with "theoretical and mathematical" perfect 18" pitch. It is a portion of a "true" helix.

The computer overlays the actual blade measurements onto this perfect representation-showing the techs where adjustments must be made. The left of the screen is the leading edge and the right is trailing. On this prop all the leading edges were down. The trailing edge of blade 1 needs to go down and 3 and 4 need to go up.

What does all this mean? Even though the overall theoretical pitch of this prop is 18"- it will never achieve even close to that. It is slipping with each revolution,wasting fuel and hurting performance...

The 3rd and 4th pics are the final measurements of the completed prop. Notice overall pitch has been kept the same!!! (the customer said the props were achieving rated wot RPM for his engines so we did not change overall pitch!)

We only adjusted the DESIGN. The "grip" as some would say.

We asked the customer to report back after trial- but we are confident in improved performance!!

Thank you for reading, I hope this helps explain what we do!

Hi Ray,
I am getting my starboard engine overhauled on the 37 Bertram. As soon as the weather breaks I will come by and borrow a puller so I can get the props cleaned and balanced.

What is your opinion on using PropSpeed?

[atlantis]

Dr. Mike- sounds good! We have 5 sets of pullers out as I type!

Capt Jim- Thanks! Hope all is well....dying to get back out on the water again!

Bill22- There have been many underwater coatings developed over the years.... the problem was always getting them to stay on the pressure face of the propeller. If properly applied Propspeed seems to adhere the best. We have heard nothing but positive feedback from our customers who use it.

The perfect time for application is after your wheels have been remaned to Class 1 ISO Standards!

Thanks, Atlantis
