Race propeller fun
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In this video I modify a brass cleaver race propeller to suit a smaller motor than the prop was designed for. I re-spline the bush, reduce the propellers diameter, change the tip shape, add cupping and balance.
Hope this helps for those wanting to play with props at home, check out my other videos on balancing propellers at home and modifying propellers.
All the best 👍
Who needs a million dollar factory when we have house hold garage and we can do shit ourselves good job let's go racing

Dude your content is just amazing! Where do you get the splined bushing from? From another prop, or can you buy these somewhere? Cheers mate, kepp up this great Work. Lots of love from germany ❤
Thanks heaps champ 👍
Yeah I take them from old props. You can buy new ones but cheaper from old wrecked props.
Cheers 🍻

I'm not sure how I ended up on your channel, but I will say this, you are a bit of an aussie innovator. I have subscribed and one day i would love a chat with you...if you're ever in the inner west. All the best
Hi mate 👋
Welcome aboard, and thanks for the support.

Hey buddy, really want to get in touch with you to make a racing propeller for my 10Kw electric lightweight boat. How can we talk?
Hi Champion,
I will try setup a messenger account on Facebook.
Will let you know when it’s done (should be a few days)
ps: at this stage I am not making propellers
cheers 🍻

I need that prop or one like it asap! PLEASE HELP ME GET MY HANDS ON ONE!!!
Hi mate,
yeah i know the feeling 😢
unfortunately that prop is a one off, I don’t make props, I was just lucky enough to have the prop to modify.
cheers 🍻

How can buy this propeller and how much this price Sir.....?
Hi Mate,
I know the feeling but unfortunately that propeller is a one only and not able to purchase.
cheers 🍻

Good stuff! I like the way you fitted the prop with the stainless wire👍
Firstly
EVERYONE CHECK OUT THIS GUYS CHANNEL
ITS AWESOME 👏
Hi Mate,
It works really well for a number of things, I’m sure you will pin something like that too. I have also drilled and tapped a thread in the same manner to install long grub screws between a 32mm bright bar and some hubs on a off road buggy I made which is the same idea.
keep up the good work champ
cheers 🍻

I’ve binged watched many of your videos. I’ve been thinking It would be much easier if you put them in groups.
“Propeller mods”
“5hp outboard mods” etc.
Loving what you’re doing though! You’ve really got me wanting to see how fast I can get my small boat to go with a 5hp!!!
I can’t get enough of it!
Great idea!
Thanks for your support and for the input.
I will Definitely check out how to do that.
Cheers 🍻

As always, great content and delivery!
Hi mate,
Thanks for your encouragement, I really appreciate it.
All the best

I was a little heart broken when ya wacked that cleaver into a drag prop. Your awesome backyard machine work, and the fact that it works on your boat, made up for it. Great work!
Thanks mate 👍
Appreciate your encouragement 😁
It was actually a failed casting that I got many years ago and the tips of the cleaver where too thin so cutting them off for a smaller motor was my plan.
Went more the chopper style as it’s going to be used on a monohull and I have another cleaver too for that boat.
All the best
Cheers 🍻

Hi mate,
thanks for your comments 👍 I’m enjoying playing with this stuff.
cheers 🍻

Well done mate
Cheers mate 🍻
I find your Vids easy to watch and learn heaps!
Thanks mate,
I enjoy sharing this stuff and also the reason I put vids up is to try to help people learn more or become confident enough to try something new.
Really appreciate your support.
Cheers

Absolutely amazing transformation brother.
Cheers mate 👍
All the best

Great episode as always! I love it when you do pretty hardcore modifications with very basic tools, impressive. Using the stainless rod to lock the new splines was also a great idea!
Hi Mate,
Thanks 👍 I really appreciate your encouragement.
Yeah, the pins really work well to lock the splines, I have used that technique with much larger hp props too.
cheers 🍻
Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Where did you get that propellor from
Hi mate,
It was a failed casting for a bigger motor that I bought many years ago hoping that I could use for a smaller hp motor.
I think only 8 were made
Cheers 🍻
Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Very nice indeed. Well done.
Hi mate,
Thanks 😊 I really appreciate your comments.
I had heaps of fun making that.

The amount of time you say 'yeah' makes it hard to watch....
Hi mate,
Thanks for your input, I will try to stop, working on not saying umm too much at the moment.
Cheers 🍻

Some people are quick to criticise and I bet ain’t so perfect. What do you expect, the guy ain’t a top filmer and actor! I’d love to see that guy make a UA-cam video because I bet we could all find something to criticise! The amount of time and innovation to make that is amazing. Backyard in the shed diy style engineering at its best. Appreciate your time to film these videos and explain how it’s done. Also love the videos showing the speed tests etc. keep up the great work and videos mate. Steve from London
Hi Champion,
Thanks so much for your support and comments.
I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and see the positive in the video. I really love tinkering with outboards, boats, props etc and I try to put up vids when I can as they can help others or hopefully give people the confidence to try something new.
I do have pretty thick skin most of the time and actually going to try and get better at being more confident explaining what I’m doing or making in these videos.
All the best and cheers 🍻

I agree completely...keep up the vids bro .l race outboard drag boats and Shoot Out boats with much larger motas than yours but l always learn from your channel.
Keep it up!

@25hpboatracerman habbits are hard to break, especially when it comes to speech. Not sure if you were even aware of it, the camera and nerves often make up do funny things. The content is good though, keep it up!
