Sailing Solo In Norfolk - Max Prop - Great Bridge Free Dock - Explore With Perseverance (Episode 22)

In this episode on Explore with Perseverance Josh sails solo from the Phoebus anchorage on the north side of Norfolk to the Great Bridge Free Dock on the south side of Norfolk. When Josh thinks something is wrapped around the prop or keep he stops at the Tidewater marina so a diver an go check it out. While down there the diver also changed our pitch bolt from "18 degrees" to "20 degrees". He also has a quick tip for moving and tightening the bolt for the alternator belt. Something we recently learned... If you have even a little rust where you V belt rests it will tare it up which makes our engine full of rubber dust. We would love to get a high output alternator with a serpentine belt to avoid this problem in the first place. These serpentine belts are also a lot easier to replace than our V belt. If you have any questions please let us know in the comments below! We should do a video on this but our 20 "degrees" of pitch on the prop means it should move the boat 20 inches through the water with one revolution of the propeller.
