Set Engine

A propeller is a type of fan that connects to the engine or motor of the boat. The fuel is sent through a shaft by the motor and the boat moves when the propeller rotates. Thus the propeller and the shaft are important components of any engine system of a boat. A boat cannot move forward without a shaft and a propeller.

To set a shaft and propeller you need to wear a pair of rubber gloves. This is because the propeller blades are sharp and cause deep wounds. Gather the tools for the job. You will need a screwdriver, a ratchet, waterproof grease and lapping compound.  If there is an older prop already in place remove the prop by loosening the nut using pliers or a screwdriver.

Check the prop for any damage. Fitting a damaged prop will hamper engine performance and cause damage to the entire system. Check the shaft for fishing lines, aquatic plants or any debris that has been sucked in by the rotating prop. Remove all the debris and clean the shaft with a cloth. If the debris is left in the shaft it will damage the engine and will clog the shaft and prevent fuel from reaching the propeller.  The boat will start guzzling a lot of fuel if the shaft is dirty.

Apply waterproof grease to the shaft especially to the grooved area. If there are no grooves, apply grease to the entire exposed area of the shaft. The grease will help the shaft fit easily into the shaft hole of the prop.

Check the thrust washer. The washer should be perfectly round and fit snugly on the prop. The washer should not have gouge marks. If the washer has gouge marks, it should be replaced for better performance of the boat. The cutlass bearing should be tightened for optimum performance. Inspect the washers and spacers behind the prop and replace any damaged part.

Seat the propeller on the thrust washer. Fit the shaft to the shaft hole. If the shaft has a tab washer, you need to twist the washer till it is tight. If there is a cotter pin, tighten by pressing the pin with a screwdriver and tightening it. Check the alignment of the boat. Leave the boat in water for 24 hours then check for any alignment or loose component problems. Replace any overlooked damaged parts and reinstall the prop if required.  This test is important to check if the shaft and prop are properly fitted together.

Follow the engine manual or the manual that comes with the prop for the best results. Some experts believe that the prop and shaft should be set together by lapping for the best results. If lapping is used then lapping compound should be applied to the shaft.

Removing a refitting the shaft and prop should be done if the boat shows a sudden drop in performance. If the boat is using too much fuel, the shaft should be cleaned and the prop and shaft should be reset.
