Brunton Varifold 3 blade 17” x 15”
During my west to east North
Atlantic crossing
, between
Azores
and
Portugal
one of my Brunton Varifold
propeller
mysteriously got
lost
.
This is what I found attached to the shaft. Seems to me like 3 hex screws broke.
Has this happened to anyone of you?
The props were installed by the Factory 3 years ago. I inspected them in the
water
before the
ocean crossing
and they seemed good.

Re: Brunton Varifold 3 blade 17” x 15”
The whole assembly dropped off leaving nothing but a chunk of the hub? Is there a chance of bad contact to the annode? I've seen stainless look fine at the
head
, but completely corrode away where it could not get oxygen.
