Adjustable wrenches to be used as hammer only while Standing under boat on lift!!

Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise.

Everyone knows that you use Vice-Grips and not an adjustable wrench for that.  The locking mechanism on the Vice-Grips is a much better hammer.  What a hack-job.

Ajustable wrench = Shifting spanner downunder or more commonly shortened to "shifter" Smile

Can be used as a hammer when changing the prop on a lift or like I have seen CCF members do while still in the water at GL. LOL

It seems like if you looked around a little at the Acme page you linked with the video on it, you'd find their "traditional weekend saver kit" that the girl in the video is using.

Here's a link in case you can't find it 


It comes with the adjustable wrench as part of the kit.

Maybe the kit was put together by the marketing department or maybe one of the secretaries..............or maybe by their engineering department.

I think they know what a hammer is, since the "harmonic weekend saver kit." comes with an adjustable wrench and a hammer.to whack that harmonic prop knocker with unlike the "traditional weekend saver kit"

You can call it backyard hacking, they probably call it something else like tested and approved by their engineering department.  

I know, I know..............they don't meet Pete's standards, but then again they don't quite follow their own written instructions either in the video.

Any well equipped backyard hack knows there are an assortment of multipurpose wrenches like in the link below 


as for me................I'd probably just find a rock to smack it with Wink

This is crazy! Acme used to have a write up on properly lapping the new prop to the shaft, I can’t believe they didn’t mention lapping. Also inscribing a line on the shaft to ensure prop is slid as far forward as possible. Good thing the video was for wakeboarders. Who cares if their props vibrate?

OK, opening the can of worms.
With todays CNC equipment and the accuracy of the equipment, I see no reason to waste time lapping the prop.
If the shaft and the prop are manufactured on CNC equipment then the tapers have to be the same.
The prop is programmed with the starting diameter and the finish diameter along with the starting and finish lengths.  The shaft is given the same dimensions. If the machinery is accurate then the two have to be the same.  (easily within .0005 inch)
In the old days the lathe was set up with a taper attachment and could vary a fair amount.  Then the prop was either bored with a taper attachment or reamed with a taper reamer.  Those methods required extra work to get them to match.
Pete (cause I know you will be first to oppose this) how is the drill chuck on a drill press or lathe tailstock held in?? With an unlapped Morse Taper.   Just my  $.02  cause I worked in aerospace machining since late '60'sWinkWink

Having run into this before on lapping props to shaft taper.
Reminder shaft builder is not same machine shop as prop builder.
machine Tools do differ from shop to shop. That was one of the things that was better constant when the prop manufacturer is the same shop as the shaft manufacturer.
My problem is sure as heck i lap a prop and second run down the slalom course i hit a turtle and bend a blade...not worth the effort!

On my third ACME prop on my boat... Never lapped one, just put it on and go.
Never had any problems or vibrations worth mentionning...

Machine tools do vary, agreed.  BUT CNC machines don't vary.  Blue print dimensions for the taper are the same no matter whether for the prop or the shaft.  All manufacturers are held to the same dimensions  Machine tools are no longer the norm
  Doubt that the factory boat builders ever lap.  Waste of their time.
We quit lapping surfaces in the '80's.
Lap if you care to.

Dave,
I don't feel your apology is needed because I think Duane is missing an important issue. Just as Jody mentioned, all machining isn't the "perfect" CNC standards he has mentioned especially when you match old to new or even new to new from different sources. The old to new comes to play since there are many out there upgrading to the newer CNC props on older boats with older prop shafts. Then I've found the new to new doesn't always work ether. In recent years, I've done 4 double taper prop shafts 3 ARE's and 1 GP. All tapers were slightly off and required lapping. I was surprised that even from the same manufacturer the tappered bore couplings at the trans end didn't match the tapered shafts. The props I've done all need lapping no matter CNC or old cast hand worked.

LAP your props people.

Duane,
How many props have you installed and have you checked there tappers?

Pete, If you spent more time reading my posts thoroughly instead of just picking things apart then you would have noticed what I initially said.
You ask how many I have lapped?  Don't need to cause I know they are now machined to exacting standards.  I know my field of expertise.  You need to study more on modern machine practices and then you would understand what I am trying to tell you.
I also stated "lap if you want" but you are wasting time.  We all have our fields.  Mine was working in tolerances that occasionally were 
+ or -  .000050.  Yes, 50 millions of an inch.     That is 1/2 of a .0001, one ten thousand of inch. 
I don't know squat about Fluid Dynamics like you do but I know CNC machining.
Thanks and have a good evening
End of discussion.

Duane,
Sorry you feel I haven't read your comments, but I ensure you I have. I ask you to read the context of this thread again and undersatnd what it's about. The lapping is about what's out there concerning prop and shaft tapers and not what can be done with CNC machining. It's a suggestion for best practices I and as Jody mentions encourage. Jody has probably changed more props than I ever will in my life. 

Acme propeller who I'd say makes the most CNC props also states:
"To help ensure vibration free operation, the propeller must be properly mated to the shaft taper"
"The tapers of the shaft and propeller should be in contact over at least 75% of their surface area to transmit power effectively and without undue stress"
" If tapers are not in proper contact, but tapers ARE to the same speccification. a proper lapping compound can be used to seat the propeller to the shaft taper"

Have you heard about CC's problem with breaking prop shafts on the big G boat? I have a friend with the problem who's gone through I believe 5 or 6 shafts. CC did try several different shaft alloys without success but then the theory of improper taper contact came up. This to me was logical because his shaft breakage was in the middle of the taper. The last attempt to correct the breakage included lapping the prop to the taper and so far it's worked since the early summer. 

Also of concern of mine is the surface finish of the CNC bores I've seen. I'm certainly not the expert I believe you are but at best, I'd say it's no better than about a 352 RMS.  To me, that surface finish sure can't help the contact area. 

I appreciate your comments on CNC machining and do respect your machining knowledge.

In this case the theory that worked this summer was lapping. I've mentioned before that I believe 100% of the torque can be transmitted via tha taper and Acme says 70% goes through the taper. There are many examples where tapers are used only. I remember Eric saying that some of the internals in transmissions are taper only. So, in this case of the G braking shafts a fully lapped and seated prop has worked.

I'm not so sure of that Pete - I think that was a theory and it didn't work out. I think the keyway being broached too far up the shaft was what was found.. The old ones you could see the keyway when the prop was mounted,the new ones prop covered the keyway completely on the pictures I saw on PN. Couple of cable ties and some black tape would fix it right up
