Common Problems Solved by Yachtservice.me Technicians1. Propeller Damage (Dents, Nicks, and Cracks)1.Hitting underwater debris, rocks, or sandbars can cause
dents, chips, or cracks in the propeller blades.
- We inspect for physical damage and perform propeller repair or replacement to restore performance.
2.Propeller Shaft Misalignment- A misaligned propeller shaft can cause vibrations, loss of power, and excessive wear on engine components.
- We check for shaft alignment issues and perform necessary adjustments or realignments.
3.Cavitation and Corrosion Damage- Cavitation (bubbles forming on the propeller blades) leads to pitting, blade erosion, and efficiency loss.
- Our technicians conduct anti-cavitation inspections and apply protective coatings to prevent further damage.
4.Bent or Warped Propeller Blades- Warped blades affect boat speed, handling, and fuel efficiency.
- We check for blade deformation and offer propeller straightening or replacement.
5.Excessive Vibration and Noise- Unbalanced or damaged propellers cause excessive vibration, leading to drivetrain stress and passenger discomfort.
- We conduct propeller balancing to ensure smooth operation and reduce engine strain.
6.Poor Acceleration and Reduced Top Speed- A worn-out or incorrect propeller can cause sluggish acceleration and decreased maximum speed.
- We analyze your boat’s performance and recommend the best propeller size and pitch.
7.Overheating Engine Due to Incorrect Propeller Selection- Using the wrong propeller size or pitch can overload the engine, causing overheating and potential failure.
- We provide expert propeller selection and tuning to match your engine specifications.
8.Propeller Hub and Keyway Issues- A damaged propeller hub can lead to slipping, loss of thrust, and reduced power.
- We inspect and replace propeller hubs, keyways, and rubber bushings as needed.
9.Fouling and Marine Growth on Propeller Blades- Marine growth and barnacles can reduce propeller efficiency and increase fuel consumption.
- We provide propeller cleaning, polishing, and anti-fouling treatments to prevent buildup.
10.Loose or Worn-Out Propeller Nuts- A loose or improperly secured propeller can cause dangerous in-water failures.
- We inspect and tighten propeller nuts, ensuring proper installation and security.
