I've been a diver for 4 years, and it's rare to have a prop pull go this smooth. Excellent job, the tapping made all the difference. That prop puller is f****** sick!
thats the third video I watch about removing a prop,and you are the only guy actually using leverage and laws of physics/engineering to do the job. Its fast and easy ! Nicely done .
This is one of the more fascinating videos I've seen. You ever drop tools and have to dive down to the bottom to get them? The murkiness of that water is unsettling haha.
That's pretty impressive! I would think those heavy tools would take you straight to the bottom! LOL And if it were me, I most certainly would have lost the nut or the shaft key... And time-wise, in comparison, it took me three hours to remove the stuck rear rotor on my Dodge Caravan...working in the garage, on dry land, without the burden of scuba gear...lol
Thanks! What you don’t see in the video is my feet kicking furiously to stay afloat 😁😅 Luckily this job went super smooth and made for a great video, I’ve done others that took a lot longer 👍🏻👍🏻
@jonny-b I do these for a local mechanic I guess he needs the shaft out of the way to work on the transmission. Doing it in the water saved the haul out fees plus lay days in the ship yard. The shaft was out for 2 weeks
Have you ever fixed or cleaned big propellers? I want to know how it is the feeling about being in front of. Did you feel fear? How to deal with it? How it was your first time in this job? It gives me chills only imagining!
Even with the possibility of anyone starting the engines or putting the prop in gear being removed I’d still be scared.. there was even a case some years ago where a diver was almost killed by a bow thruster on a massive cargo ship even tho they were told someone’s down there working on repairing it
The openings are plugged up from both sides to keep the water out. Cost a lot less to do it in the slip otherwise would have to pay for a haul out and lay days in the shipyard. Shaft was out for 2 weeks so the mechanic could work on the engine 👍🏻👍🏻
It was a wood bung. I wrapped a cloth around it because the one I had was a little too small. Also the mechanic plugged it from the inside, not sure what he used 👍🏻
Excellent video, job went nicely. Is the scissor puller your favorite? Vs the C-Clamp, Walter (u-shaped & solid plates with long bolts), or other pullers?
I like using the algonac (scissor puller) because it’s quick and easy to use but the plate puller is a better puller it’s stronger and pulls straight. The algonac only works for 3 blade props. 4 blade props usually don’t have enough clearance between the blades
@@warnerdiving Thanks, great info ! I forgot to ask about one other puller, the 'Prop Knocker'. Have you tried that? I'm going to buy a prop puller for my boat (KK39) and appreciate your experienced advice. I realize the prop knocker will fit only one size shaft.
I’ve never heard of the prop knocker so I looked it up. not sure how well it would work. But for the price of one wouldn’t be much loss if you tried it out and it didn’t work. Looks like it uses vibration to unseat the prop, which I usually do when the puller is under load (tap the hub with a hammer)
@@warnerdiving Some swear by them, say they work every time; others say whacking the end of the shaft will damage the transmission output/thrust bearings. Dunno.
Excellent work. Have a question. Every time they have pulled a propeller on the hard they use heat to make it pop. Under the water it seems the propeller comes off a tad easier. Is that true?

Thanks yeah you wanna tap on it to give some vibration helps pop it off 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks man yeah I’ve dropped tools occasionally. I’ve even done it in some of my other videos haha 😂
RESPECT FOR PROFESSIONALLY DONE WORK!!!
Fantastic coordination. Certainly not the first time. Well done

@@warnerdiving Bet you had sore thighs for a couple days haha was this done like this simply for necessity? No place to dock at? Interesting video.

Awesome job man!
Thanks!
So smoothly., Quick question what you is rate in the state you live in. Thanks in advance!!
Should use WD40, quick spray on the nut and threads, leave it to soak, job done !
Nice work tuff job good skillz I would hire you any day bud keep up the good work
Thx for sharing. Something New for me
Have you ever fixed or cleaned big propellers? I want to know how it is the feeling about being in front of. Did you feel fear? How to deal with it? How it was your first time in this job?
It gives me chills only imagining!
When I first started it was a little creepy being under there. But after 20 years of doing this work I’ve gotten used to it 👍🏻
Even with the possibility of anyone starting the engines or putting the prop in gear being removed I’d still be scared.. there was even a case some years ago where a diver was almost killed by a bow thruster on a massive cargo ship even tho they were told someone’s down there working on repairing it
OH man wearing headphones with that 8:29 metal on metal scraping gahhhh
We are going to get along great nice work
Where did you get the prop puller from?
Well that just saved me a dry dock
Another successful day in the Bayside!
This makes me want to buy me a full suit for my own maintenance needs...
Wow nice video
Nice job ! Good and fast 💪
Good work,but all tools must with you,go up down again and again
Нахуй я это досмотрел до конца? Лайк на всякий случай оставлю
is scuba gear always needed or do you think you can do it with a snorkel?
I mean it could be done but it would take a lot longer
I wonder if a prop removal is the equivalent of a boot on a car.......
what is the tool to that you used to pull out the shaft ? Name please
Can the bearings be replaced while under water like this?
Yes 👍🏻
Great video. Why did they need removed?
Mechanic needed the shaft out to work on the engine 👍🏻
Oh ok cool. Gonna learn how to dive one day, but got to learn how to swim first lol. Want to see great barrier reef one day
o.O why not do that on land/dock? after remove the shaft, engine room will get flood :(
The openings are plugged up from both sides to keep the water out. Cost a lot less to do it in the slip otherwise would have to pay for a haul out and lay days in the shipyard. Shaft was out for 2 weeks so the mechanic could work on the engine 👍🏻👍🏻
Shaft removal what was used to plug shaft hole? Any issues with packing.
Plugged from both sides with wooden bungs
молодцы хорошо сработано.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Dude do you use air compressor to breathe?
Yeah I have a compressor mounted into the skiff I work out of it runs off of (4) 6 volt batteries
God job
hey man good job ok il ask sharks any big one around just asking take care and good job
Thanks man I haven’t seen any in the 20 years I’ve been out there but you never know haha 😅😱
What materail do you use for the plug
It was a wood bung. I wrapped a cloth around it because the one I had was a little too small. Also the mechanic plugged it from the inside, not sure what he used 👍🏻
@@warnerdiving thank you so much. Going to repair it today

Good
Главное гайку не уронить
If I do I will hire a diver to retrieve it 😉😅
what about the shark 🦈 behind you
He’s ok he doesn’t bite that hard 😁
good
8:29 my ears hurt
Nails on a chalkboard lol 😅
Yes
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brasil
Is that a 330?
класс
Ещё один вариант как можно потопить лодку!!!
А на берег нельзя было вытащить это корыто?
Well the boat didn’t sink so everything is good 👍🏻 👍🏻
Be gentle with the shaft
Far cry geam
i would have pulled the boat
Why waste your time, or pay $800 if you have to use the hoist. Just have a diver do it for a few hundred dollars.
U
Excellent work. Have a question. Every time they have pulled a propeller on the hard they use heat to make it pop. Under the water it seems the propeller comes off a tad easier. Is that true?
THE SCRATCHING AT 8:34 OH MY GOD NOOO MY EARSSSS
😅😅😅
What was wrong with it it?
Nothing the mechanic needed it out to work on the transmission 👍🏻
@@warnerdiving underwater? Or hes gotta pull out driveshaft?
@@warnerdiving disregard that
Guy is not even out of breath at any point
He has a oxygen tank
@@irinachiselenco3574 totally not hard work underwater at all...
