Hi all,


Firstly hello as this is my first post



Have a boat with no propellors and need to get some either made or find some that fit,


Not sure if anyone can point me in the right direction, albeit I know very little of model boats,


It's a bait boat and can't find anyone who supplies replacement parts


Kind regards

You will need to measure the diameter of the shafts first to determine the correct thread.

Thanks Bob, will verneay it and find out although it looks very thin with a thread on it


Curious as if say it has an m4 thread what stops it unscrewing itself when in reverse?

It should have a locknut which tightens on to the prop boss or even just threadlock.

Would this come with a new propellor? Sorry for dumb questions but bit green with this stuff,

Is this an angling technics bait boat sounds like one......if so just google the angling technics web site get the telephone number they will sell you one no probs at all.

I have repaired a few and all you do is to threadlock it on

Not usually but you can pick up an M4 nut easily, opt for brass whenever possible!

Hi


Right measured the threaded shaft and its an m3 fit and the hole the propellor goes inside is just under 50mm - all seems a bit under powered for size of boat,


Anyway anyone know where I can source propellors to fit? As can only find m4 at the moment


Cheers

Something cheap but effective
https://www.rcspares.uk.com/rc/product/diecast-model-kits-wooden-models-boat-fittings-billing-boats/propellor-40mm-m3-right




Slightly more expensive but well worth the money (I use these on most of my boats)http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/m3-raboesch.html




or something bespoke
http://www.prop-shop.co.uk/index.php?id=37&section=services&sub_section=products&product_type=37
Drop them an email stating what you need and they will be happy to recommend something suitable or make you your own custom prop


Any chance you could give us more info on the boat, even some pics if possible it will make it much easier for us to advise on the correct prop for the job

Hi guys,


Quick update - ordered props  from RC but supplier has gone into administation.
 
Any idea of another supplier and if the bras ones being only 25mm would be any good?


Thanks

Ah yes Amerang is/was the UK importer for Billing boats.
I just realised I may well have the BB prop in my bits box :) Stepson has a BB white star and we upgraded it to a brass prop.  It's been used but isnt damaged

[Peterb3333]

RC have mailed me to say they have one in stock, as I need two left and right will need to see what they've got.

[essex2visuvesi]

I checked and I have a right hand prop so if they can send a left hand one we are laughing

[Peterb3333]

Thanks I have mailed them to see    postage from Finland is it expensive?

[essex2visuvesi]

its about a Euro so dont worry about it, just throw a few sheckels in the RNLI box next time you see one


PM me your address and I'll send it anyway..... always handy to have a spare :)

That's extremely good of you, Thankyou indeed I will

[essex2visuvesi]

no problem... only sitting in a box doing nothing

[Peterb3333]

On a slight tangent I also am looking at changing the gearing cogs (if that makes sense) as currently they are plastic and a bit noisy when running, is this possible?


Might help If I posta pic

Thanks in advance

[Peterb3333]

Hi again,


Update 2 got Sant a right hand prop from a kind member which fits perfectly and screws on clockwise however on the other m3 thread this appears to thread anti clockwise? Does anyone know if when I find a left prop it would Come with this thread reverse,


Hope this makes sense?
