colin loach

Thank again for all your replies, i have straighten it the best i can but will get a thicker propeller put on once i can find out about the size and pitch thanks colin

Thank all for your help, i think i will replace the propeller with a thicker grade, but not sure how to get it off while in the water. there seems to be a cone shape cover on the spline and i cannot see the split pin. any ideas would be much appreciated Thanks Colin

i have a isuzu 42 Liverpool 2008 boat, and for the second time in 8 months i have bent the propeller on something below the water line. there was no big bang just a sound of wood hitting the blade. could this be a sign of a bad designed or thin propeller, or just bad luck. i have straightened the best i can, the last one cost £800 to replace. your thoughts please. Colin

Many thanks all

Hi all Dose anyone know where i can buy a thermostate from, and could a car thermostate fit my engine. Thanks Colin.

i agree, my volt meter is not working properly.

Just found out from engine plus that tick over should be about 850 revs.

I think your wright it may be better to adjust by ear in case the rev meter is incorrect.Thanks Colin

It on;ly rattles when i slow down from a 1000 revs to 500 revs to pass boats and only for a split second still in gear, its more of a shake than a rattle

Hi All, dose anyone know what the idle speed on the rev metre should be on my isuzu 42 engine. At the moment it runs at about 500 but the engine shakes when it slows down but when the tick over is sped up to 700 everything is ok .thanks colin.

Thanks all for your comments I’m going on the thames and could take water on through the vent so I was thinking of covering it and venting into the boat until I return to the canals later Colin.

Hi all can anyone tell how much carbon monoxide a gas pilot light would give off in a narrow boat that vent in side the boat from a gas fridge. Thanks Colin

Thanks for all your advise it is much appreciated Colin.
