Here we go again….

So, Brandy Pad is out of the water yet again. We are having some changes made to our propulsion system, to remove excessive vibration at tick-over (which we use when passing moored boats). We also decided to have a different propeller fitted to see if it would improve handling and be more robust. Just as well really, since we have now bent our second propeller with an underwater strike. My suspicions about the original type of prop would seem to be vindicated. Here’s hoping the new one is more robust.
