The Prop That Fits Any Gearbox — Here’s How | S2 Ep.74

In this video, we walk through the installation of our unique J Propeller using the new parts J Prop sent back to fit our new ZF saildrive. Our J Prop is built for adaptability and longevity: - The outer body is made in three parts, so it can always be re-machined in the future to remove wear and ensure no play. - The interior part can be modified to fit other saildrives or gearboxes. From the cylindrical spacer to fully greasing and securing the prop, we cover all the small but essential details that make a big difference for this prop install. 💡 Learn more about the special features of our J Prop in our previous video: https://youtu.be/uZ2-jJDYUFI?si=GNjEJzkwzEw9TSKc At the end, we also show a special moment: painting all our Patreon supporters’ names on the hull with antifoul — your support literally sails with us! We also have two new behind-the-scenes videos on our Patreon: - Propeller pitch experiment: See how changing the pitch can save fuel, improve performance, and even affect cargo ship efficiency. - DIY saildrive seal: Timo builds a custom saildrive seal out of a rubber shoe 😄, a clever little DIY fix.
