Desperately seeking AB 5077B prop

[Rudi Arnesen]

My son is racing 7,5 offshore and we was testing today and hit something in the water.

One of the blades snap off.

I am therefore looking for a pair of AB Billet prop 5077B

If you have a couple of these I pay well for them

Please shoot me a e-mail

I've got a pair of 5083/3 blades if your interested???

 

[Rudi Arnesen]

HI

Thanks, but I have 3 of them myself.

That is a great prop, but on my boat thats not the best choice.

I am guessing finding replacement props for the billet props Andy made is gonna be very tough. The 5077b Allan had was sold to Terry Flynn and Terry was not interested in selling when we spoke at the race over this past weekend....... Good Luck

Thanks for the support

I do believe it will be hard to find, but somebody must have one laying around.

I think these propeller wont last forever. This is the 3 prop that comes apart, and they all break at the same point. At the root of the propeller blade.

You said your son hit something, that i'll do it every time.

i've had 2 of the 3857's break at the same place as rudi. i think the blades are too thin for the alloy used. too much flex. but, i've got 1 more left B) . i believe i read that andy was doing these first runs as 'proof of concept', & was planning on using a better grade/alloy after the blade profiles were finalized. then the bottom fell out .........

I have begun making molds for some of the CNC props so we can make castings.

Let me know what some of you may be looking for.

I don't have a 5077B so if someone has a good one to loan as a pattern that would be great.

Andy,

Just a thought, but If you have the 3D CAD file for it you could always have them printed in wax via stereolithography, then lost wax cast. Also takes care of any shrinkage issues from using a prop as a plug.

Have no idea what the molding process intails...but I take it one, with one of the three blades broken off, is not going to work?

Rudi,
