We have an attach point in front of the shark fin and will have a harness on to get in the engine compartment to work on them that will not have enough length to let us fall out the back of the boat. The same harness and tether length should work good hooked to the tow eye on the back to change props.
During the Bermuda challenge we had live video and people were watching it and all the sudden we stopped and you see chris jump overboard, People were like what the hell just happened? It was funny to see what people said on some of the forums. Then at night the camera was pretty dark and we broke another prop and people were saying I don't know what is happening but I see something shinny and a big wrench. |

I am still amazed to this day that you guys not only changed, big heavy dangerous props in the middle of the ocean, you did it twice! And didn't drop anything? Truly a feat!

I am assuming that this will be tilted for transport. Is the fin detachable? I think that would be a large thing to stick off the side when rolling down any road, around a turn, etc.

I've tried to upload photos for a few hours and the site is not working. I will try again tomorrow.

Tyson, Download dropbox and it will automatically sync all the photos from your phone to your computer and you can sort by chronological order. Also, it will give you a link for copying right into the post.

About time you post some pictures on here.. :drool1:
Hows the endurance dyno testing looking? |
I'd consider putting some kind of safety wire style attachment points on prop nuts and the prop itself, and a tether on the wrench for while you're doing the swap to take the fear of dropping something off our mind. It seems like an easy thing to do then just clip the wire off the prop and nut once it's on and finger tight. The wrench could just be tethered to the boat so you didn't have to hold onto it while swapping things out.
Amazing project BTW |

If we are running, pirates would be able to see the rooster tail no matter what the color of boat, but we can out run them. If we're broke down we may not want them to see us. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._on_a_RHIB.jpg |
