DIY boat engine propeller repair

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of propellers of outboard motors from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Brothers! On May, he did not have time to dodge the driftwood and as a result of the collision broke off half of the blade of the aluminum propeller. Motor Merck 90, a new screw costs about 6,000 rubles, so I thought about repairing a broken one, I rummaged on the Internet like a couple of offices in Moscow are engaged. Maybe someone tried to repair the screw or not get sick and buy a new one? I don’t feel sorry for the money, rather the question is interesting, for example, it can be cured and put as a backup

Recently there was a topic. It all depends on the cost of the work 🙂 And then I would only put such a screw in stock. So go to the store 🙁

I tried to weld such screws with argon outwardly, everything seems to be pretty good, but with a slight hit on any obstacle, it breaks at the place of welding. So it is repaired if the current is in reserve to reach the place. And I wouldn't even try.

Once, at a gathering of water motors, I drove across the ice fields of the Crimea with Whirlwind. I barely made it home, I almost became Chelyuskin, the wind moved the fields and really wiped them out, ice broke for an hour and a half. Having raised the motor, I saw that I had driven on one blade and did not notice, only the roots remained from the two blades. There was no vibration, it was gaining speed easier and there was no full speed.

I approximately thought that half the cost of the new one would be given for work, but there would be little sense. I will post a photo of a feint who could not stand the battle with a snag))) Today I replaced it with a new one

So maybe you tried with such hands?
A normally repaired, step-by-step and balanced propeller runs no worse (and often better) than a store-bought one.
Here is the screw (Susa 140) before and after the repair, after the repair it has been running for the third season

This propeller (Yama 30), after repair, has already participated in several cross-country races and no one is in a hurry to return for revision.

There are many more photos with screws, in the worst condition before repair (or generally welded from a bare hub - these are mainly for racing) and have been running for several seasons. It all depends on the hands.

    I agree with Mitrich and Sergei.

    I will add - an incorrectly straightened screw will quickly ruin the shaft or bearing (s) on the shaft - it will break like an unbalanced wheel disk.

    As a rule, one or two blades bend. If you see that it’s crooked, correct it. Choose the least damaged blade, make one not crooked, but the rest along it. And check everything else, shaft, plug caps, tank connectors. How many bent and knocked screws there were, there was never a particular vibration on motors up to 15 mares. The weights and sizes are not the same.

    Peter, of course, is good, but in this category it is not very budgetary.

    On the last fishing trip I hit a small piece of wood. The speed dropped by 2-3 km. Their. simia. At home in the garage I fixed the burrs on one blade, and on the next fishing trip I'll see what happened.

    But I disagree with either Engels or Kautsky ... (Heart of a Dog)

    No, well, you can ruin everything with our men, but so that quickly the bearings, and even more the shaft, mulberries, I am categorically disagreeable.

    If there is a strong vibration on the motor up to 15-18 forces on the tiller, then the difference in the curvature of the propeller blades can be seen even after 3-4 or even 5 stars. And if not with an “armed” look, then no questions at all.

    The node in this case is a reducer, the rest of the details of the node. To reduce the service life of the NODE, one of the parts must fail.

    The shaft loses geometry immediately upon impact.

    Then, the bent shaft breaks the oil seals, water gets into the gearbox, then the bearings run out, etc. increasingly.

    The shaft was bent, there was water in the gearbox.

    If the shaft is not bent, then even a “visual straightening on a hemp” to a more or less the same condition of the blades should not give a strong vibration. Of course, if the eye is not glass and your hands grow above the waist

    You shouldn't be so, one thing is a burr, another is a change in the geometry of the screw. I think that of course the shaft will not break right away, but it will significantly reduce the service of this unit.

    No, well, you can sit, cry, turn off the engine and go to the parking lot on the oars, turning on the alarm, of course, and call a mail courier on the sotik to urgently send the propeller to St. Petersburg

    And you can, of course, assessing the nuisance, take measures for restoration and continue fishing.

    And if the situation is even more deplorable - a broken blade - are there places where they know how to weld, or definitely for non-ferrous metal?

    In Novosibirsk, I have repeatedly seen advertisements for the restoration of screws and gearboxes, the price tag in the advertisement is humane. I did not apply myself. And he didn’t call.

    IMHO the ability to weld strongly depends on the material. But the question arises, has the broken piece survived?

