Reconditioned main prop…

“Shirley”
from Dominey Prop in Brunswick GA picked up our propeller last week, and brought it back all trued up and polished to our marina today. She is the mother-in-law of Tyler Dominey. TXT him for best results: 912-222-8437

Captain Gene of Galene and I tested out the 3-blade spare we carry on-board last week. Results: not as good as the 4-blade, but it works as a good spare.

Spare 3-blade on for testing.
Markings on this 4-blade prop.

It’s a pretty big wheel!

The fish will certainly like this new polished wheel!!!

FYI (full disclosure):

Our 2000 Mainship 390 has a CAT 3126.

There is quite a bit of variability among Mainship 390-s in engines, transmissions, gear ratios, props, and typical cruising RPM-s.

e.g. Yanmar, CAT, Volvos, etc. So, in my experience, taking one MS390’s prop spec for another may not yield the desired / optimum results!
