Pict. 9 – Transmission oil tank
2.2.3 Propeller
CAUTION !
Before any inspection or work, make sure
the engine is stopped and the fuel tank shut off.
Any mechanic work must should be done by skilled
workers with appropriate tools and safety equipment.
The H6 AUTOPROP, diameter 566 mm is a three-blade feathering bronze propeller. Each
blade is 360° free which allows optimal pitch at any power setting and therefore maximum
thrust, even reversing. Also, using the free blade rotation, the prop feathers automatically
when the engine is stopped, reducing its braking surface and resultant drag.
Remark : in case of damage on the AUTOPROP, a spare 3 fixed-blade propeller can be
fitted. It is originally located under the front cabin starboard berth. Refer to chapter 4.5.3
for replacing instructions.
AUTOPROP cleanness :
If the AUTOPROP is even a little fouled, the blades might not take the same pitch and
therefore make vibrations and more fuel consumption.
Check the fouling on the AUTOPROP (and clean it if needed) especially after remaining
stationary 1 or 2 months in hot and sunny waters.