    If there is a need, you need to call to find out the technology, then decide

    “Visual straightening on the hemp” to more or less the same condition of the blades should not give a strong vibration. Tie the crap to smack, my screw, aligned far from the hemp, gave a decent vibration, visually everything was in order. Found a joint only on a stepping hill.

    Date of registration: 30-September 14

    Any cast part after impact will have a broken geometry, and straightening and welding is practically impossible. To fix defects on parts of complex geometry, which screw is needed at least a matrix for this screw, well, hands with experience gained by more than one product. Wow, not only make the same curve, on all blades, but also the angle of inclination, relative to the axis, and the step must be observed.

    The question immediately arises, what is the difference between a proprietary screw and a copy? Probably, manufacturing accuracy and closeness to the ideal curve and efficiency close to ideal.

    However, the option with hemp, in fishing conditions, is simply necessary to continue fishing and return to the base.

    Do something useful in life, then it will become pleasant.

    The rotated screw from the Yamaha 30 was reanimated. Drilled through the screw and inserted the pins that prevent the sleeve from turning. The damper remained rotated but locked firmly.
    The method is not the most humane and correct, but very simple and cheap.

    guy screw well tighten the shaeba presses on the damper, from time to time it is necessary to overtighten and that's it. so I turned a new screw.

    We rode on the screw for about 20 minutes. Nothing criminal happened. Everything stands still. Lies as a spare.

    I ran into such a problem right now, tell me how long did it take?

    Image - DIY boat engine propellers repair

    Imagine I just did it differently. Where the nut splits the hole, I drilled the screw on both sides and stuck a through pin along the edges of the groove.

    Image - DIY boat engine propellers repair

    This is a spare screw. It took only about an hour. So the statistics are too small.

    Image - DIY boat engine propellers repair

    You have done something stupid, 1.Take Soviet outboard motors, the propeller is secured with brass or bronze pins, I will not talk about the strength of metals, in short, aluminum pins are not rolled in this mounting option. 2. The rubber-reinforced damper provides a reduction in radial-dynamic loads from the gearbox shaft, in other words, all dynamic discrepancies will come to the radial bearings of the gearbox shaft, resulting in the destruction of the gearbox.
    3. Pouring such things with epoxy is also stupid, it's easier to cut threads in a screw and twist pins and put the threads on glue - then it will be dead.
    4. Unfortunately, I did not quite understand from the video what exactly scrolled (outer diameter damper)?
    5. Here, the same thing, only after 70 km, everything fell into disrepair

    Aluminum pins are about nothing. Either steel (brass), or not at all. But it is better to somehow replace the damper.

    Image - DIY boat engine propellers repair

    Of course you are right, but I proceeded from considerations or throw it out or try to do so.
    I did not have a goal to do it tightly. If I turn the aluminum pins, I will immediately throw out this screw.
    I think everyone understands that any change to the factory design is done at your own peril and risk.
    At the end of the month I will ride this propeller for a couple of days. And I'll write later what happened to him.

    Tem, panimash what's the matter, I'll try to explain it easier.))
    First, make a step slide so that you can see for yourself what you are doing.
    All that you do is from idleness, but does not bring you closer to the correct screw.
    Why.
    The answer is simple - you do not know if the blade you took the impression is correct.
    I personally had 1 perfectly correct screws, this is the one that Almay did not rule after the check. True, he still turned out to be a little jumbled, not the step as it is written on it, 15 is written, but really the cleanest 14. And Almay made me and my friends have more than fifty screws.

    See what happens, just an example.
    On the propeller, for example yours, the marking 9 14X3X14 is written, but in reality the blades can be at the base (hub) 1516 and end in 1413 and what happens from this. The beginning of the blade begins to spin, and the edges slow down, so the boat does not go. progressive), then the chance to go is real, but who knows without checking.
    Therefore, if you want to achieve something, but you need to approach the issue with the utmost care.

    But in my opinion, if you are not going to do this, then it is easier to send Lyokha to make the screw and let it be a little more expensive, it's not about the money, you already lost your fucking wish. and the dying of the oil seal, or the boat does not go.

    Before Lyokha, I made screws for a rider known at one time in St. Petersburg, everything was hurt until he began to trust the apprentices. I gave the propeller to him, the result is the second place in its class at the “Ice Race”, the speed is 7879 km / h. instead of 7374 km / h.

    "Whoever hunts and fishes will not get anything!" "From myself and for my brother!"

    A properly restored screw is no worse than a new one. In addition, restoration is 3-4 times cheaper than a new screw (non-original). When you kill a screw 2-3 times over the summer, the savings are significant.

