Re: Propeller for 40/40

So we decided to go with a fixed prop - a Campbell Sailor three blade prop. We had it installed today and are happy so far with the performance. With our old Brunton Autoprop we would put it into first gear while sailing so the shaft and prop wouldn't spin. With this one when we're either in neutral...

Propeller for 40/40

We need a new propeller on our 40/40 and would like to find out what others have put on and if you are happy or unhappy with your choice. We appreciate all opinions and advice.
Thank you!

Re: mast wedge help

Our mast wedge is disintegrating as well and I've been trying to figure out what to do. I found this online and was wondering if anyone else has tried this? If so, any thoughts?

Re: F40/40 owners manual

This is a very old thread, but has anyone scanned the 40/40 owner's manual?

40/40 anchor chain roller

This may not be the right place to post this question, but figured I'd try. Our '97 40/40 likely has the original 2 anchor rollers and they are very worn out. We are looking for both and can't seem to find the chain roller that is just forward of the anchor locker. It is clearly part of the original...

Re: 40/40 Dingy davits, radar arch

I'm not great with getting pictures uploaded and these we're taken for other purposes, but perhaps they'll give you an idea.

Re: Camber spar

Hi Stephen,
Any chance you can post a pic of the cable clamp suggestion? It's not quite clear in my mind. Thanks,

Length of anchor chain 40/40

Our chain is looking like it's nearing the end of its life. I was wondering how much chain others have on the 40/40? P.O. had put in 210' of (we're thinking) 5/16" chain plus a long length of rode. Also, does anyone know of a regalvanizer for chain in the northeast i.e. New England...? Thanks, Riki

Mast collar rubber backing 40/40

Has anyone needed to replace the rubber under the mast collar? Do you have the specs or where you bought it?
Thanks,

AutoPilot for 40/40

Any owners of a 40/40 out there who have a newer AutoPilot? Wondering what you chose and whether you are happy with it? What issues you had installing it, etc?

Our old Robertson no longer works...

Thanks!
