General
Description: It is an issue that Gori propellers installed on a SD20 saildrive will form grooves over time which will result in sea water penetration.
Notes

  • Methods to deal with groves on the propeller shaft:
  1. Add/re-position spacers between the seals
  2. Machine propeller shaft and add a 316SS sleeve to return to original size
  3. Replace propeller shaft
  • Periodic reposition the seals using shims (P/N 196315-02880 Circlip, Needle 52) allow longer life from the propeller shafts
  • Propeller shaft diameter: 35mm (where the seals ride)
  • Propeller shaft material: Likely 17-4 ph
  • Unacceptable repair: Installing a Speedi Sleeve (99139 SKF for a 35.00mm/1.375") - the Speedi Sleeve is not rated for continuous salt water immersion