    Believe me - it is possible in practice. Everything depends on the master.

    If you need someone to fix the screw, knock on the PM, I'll give you the master's phone number.

    I don't want to post it in the public domain.

    If the wines are worth 20 thousand and wait a month. Then no alternatives. And for 2t.r it is easier to buy a new one.

    The damper (bushing) of the standard (original) Suzuki DF-15 propeller turned. According to the Servesmen, a replaceable bushing is not included in spare parts. Throwing out a propeller with intact blades, the hand does not rise. Our country is full of Kulibins. This gives rise to the actual question: “Who treated the problem, how? “. Redoing under the key as an option, which is accompanied by drilling, I leave it as the very last.
    This problem applies to other brands of engines as well.

    I drilled a damper (rubber) in several places, filled it with glue, screwed in several self-tapping screws - Holds for 20 hours has passed. Now in stock, I use a high-speed one. Yamaha 8.

    As I understand it, the rubber was drilled to reach the screw body and the cavity was filled with glue (what?). And where were the screws screwed in? If in the body of rubber to wedge, is it not better to use rods with glue? They will seal better than self-tapping screws.

    Yes, I did that. He took molecular glue in a small tube. Maybe it should have been different?

    Valera, think about it yourself. what is better to sell them - a screw or a bushing. Now, if they offered you a sleeve for 100 and a screw for 200 (based on prices, for example, according to my link), then it would be better for them to sell the sleeve. But smart people also sit there and understand. that you obviously can't buy a sleeve for 100.

    It is clear that the mandrel is needed, and also the question is about the restoration, because the damper also costs money. Here are the nuances of technology and balance (taking into account the revs) in order to restore the propeller not as a spare, but as a running propeller.

    Well, in another way, in this version, it can only with self-tapping screws, as already mentioned, if they fill the role of spacers-seals. the self-tapping screw cuts the body practically without bursting the hole. I haven't seen the bushings of my screw. If there is a solid body, then yes, but if the outer surface has longitudinal ribs, then this can get into the cavity. Again, experiments with glue are needed to withstand the environment a habitat.
    But this is theory (IMHO), and the practitioners are still silent.

    Sobsno the best recovery technology :)

    Screws and glue. I spent about 20 hours, now in stock. He, an infection, probably scrolls inside on a small diameter. If a large diameter was scrolled, then it would be possible to drill through the metal of the screw and screw it onto the rubber. Unless, of course, I'm not confusing.

    At what service did they say that? Purely curious. I even have this in my warehouse. Someone ordered a long time ago and did not come to pick it up. Drive up, I'll give it up at the entrance, rarely demanded thing. Usually the screws cripple, but the dampers are alive.

    Rummaging in the world wide web, on the issue of replacing the bushing, I came across useful information. Therefore, in the topic I changed the title simply to "screw repair".

    At one time, when King Hammurami was still living, he argued that the time spent fishing is not included in the total life span. This is also stated by many citizens who like to spend part of their free time fishing.

    Typically, most anglers own a boat. Many boats, especially modern ones, are equipped with gasoline engines. And a boat without a motor, especially if you have to fish in the expanses of a large lake, becomes a burden that requires huge costs, strength and energy to move. And here you definitely need a motor: gasoline or electric - no difference.

    And yet, special attention should be paid to the electric motor, because:

    • electric ones do not require oil or gasoline for their work, which means there are no exhaust gases, which does not harm nature;
    • electric motors are smaller, lighter and less space-consuming. This is especially true if you have to fish far away, and every kilogram of excess weight is always felt;
    • they are much more profitable than their gasoline counterparts in economic terms;
    • modern designs are assembled on modern parts developed using modern technologies, therefore, with a minimum weight, they have maximum power.

    But these statements take place in the event that the boat owner already has an electric motor and has experienced such advantages to the fullest. But what if he is not there? So, you need to do it yourself.

    Many adventurous boat owners use a drill or screwdriver that runs on batteries, as the industrial design of an electric motor is based on the same principle. The basic layout of such a unit is almost the same for all models and looks like this:

    • the battery is the power source;
    • the electric motor acts as a boat engine;
    • a propeller with a gearbox is a working tool that ensures the movement of the boat on the water;
    • control unit - consists of a handle for turning the direction of movement and changing the speed of rotation of the electric motor.

    Almost all elements can be found in an electric drill or screwdriver. It should be borne in mind that industrial devices are hermetically sealed, which allows the main units to be in the water.
