Mark, We have a MaxProp folding 3 blade on our S2-27. 12x9.2 set at a 22 degree pitch if the documentation I have is still accurate. We have a 2GM20 in our boat not the 1GM10. I haven't checked the

Marc, The important question is what RPM were you able achieve @ full throttle? (BTW, often tachometers maybe off by 10-15% and need calibrating with a strobe). Ideally you should be able to get max

I had my first run last weekend with my 12 X 10 Martec two blade this weekend. Pushed it right up to 5.5 knots, might be able to squeak a little more but wouldn't want to run the engine that hard for

Hi Mark, I measured my prop last weekend. It is 12" (can't find a pitch marking). and leaves about 1-1/4" clearance to the hull. I max out at about 5.5 knots, so you may already have the highest

For those like me that went nuts trying to get the screws off the water impeller, I have found a solution. A "Yankee" offset wratcheting screwdriver part number 3400. It is an antique but is available

I just bought a 12 X 10 Martec folding but it's not installed yet. Most of what I found pointed to a 13 X 9 as the recommended size, but I don't do much motoring and found a good deal on this one. My

I am interested in what props you with Yanmars are using. I have always had a 14x10 which it really too long as there is only about 1/4 inch between the top of the prop and the hull. I can run about

I plan to start mine this week, but I have no intention of taking them off! Just not worth the hassle, but I live 15 minutes from my boat so it's no problem to go back and forth as I add coats of

Hi Allen, i did this two years ago. Not that hard of a job. The hardest part was removing two bolts as they were on quite tight....and i wore down the screwhead...careful use of dremel tool did the

Hi Allen, ? The Yahoo S2 Yachts group just had a nice, long exchange about this topic about three weeks ago. ? ? It can be a can o' worms if you have had any water infiltration though the bolt

Has anyone removed the teak grab rails on the cabin roof for refinishing? Any particular problems or suggestions? Is it better to leave them on and refinish them in place? Any ideas or suggestions

Hey there George! I remember yours and how well it worked out - yep, I'm looking at the six foot model. Funny thing -- I actually have more headroom under the boom on this boat than I did on the

Hey Mark, I put a Taylormade generic bimini on mine some years ago.? Don't remember where I got it.? iboats.com maybe.?? It's 36 in high and four feet front to back.? It gives me a couple inches

I'd love to have a generic solution to the bimini as well. Please let us know what you find that works. Bob

So I'm a die hard lover of biminis in the summer, but my boat doesn't have one. Looks like it'll be no problem given the great clearance under the boom, just curious if others have installed them and

Just measured a few weeks ago -- shaft is 3/4. Packing is fairly malleable if its anywhere close. -Mark

anyone remember the appropriate sized shaft packing? my assumption is we all have 3/4" shafts and same size stuffing boxes...

dave, i too have hex head bolts..P.O. installed..a bit tiny..i use either a small crescent wrench or needlenose pliers as the one bolt behind the shaft pulley is a pita...

Thanks, Bob. Great idea. Is there enough clearance to use either a socket or a box-end wrench, or do you have to use a open-end wrench? --Dave S.

No Speedseal, but I swapped the slotted screws for hex head bolts. It makes a huge difference when changing the impeller. Still need fresh gaskets though. Bob Typos from my iPhone
